Red, Purple or Blue?

[CalgaryRapsFan]

Just realized, what happened to the Huskies jerseys? According to that source you listed, all new alternate jerseys must be worn for at least 2 years. That can't be true since we only wore those jerseys in the 09-10 season for about 6 games. There still might be a chance to forever rid those abominations.

Or it might just be one of the new additions from the CBA.

I'm not 100% it's a rule, I'm just going by what the Raptors' PR guy tweeted. I also would have guessed that those Husky jerseys were worn a few games for a couple seasons, but my fashion recall isn't all that accurate. I have no idea where that sort of info would be available, maybe the NBA site? Or possibly ask the NBA folks or Raptors PR folks on Twitter?

lol fully agreed! I totally respect and appreciate the franchise wanting to honor the Canadian Armed Forces, but the graphic designer(s) who came up with those jersey designs and genius(es) who approved them, should face the firing squad for subjecting us fans to them!

Ugh, what genius thought of camo jerseys? CAMO?

I think it's to prevent teams from introducing new 3rd jerseys every season just to make money. If fans buy a 3rd jersey, at least it will be relevant for 2/3 seasons.

Gotta love rules for the sake of rules that serve no purpose.

I am 99% sure that the camo jerseys will be back this season, unfortuantely. I few weeks ago on the Raptors official PR Twitter feed, somebody asked them about alternate jerseys and they confirmed that when a team uses an alternate jersey they must use it for 2 seasons (or possibly 3, I can't recall), per league rules.

Apparently the Raptors denied that those will be the jerseys worn

I hope that the "report" isn't true. I have been patiently waiting for them to bring the purple dino jerseys back.

Raptors getting "Late 90's" Home throwback in 2012-2013

i stumbled on this article from uni-watch, an espn affiliate, which says the raps along with a few other teams are getting throwbacks. read the paragraph under the heading "uni watch news ticker"


http://www.uni-watch.com/2012/07/20/...ising-in-2013/


i also found another article that said that more teams are getting jerseys similar to miami's back in black.

You people have lost your mind. The purple dino was the original reason this team was mocked, even in those first few years when expansion teams are given a pass for being crappy. The days of opponents playing the Barney song in their arena when the Raps came to town are over. Let's keep it that way. Those jerseys make the team look foolish and are downright hideous.

completely agree. i think it's time a little respect was brought our way around the league
