They made cool fan jerseys but didn't belong on the court and helped usher in this era of muddled identities and looks of the week. I don't dislike this look, but now the Raptors are gonna become a black and gold team? Oh Nike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only real issues are that the current number font doesn't go with their '90s identity at all - and, of course, the old-school '90s color scheme would look nicer than the OVO colors.

They've had black and gold alternates since 2016, so the pattern is already well established by this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re gonna make jerseys about people they should represent people that have done something to the game of basketball. The Kobe jersey, while frustrating bad. Was better than the prince jersey by far. I’d go on to say the prince jersey was one of the worst in nba history.

Just because there is a relationship between hip-hop and basketball doesn’t mean teams should use rappers in a cynical cash grab by preying on the sentimentality of fans without benefitting the “honored” party in any way. Maybe if the Nets donated a percentage of the jersey sales to initiatives against gun violence or something to benefit the community, that would be something, but the way it is now, it doesn’t feel like the teams are being genuine to me. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

All 30 NBA teams revenue share their merchandise sales, so something like that wouldn't be possible. The closest you could get would be a set donation to a charity. I like what the Thunder did, in that they're funding free admission days to the OKC Memorial periodically throughout the season. Nice way to support an actual cause in lieu of a straight profit-donation option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
