DAKINS24 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 On 3/3/2017 at 12:27 PM, The Giant Pacific Octopus said: Back when the name was announced I was listening to it on the Fan 590 (a popular sports radio station here in Toronto), and they stated the winning entry was sent in by a little girl and that she was given a prize pack for her name being selected (i think it was something like season tickets and some jerseys and paraphernalia) . And I remember stating to my brother "So they listened to some kid for the team name". We all hated the name when it was announced. As for in print there was an article that mentioned it in the Toronto Star and if I recall a blurb in Gamepro magazine under their "Entertainment News Section" That's not at all what happened. The team name was chosen by a fan vote to pick the name. I should know, I voted in it, for the Raptors. You're welcome everyone. The final names to pick from were: Beavers Bobcats Dragons Grizzlies Hogs Raptors T-Rex Tarantulas Terriers http://www.nba.com/raptors/history/raptors_history.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Very strange Timberwolves prototype from eBay... it features the Rev30 fabric, the old tree-trimmed collars and use of green, and a weird take on their side striping from that era. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Adidas-Authentic-Minnesota-Timberwolves-Jersey-Sample-Rev-30-Pro-Game-Apparel/253366851134?hash=item3afdd7563e:g:zHMAAOSwBp9aWmPz 2 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have the prototype uniform of the Bombers and the St. Louis Stallions. When I freelanced at the NFL, the unnamed source sold them to me. 4 Quote https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1621462554538638&set=g.802800243200710&type=1&theater&ifg=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustDevil61 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) On 1/16/2018 at 1:07 PM, Ice_Cap said: I love those last two, even though I know I shouldn’t. Those Minnesota North Stars jerseys reminds me of the Starter Dallas Stars jerseys that are heavily green and gold, with nary a trace of white. I'm not the biggest fan of the logo in the arm stripes--perhaps numbers would fit there better--or the fact that this was billed as the regular road uniform, but I really like this concept as an alternate. I like the emphasis on gold here and wished that the Stars would do that with a third at some point in the future. (I also have one.) Edited January 20, 2018 by DustDevil61 Further clarification and punctuation, striked early 1990s "North" from "North Stars," numbers in arm stripes, as an alternate 2 Quote AKA @LanRovr0 on Twitter LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So according to the sketch of the uniforms, the original aim was to have the helmet logos meet in the back? Or at least that was something that was considered? It seems kinda early-90s "rad" but at the same time it's something that wasn't done in reality till the Seahawks (also joining forces with Nike) in 2012.

UnclearInitial Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 In the discussion about the Nuggets color changes on Twitter we found out that the roundel pickaxes logo was originally designed by supposed to become the primary in 1997 and was already approved by Nuggets owner but they forgot to show it to David Stern and it got mothballed until it would wind up recolored as a secondary a decade later. Todd Radom was involved in creating new uniforms (you can see it had side panels) and the mountain/DN Shield popped up Also, the evolution of the Bobcats logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
