i dont think the raptors jerseys are bad at all. there are a couple other teams that should get new jerseys before the raptors.

charlottes are very ugly
milwaukee could get a better look, whatever happened to that cool green jersey with the buck on it?
clippers have to get new uniforms, this is a new era for them.
This sig was too offensive for the kids.

W00t, sw33t. It' not like I really care, but I actually like their current red ones. Their logo is more in need of a change. Raptors? A dinosaur? So 90's.

I think the new Raptors midcourt logo should be a claw ripping into something actually. I dont mind the the home whites and red ones, but they should get rid of the purple and black now alternate ones.

On a side note, I hate that guy thats reporting the news, Doug Smith. Seems like he doesnt want the Raptors to succeed with some of his articles (dont ask me for them, no links), i remember when we got Bryan Colangelo, he wrote it as we "settled" for him, making it seem like we had a better choice but we chose a more inferior Colangelo.

In NBA Live I always liked the Raptors jerseys. It's better than teams like Cleveland which just have their name written across and nothing else to go with it.

I love those old pin-strip jerseys. I really like both of em. The one I don't like is the red one, but it's my opinion. I really want to see a new jersey next year, really want to see what it'll look like.

All black... wouldn't mind having it replace the all red alt.

The pin-stripes are ridiculously terrible. You would have thought they asked 6 year olds to design their jerseys.

i think the sonics need to go back to their late 90's jerseys, those were SWEET, or at least wear one as an alternate...

i liked these milwaukee bucks jerseys.

i hope they go with a retro look rather then the new age look. Bobcats jerseys look horrible, and the minnesota vikings ruined their jerseys with this new age shit.

I think the Raps' red ones are a good replacement for the purps. I think they're just getting new alternates

Milwaukee should go old-school green with the new ones, even though I'm sick of all the new retro-style designs with just the team name across the front. They're too boring... bring back the jerseys with full logos on them!

I have to admit I actually liked the original Raptors' jerseys but then again I have a weird appreciation for the unique designs of the mid-90s. I know a lot of people look at them as being cartoonish but I kind of prefer that to some of the blander jerseys that end up looking too similar these days...especially for the teams that have similar colour schemes.

I'm a fan of the pin-striped ones, as well. Something different.

I actually really like their current ones, too. Yes, even the purple. :oops:

Good news man.
Anything but purple.

Hopefully.
The one they have are too old school. Haha.
