keynote Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I like the black/gold/silver color scheme, actually, but they should be in Maple Leaf blue and white.Also, why is it so hard to get that "We The North" is supposed to be a Canadian spin on "We The People"?I didn't get that. I thought it was more of a Night's Watch kinda thing, for the team north of the Wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Um, the Canadian national anthem feature's the phrase "the True North strong and free" . The "We the north" slogan is an intentional reference to that as the Raptors are marketing themselves as "Canada's team". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 It's also grammatically incorrect, and quite annoyingly so. A simple comma would solve the problem. "We the North" looks cringe-worthy. "We, the North" is a simple solution.Then again, Drake is involved, so that explains a lot.

Old School Fool Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Funny how people say this is the Brooklyn Nets. I guess every roundel logo is a ripoff of the Nets now? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRicSlick Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 At least the Raptor's are actually changing the primary, not just recoloring it and never using it. That's a positive of this rebrand. But, I'll still miss this guy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Not every roundel is like the Nets. Just a roundel with the same colours and placement of names and basketball is like the Nets.This is also a roundel, but not one that looks like the Nets.

ror1997 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 It's a ripoff because it has the city on top and the name at the bottom and a ball in the center AND it's in black and white.

So no, it's not a Nets ripoff. You're just confused because Drake is a rapper just like Jay-Z. Are we even sure Drake came up with this 100% even?

Delicate Genius Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Really disappointing. I knew something gross was going to be done when the rebranding was announced and Drake showed up. As a pretty big Raptor fan myself I wish he would go work for one of the other 46 favourite teams he has and leave the Raptors alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatic Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 On the one hand, I think the idea of a clawed basketball logo is a good idea. On the other, this wasn't executed that well. Because all I see is yet another "Basketball with script" logo. And I think the NBA has just enough of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAWeaver Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I can't stand this logo. It looks like someone pasted a basketball into paint and used the brush tool to make "claw marks". I know claw marks are supposed to be rough but good grief is that rough. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Call the ballin' Raptor cheesy if you want, but it's original and I personally love it. Not some generic roundel with a picture of a basketball in it. This is a secondary logo at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
