pepis21 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Is that a little indication that Raptors bring back Dino Purple in next season? I hope not, because even If I love Dino unis I'd prefer to see this one: 2025 will be 25th anniversary of that legendary SDC, so let's do it and finally retire Vince number. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the bat, I am a fan of the LED court for events like this. I am interested to get the opinions of fans there in the dome and players in the events. I loved the ability the court had to track scores during three point shootout and the flare added to the dunk contest and skills challenge was kind of fun. But, with as green as the court was during the shootout I wondered if that was an issue for the players? 2 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

B3N Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Not sure if this fits the thread, as it’s a very minor change in the NBA; but the league quietly introduced a new shot clock in tonight’s games: New Old Main difference is the number font and border. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expecting any serious changes. The team seems pretty committed to red/white/black as the primary colour scheme, while keeping the purple and black/gold in the mix via the city/earned/throwback jerseys. As for Vince's number, I feel like fans have mostly moved on after his messy exit and his number will likely be in the rafters at some point, but they want Kyle Lowry to be the first guy. Once 7 has been retired we'll see who else gets the honour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'd love to see the 2nd generation purple brought back. It's probably my favourite of any uniform they've worn. The earned jersey from a couple of years ago definitely took some inspiration from it, but came across as a bland mashup of the purple era & the current chevron era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoGreenGoWhite Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 The Wolves should roll with the throwbacks full time. So much more fun than their navy look. Just return to these brighter colors in some fashion please. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, I don't even recall seeing the Wolves play in their standard home or away uniforms this season. It's always either the grey alt, this throwback or the meh city edition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the garbage he pulled, Toronto retiring Vince Carter's number would be one of the most spineless moves an NBA franchise has ever made. Might as well suggest the Celtics retire Kyrie's number. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And um, yeah, most of Toronto got over all of that nearly a decade ago: Aside from him singlehandedly putting the Raptors on the basketball map, think of all the Canadian hoopers that followed VC's time in Toronto. If that ain't enough of a reason to retire the man's number, I don't know what else is. 5 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well suggest the Celtics retire Kyrie's number. I associate the Toronto with Vince Carter more than any other place he played in. I remember as a kid when he came in and it instantly made the Raptors the coolest team in the NBA even though my favorite team is the Lakers. I even sent mail to the Raptors as a kid and they mailed me back a postcard with Dee Brown's autograph on it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fonts don't match the ones in the logo (which don't match each other), the full team nickname doesn't fit but they didn't go with Minnesota either, I just don't get it. It looks like they ordered them from a catalogue like a suburban high school team. Was that the appeal all along? 5 1 4 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I don't get it either. The double outline blurs everything, the typeface is dull and has a weird V shape, the husky dog in the logo of that time looks like he's old and panting like a mouthbreather. Their late-90s look was corny, but much more memorable and interesting. I still place the Wolves as a team that doesn't have a "look" that they need to own, they haven't found the perfect thing yet, so I'm fine with them being one of those teams that just rebrands every so often. Not everyone can be the Celtics or the Bulls, as I've mentioned as a hobby-horse of mine before. I think their current logo package would be more than salvageable if the core home/away uniform set didn't miss and if they hadn't forgotten about the green. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I, for one, think that the Wolves had established a look of their own, which is the green tree trim pattern, first and foremost, and that grayish blue and black base colors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
