Bringing back up the whole name change idea... There's many of you that have always hated the whole dinosaur feel and I can understand why. So what if they just replaced the logo with one of these bad boys(F 22 Raptors), that way we keep the Raptor name and we could get some new grimy looking uni's. Some dark green, Naismith silver, some black and beige maybe. We'll start some fundraising for the licensing fees if we must.

Man, I'd be all for that...if the Canadian Military used the F-22 Raptor. I think we're moving to the F-35 Lightning after the Hornets are done their life in 2017...but it would be cool if they chose the Raptor instead and we changed to logo in honor of the forces."Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival."

I am afraid the fighter plane symbolism doesnt make much sense in any branding or visionary way. It's man made which means it is destructible ...and what happens in 2030 when it gets replaced by a better marvel "the Cougar"! I personally find it distasteful (though I like the engineering marvel and associated speed) for the weapon and war it represents. As a country we dont manufacture it nor even own one of them.
It would be far more simple really if BC et al would just inject the team with players who would play the "scratching & clawing & demonlike" play on the bb court which would be in keeping with what what the dinosaur represented and how it behaved. We'd scare many a team, win a few more games, as well as having a very exciting team to watch and cheer for. Go Raptors (Dinos).
