Shroinke Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Got this image of a Toronto Raptors team photo from UniWatch while the forum was down.The logo looks like one I reworked last year when they changed uniforms, though I had the R on the jersey in black.Anyone know if they've made any announcements prior to the playoffs, or even this season?

Davey Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Not really a new logo when its just a re-coloured. But they did removed all the purple so I guess that is the "new logo" for their site.On their front page (as for now ) the red background behind the T-Rex is black.So maybe its just the logo for the site, seeing how on NBA Store it's different.

nyk Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Even if this is a new logo, the should still make the claw the primary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braden Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 The claw in the circle is strong enough to be the primary.Not a recolouring of an out-of-date logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new logo (if it is a new logo) won't appear until there's an official announcement. Even when the leaked NHL logos came out, the old ones stayed up until there was an official source to confirm.

josh_cat_eyes Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Wikipidia still has the logo with burple backround .Yeah, but if I wanted I could make it a picture from jurassic park. It means nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 NBA charges a hefty amount for teams to change their primary logo which is why most recolor.I think its really stupid,e specially the teams with recolored 90s logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonz Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Here's another image right from their site. The recolored logo is popping up all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Of course that second image has a black background, the first a red.Frankly, I like it.Not only do I not think the claw logo is strong enough to be a primary, but I think the Jurassic Park logo is a good one. It could be 90s and dated...and it is with purple. But I really like it in these colors.I just plain like it.The claw make work best in most situations...but I still like this as the primary.

The Grizzlies used to as well, and both teams had awesome jerseys. But now both have bland jerseys and not so great logos.The claw is nice, but not any kind of improvement over their current primary. I think the recoloring is awesome and would love to see them keep the dinosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadSeed84 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I think if they changed the toronto part of the logo it would be better, cause "TORONTO" in triangles just screams 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
