That re-coloured Nets throwback isn't a bad idea. Probably one of the better new jerseys to come along this offseason, though the Hornets' new uniforms are still my favourite.

No surprise to see yet another sleeved jersey.

looks like they finally got their wish of abandoning the dinosaur. however, it's turned their logo into a plain-looking logo that basically looks like a generic center court design

It's a bit plain, but it's alright. A bit too similar to Brooklyn's logo, if anything.

Am I to take it that there's regret over the "Raptors" moniker, given that they're phasing out the dinosaur? I mean, I realise it's kind of a throwback to the mid-90s, when the first Jurassic Park was a big thing and dinosaurs were more prominent in pop culture, which in retrospect may not have been the best influence for a new expansion team that was entering the league in a couple of year's time. Still, they are the Raptors, so it's not like a dinosaur logo or mascot is out of place.

They should also consider changing their team name. Huskies would be nice.

Yeah, cause that's very intimidating

Re: New logos, designs, etc.

lol. That's their old team name btw.

Re: New logos, designs, etc.

Not exactly. They don't officially trace their lineage back to the Toronto Huskies, though they have worn Huskies throwbacks in honour of them. It's the same as the Miami Heat and the Floridians of the NBA; they're not the same franchise, but they've sort of adopted the jerseys of those defunct teams as part of their heritage, or at least pay homage to them as unaffiliated predecessors.

For what it's worth:

Wikipedia wrote:The Toronto Raptors were established on November 4, 1993, when the NBA, as part of its expansion into Canada, awarded its 28th franchise to a group headed by Toronto businessman John Bitove for a then-record expansion fee of $125 million US.[2] Bitove and Allan Slaight of Slaight Communications each owned 44%, with the Bank of Nova Scotia (10%), David Peterson (1%), and Phil Granovsky (1%) being minority partners.[3][4] The Raptors, along with the Vancouver Grizzlies, played their first game in 1995, and were the first NBA teams based in Canada since the 1946–47 Toronto Huskies,[2] though the Buffalo Braves had played a total of 16 regular season games at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto from 1971–75.[5]

Initial sentiment was in favour of reviving the Huskies nickname, but team management realized it would be nearly impossible to design a logo that did not substantially resemble that of the Minnesota Timberwolves.[6]

I don't often care about these sorts of things, but I think the new Raptors' logo looks really good, court looks nice too.
