They could have had a black alt without relying on black at all for their primary sets. Which is why I am surprised that the Iverson black set (or a fauxback version of it) hasn't been reintroduced yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont care Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I’m still failing to see what is making these “trash.” When you have examples of similar uniform designs like the Sonics arch uniforms and Portland’s sashes, and Washington’s Americans flag stripes. They are all similar elements and are loved so why are these different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Sonics = Text fit a bit more naturally and was more easily readable in a rounded arch (though IMO that uniform was a little overrated, anyway). Blazers = Text is not forced into the sash, the sash accompanies the text. Bullets/Wizards = Text did not have to be distorted in any fashion to fit the stripe; the wordmark is still perfectly horizontal and optimal for readability. Raptors = Text is forced to fit within a shape that is awkward for text, letter alignment forms jagged steps rather than a rounded arch that flows, and is thus more jarring to read than the other three examples. That’s just my two cents, but that’s why (in my opinion) the Raptors’ treatment is far worse than other cited treatments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season will be the 20th anniversary of their last conference title, and they wore that set at the time. Maybe that will give them a reason to bring those back as some type of throwback.

BBTV Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I don't follow basketball too much either, but I'm completely certain that there's a host of other self-inflicted errors that have done in the process.

gosioux76 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 These Raptors uniforms make me feel like a huge hypocrite. Here I am, regularly criticizing teams with overly designed, ultra-modern, trend-driven looks, practically begging them to simplify. Then the Raptors basically do just that and I can't stand them. And I don't know why. I hate how the block letters stack diagonally inside the chevron. It looks ... i don't know the word. Maybe unnatural? It's one thing to see block letters cascade diagonally, like with the New York Rangers -- as a sash. But it looks awkward forced inside a chevron. I recognize this is a trend in the NBA lately, likely started by the Raptors. The Hawks new unis are vastly simplified. The Wolves, as well, to a lesser extent. But this one just doesn't work for me.

SCL Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I seem to be in the minority but I am a huge fan of the new unis, especially if red and black have to remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Akronite- Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The chevron is a fine design element to build around, I just find the rest of the identity uninspired and dull, which was already the case but now slightly moreso. The shorts will be a big factor, I kinda like what they currently have with the T. I rarely like it when Nike goes with single color necks/sleeves, so for there to be no distinction to them at all makes them seem even more like knock-offs. Glad they aren't boosting the gold at least, but I'm among those wanting purple back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoE38_Concepts Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I don't understand why they chose the letters in the chevron to be red. Having them in white would match the logo, and be much more readable. @noe38concepts (Instagram - Twitter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanfan Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Little nitpick: the white jerseys do not need that black outline around the text and numbers. White and red itself is already a good contrast. Both jerseys desperately need a collar color. Especially the whites. Good move for the logo though. the idea is great to me, I'm all for a big ol chevron I think it's a unique idea. The execution is just poor though. Their one job was to make the chevron white on the red jerseys just like the jerseys they won the championship in. The whole reason they have these uniforms is to bring back the championship look yet don't bring back the championship jerseys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I'm guessing the association jerseys will end up using black letters outlined in white on the red chevron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
