uniguy22 Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Why does Toronto have basketball in the first place? Toronto is a fricken' hockey city.Are you serious? Cities can't have more than one pro franchise? The Raptors have always had great attendance, and their fan base is very passionate about the team.

The Nation Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Well... does the University of Toronto have a palentology department? Yea, it's a reach, but still...Well.... you can major in Paleontology... http://www.utm.utoronto.ca/regcal/WEBGROUP63.html...then again, there is the Royal Ontario Museum which as a collection of dinosaurs http://www.rom.on.ca/dinos/Hey, that's my Campus!!! Woohoo, finally some notice, after St.George steals all the limelight.Why does Toronto have basketball in the first place? Toronto is a fricken' hockey city.Ummm, cause we have an average percentage sold attendance of 97.1%, higher than Phoenix, Portland, Denver, Washington and New Orleans. And just slightly lower than the Lakers! 8th in Average Attendance. Enough Said! Attendance SourceI don't see anything connecting Toronto and a dinosaur species.Oh yes -- Toronto and its own city council.. I would think a black alternate would look pretty cool. I hate ADDING black to a team colour, "just kuz," but have no problem when franchises take advantage of it when its part of the colour scene to begin with...Which is why I'm not against seeing this. I'm all for black uniforms, as long as it makes sense and is in the color scheme, and isn't just there to be there (i.e. Florida with their unreleased black alt, Duke with those hideous black unis, etc.)I agree 100%, we have black in the colour scheme, so we might as well use it. And the Red&Black is a huge hit in Toronto, much more popular than the Barneyesque Purple, Red & Black. These jerseys should be a big hit in the sales department. Now all we have to do is eliminate that butt stripe that goes on the shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I agree about the colors. It's going to be interesting to see how much black this is, seeing as the writer made it sound like ALL black. I'd say that silver is a more prominent part of their color scheme than black, and I would like to see the silver alternate to justify that.

TheGodfather Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Dang, I really like the raptor logo they have.I wish they would use it more often.I hate this whole modern means plain and subdued look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eye Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Why does Toronto have basketball in the first place? Toronto is a fricken' hockey city.How is your anal probe?Why does Toronto have basketball in the first place? Toronto is a fricken' hockey city.Ummm, cause we have an average percentage sold attendance of 97.1%, higher than Phoenix, Portland, Denver, Washington and New Orleans. And just slightly lower than the Lakers! 8th in Average Attendance. Enough Said! Attendance SourceI didn't know Orlando was that high. Or even Miami since they have struggled this season. Dang, I thought Indiana would be much higher considering the popularity of b-ball in that area. At #25, I thought New Jersey would be even lower. That arena is just so friggin' empty all the time (not that it wasn't when the Devils played there too...)Black alts for the Raptors? I don't really like black jerseys all that much unless it is complemented by other good colors (LA Kings, Phoenix Suns 90's "rising sun" = good. Baltimore Ravens, New York Mets = bad.) Hopefully since black is in the Raptors' color scheme, they will have something other than another trendy, black uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeone Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I think they should just take the Washington Wizards approach and do something completely off the board like wearing black shorts with their red jerseys. I'm not really an all-black uniform fan either. They wreak of boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Why does Toronto have basketball in the first place? Toronto is a fricken' hockey city.and ... why does Pittsburgh have hockey in the first place? It's a fricken' football cityHalf right......this place, Pittsburgh, is more like a drinking town with a football problem. *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...

BroadwayBlueshirt Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 From the department of lame, Hawks-esque recolorings that don't warrant their own thread.Meh, at least it'd be the right colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linix129 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I tried making a black uniform concept for them, but i just couldn't see how it would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember, but I like proof of old uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Argos practice there too, and it's rather interesting seeing the media trucks there, and seeing Jim Lang doing his segment, really cool. The argos walk around the campus all the time, they work out in the same gym as the students, and on occasion you can see them in the Pita Pit or Mr. Sub lineups (always eating healthy). I remember this one time, I was entering the gym to workout, and I see this one guy walking out with huge biceps, and I'm like man...this student is jacked. I looked up and it's John Avery.
