They're nice, although I don't understand the commitment to the chevrons and the v-neck. If there is a push for a certain amount of continuity in the design cues, I would have liked to see the purple come back. I know there'll be plenty of vintage stuff (and nights) around, but white and red ("Canada's team" marketing idea, I'm sure) will always be more generic team colours than these babies:

I think the new jerseys are great. I'm definitely going to buy my first Raptors jersey now. They basically refined the old ones which were already fine and made it much better. Also I actually love the font.
People really need to get over the purple tho lol. It's clear the organization wants the Raptors to be "Canada's" team. Our current colour scheme exemplifies that. People can get their purple fix on retro nights. Don't need an entire set of purple unis for Canada's team.

I also really like the new font and am indifferent on the new numbers. I guess it's one of those "some people say that cucumbers tastes better pickled" situations. Can't please everyone.
Finally, fuck purple. It's a weird feminine color that doesn't look good on any pro sports team. I literally have no clothes that are purple. I think you guys are just stuck on it as a nostalgia thing, even though the Kings were doing it before we were, and the Kings have probably the ugliest jerseys in the entire NBA.

Still though, it's odd how the white of the letters + numbers isn't repeated anywhere else on the shirt. Gives it a rec-league vibe. I guess they were following this kind of thinking:
...but it doesn't work as well.

didn't realize how many teams wear blue.
And compared to the rest of the jerseys in this pic, I have to say, ours looks pretty damn good."Stop eating your sushi."
