I remember an NBA 2K commercial with him proclaiming that the 2011 Heat were the best team of all time (yes, the team that didn't even win the NBA title). And I remember him using the word "we" to refer to them. What a doucher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliasrappaport Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I don't mind Black and Gold if they added maybe one more color. I'd love a black jersey with purple and gold highlights sorta like the Hollywood Nights Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadojoker Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 100% Drake inspiredAs soon as I saw that bleacher report I knew it was Drake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadojoker Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Sry for double post but I agree black and gold is cool ....as long as they add another color! ! Purple/red violet or Even teal (90's color renaissance..naw) but a 3rd color would work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xist2inspire Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 COUNCIL? WHY are they using council. Combined with ah.. Copperplate. Only on this shirt though...hopefully its not anywhere else.Why would they opt for the old Hornets'/ASG 2008 typeface over the beautiful new custom Pelicans type?Lol. Didn't think I'd see those words typed.Funny....if the Raps go Black/White/Gold, they'll have the color scheme I thought the Nets should've gone with, and if they go Black/Gold/Red, they'll have the color scheme I thought the Pelicans should've gone with. Tradition is the foundation of innovation, and not the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Black and gold? Yeah, that's what Drake as your team's "international ambassador" gets you.It's not all bad. It would be a unique colour scheme in the NBA (the Wizards no longer wear that alternate). And I guess I prefer it to a Team Canada look. Still...it just seems random. The Raptors aren't a new team anymore. Switching to a scheme they have no history with just seems like a bad idea. It'll turn them into the NBA's version of the Vancouver Canucks and San Diego Padres.

Lee Noire Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I don't mind the gold and black combo as it would be unique but I don't know if it's best for the Raptors. The Pelicans? Sold. The Raptors? Can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo96 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 All the Raptors need to do to look great is inject some purple into the identity. Use it as trim only if you must! Darken it even (that might work better). Just do it!How hard can this be to figure out??? Click the Banner - Join the Movement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 When I think of a Raptor ( sports and in general ), black and gold are the last two colours that come too mind. Now if they can pull it off... I'm for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadojoker Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Isnt there a new jurassic park movie aka Jurassic World coming out? Coincidence? Naw. But for what its worth if they went with black and gold (sans red) it isnt too far off from the original inspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eRay Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 If you go to the Raptors YouTube page and Google+ page, they've changed the logo to red/black/gold. Seems to confirm they're at least thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
