  • Raptors Changing Brand/Colours (Keeping Same Name)

    Doug Smith is reporting that they are going to change the colours and brand but keep Raptors as their name.

    Thoughts?

    Speculation on the colour change --- maybe to Blue/White ala Jays/Leafs ... or maybe red and white

    I think this is a year too early. I think 2014/2015 will be our decisive season and give us a clear picture of the Raptors future. Eg. this team sucks we go into full rebuild we land Wiggins or Parker ... it would be a completely fresh start to unveil a new age for the Raps

    I like the idea of blue & white. Variations on a theme.

          Blue and white with purple accents would be a unique colour scheme in the NBA and it would also be a callback to the original purple uniforms.

            If All-Star TORONTO 2016 signage is any indication, Red and White is likely to be the colour scheme.

                I'm not really a fan of having the three major T.O. sports teams wear a blue/white colour scheme. Like the idea of going back to purple though..

                  Icicles? And perpetuate the concept that Toronto is Unbearably Cold? Nah. They're trying to fix this image problem. Lol

                    I like the current white/red/black tbh, I must despise the unis/logo. Id like to see something more classic, simple.

                    That or we go full retard and bring back the purple and obscenely ridiculous raptor unis, only slightly updated. I'm surprisingly fine with that too.

                    It'll be pretty interesting to see if Drake can bring in a legit, forward thinking designer.

                      +1 million. If they want to brand as "Canada's" team, then assimilating with the Leafs (possibly the most hated sport team in Canada outside of its own fans) is a bad idea.

                      I keep picturing the Oregon Ducks football jerseys, but with purple instead of green.

                        I don't like the idea of a rebrand at all, unless it's full-blown with a name change. The classic franchises in every sport DO NOT rebrand, change colour schemes, or dramatically change logos - ever. Bad teams and struggling franchises do all the time. Be classy, Toronto!

                          I like the Buffalo Bills color scheme. I think would be a good look. Red white and blue.

                            If they stick with the color red then they need to copy the Indiana Hoosiers basketball team jerseys for 2016 rebranding. Simple.

                              The New England Patriots come to mind as a storied franchise that successfully implemented a "re-brand" without a name change.
