Colossal Caniac Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I was thinking about NBA teams that could use a total redesign of their jerseys, and the Raptors came to mind. I actually like their current logo, and the font is pretty cool. Anyway, I returned the team's primary color to purple (but a darker, more majestic shade), and I changed the complementary color from black to champagne. I've paid homage to several Raptors jerseys of the past, most noticeably with the nameplates, pinstripes, and original word mark on the alternate shorts. I obviously didn't put the raptor logo on the jerseys because that would be pretty cluttered, so I used 2 alternates: the circular claw logo, and a maple leaf. I actually spent a lot of time debating whether the waistband should be gold or purple on the home uni, and eventually settled on purple for the sake of contrast. Anyway, hope you guys like it. Feedback is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeb13r Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 The colors don't look bad on the jersey, but on the logo, they make it look washed out. I think if you used a more saturated purple and ditched the baby blue, it would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Sorry, but I don't get this color scheme, and it looks bland. I think the Raps' color scheme is perfect the way it is. There's no reason for them to return to purple - it's not the '90's anymore and they are now the "Canada's team." They did right by embracing red.The other slight problem I see with these is the numbers "in" the claws - what would you do for single-digit numbers?

CAB Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I think if you're going to use purple, then you should pry just go back to the purple/red/black look they had a few years ago. Those were their best unis IMO. I guess it doesn't look bad on the uniforms, but the logo just looks extremely washed out. Too many pale looking colors it seems.

I suppose that could work, but I still think it would look odd. Bargnani wears "7", not "07". And "0" and "00" are considered different numbers - in the event that you have players on the team wearing 0 and 00, this might not work. Sorry if I'm nitpicking, and I do give you creativity points for doing the numbers-in-claw thing, but I feel like there are some minor problems with it.

I didn't think about the problem of players wearing 0 or 00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north dakota Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 It looks like someone poured bleach all over the Raptors logo. Woah! You think I'm Cody? My name is Carl Scott Simone and we just happen to share a birthday. BIG DEAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
