We need to embrace the dinosaur part a bit more in the logo.

These are still the best to me. Should've always remained the main ones.

Drake loves the actual raptor. Would guess they bring it back in a modern way

At least it's not as bad as soccer kits. They change them every single year, all so their fans can pay another $100 for a new kit every year.

All 3 jerseys will be the north chevron theme.

White home says raptors
Red road says Toronto
Black alternate says north

This is how it should be done.

While the *details* on the new look have yet to be revealed, we’ve got a pretty good hunch that the team will adopt a chevron-style uniform

Of course. The chevron has been our unofficial mascot since 1999.

Let's start a petition to rename the Raptor to Chevron :lol:

Raptors picked as the best name.

1. Raptors
Finding inspiration in Jurassic Park is a product of being founded in the ’90s, but the Raptor is—in this instance and this instance only—timeless. Nothing looks better on a vintage jersey than a creature so vintage it can no longer be found on this earth. The Raptors cartoon is the difference between thousands of Vince Carter jerseys at a music festival and none;

**** THE GODDAMN CHEVRONS!

The chevrons are ugly AF. I don't care that we won a championship with them. They need to go. Bring back the purple dinos.

I couldn't agree more. I love these jerseys!

Chevrons til we die

I absolutely hate the Chevrons. So ugly in my opinion.

Simpler the better.

Chevron's are the worst part of any Jersey we've had. So naturally, they make it the primary thing. Yes we won a title in them, but they are the ugliest jerseys in raptor history. The Toronto jersey from last year was the best since the dino. Bring back the damn dinosaur it sells way better than anything we've had since.

BigBoss23 · Post #76 » by **BigBoss23** » Tue Jun 16, 2020 3:06 pm

Make the 2020 city jerseys our primary and also the corresponding court. I love the city court and also the retro court looks awesome. Me thinks they will break out the purple throwbacks next season.

I said this many times here, but you have name Raptor, raptor is such dynamic cool looking predator animal, I think we could have something much better than this. Old fat barny Raptor was stupid and new watermelon was even stupider idea.

I have logo somewhat imagined in my head, first of all I think the whole body of the raptor must be drawn on primary logo, Raptors just look so fast, aerodynamic creatures, I can picture now its torso and tail being drawn in a way you just get a futuristic feel.

I might try to draw a logo later just to get my idea out of the system, because man, one of the coolest names in the league - so much potential for a good logo.

RaptorsNorth · Post #78 » by **RaptorsNorth** » Tue Jun 16, 2020 3:49 pm

The chevron design is mostly used on soccer jerseys. I understand the meaning behind it for the raptors but it doesn’t fit as a main logo on a basketball jersey. They could have used it on the sides of the jersey instead. There’s so many good young designers in this city and they go with someone that’s going to come up with a crappy a.. soccer jersey design. The chevron design should never be on a basketball jersey.

Now that the raptors won a championship they’re going to use that to sell Us pure meh design clothing and accessories. I mean they were going downhill with those playoffs t shirts but now You’re going to see a lot of crap designs with a championship logo slapped on them because they know it’s going to sell like crazy anyways. Every time I think they’ve taken a step forward they take 4 backwards. They took a step forward with the new black and gold court and the white raptors jerseys but then They take 4 steps backwards by still trying to push this chevron design. The worst thing you can do is give MLSE an even easier way to make money.

We won the title so Raps dont gotta acquiesce the teams image just to look cool or appealing to kids.

Just go back to Dino. Live your truth.
