You guys are being a little nutty / paranoid about the color scheme. Going with blue does not make the Raptors more like the Maple Leafs (a fucking hockey team, wrong sport), it's just a color of the jersey. It's like saying all of OKC's injuries are because their jersey's are blue and that's similar to Maple Leaf jerseys so they need to suck. Some weird game of 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon and we can tie our color scheme to some other sports team, and thereby say we shouldn't do it.
Also, the Bulls and Cubs have had the same color schemes and more or less same jersey's since inception (like 100 years). The Raptors have changed a shit ton. We have no identity jersey wise. I think every time we've made the playoffs it has been with a different jersey.
I find the current jersey's boring as hell and can't wait for some new ones. Every team is blue? How about every team is red? Rockets, Bulls, Hawks, Heat, Cavs, Clippers, Blazers, Wizards, Sixers, Bucks (alternates). That's right, a full 1/3rd of the NBA has red jerseys. Black and red is quite possibly the most overused and boring color scheme in the NBA.
Basically, it doesn't matter what colors they go with. Just that the jersey's look good and everyone wants one.
