Raptors Rebrand Theory

Bring back Barney

WTF does it matter whether it's historically accurate? Ever listen to Utah jazz? Or swim in LA's lakes?

Utah Jazz does exist... in fact, they have a festival for it every year.

New uniforms just around the corner!

#Raptors RT @ekoreen: Can confirm that is the new logo. Expect uniforms and a full colour scheme in the new year. pic.twitter.com/AkKYE9LWGR

Yikes. Not a fan of that one. Don't have a problem w/ the design. But the colours just don't match. Red, silver, black and white??

The other one, the black and white version is much better. Simpler, cleaner.

I think the colour proportions just need to be adjusted. They can take care of that easily on clothing. Red can be minimized if used as just an accent colour in the stitching/trim. It's hard to visualize looking at the logo alone, but I think it could work.

Dude, the Lakers started off in Minneapolis. The name stuck due to winning.

And the lakers from minnesota. But neither changed their names because they were now inaccurate.

I wish silver/grey wasn't an official colour. Because it looks so dull against a black background. The Spurs at least use white to make things pop.

Hopefully this isn't final.

Fuck Drakelyn

So I made this, a bunch of colour vaiations of it. I know it's sloppy because time was more important than quality right now and I did this on Microsoft Paint. Let me know your favourites.



I think it looks a lot less like the Brooklyn logo when there's colour to it. I personally like 9 and 18, and 3 is the alleged real colour.

I'm 1000% sure that we'll be red black and white, and I'm not barring out the possibility of a tiny bit purple.

I don't see gold happening.

1. It will age badly.
2. It's awesome when Drake jumps on the Raps bandwagon (only reason why i like him), but it's really lame when the raps jump on Drake's bandwagon.

I quite like 19. I could see a little purple trim somewhere on the jersey too. Just like a couple little outlines somewhere.

Number 4 looks okay.... I'd buy it.

Honestly 3 is probably the best. Purple and especially that puke-green just look messy

Such an embarrassment rebranding. Adding the throwback games this year was awesome! Why do we need a full rebrand? Losers rebrand. Winning is the new brand, any idea of just black and white or any mention of gold is brutal. This will be our 4th rebrand in 20 years??!? How are we going to ever be taken seriously as a legit team... Subtle changes and additions are awesome but leave it at that

I don't give a shit whether they rebrand or not. I am obviously in the minority considering how passionate a topic this is - way more than the game tonight for instance. When so many people care so much, there is money to be made.
