  • Raptors Re-Branding: Name Change?

    Leiweke said today raptors will go through a rebranding project. Should they decide to change the name, which many believe will happen because we're named after a movie. What would you like it to be changed to and why?
    Or
    If they don't change the name, how would you like te logo and jerseys changed?

    Toronto Huskies. Have a little tradition. Most people for dont know the first basketball game was played by the Toronto Huskies and New York Knicks. Also bring the blue and white just like every other Toronto team except FC(but who really cares about them?).

      Find a way to incorporate the old colors in new jerseys but without the dinosaur. I'm fine with the teams name

          I should probably take time to think about this first but has any team in the modern era (ie not the St Pats to Maple Leafs) changed their name drastically without moving cities? Supersonics to sonics....not much. Oh wait...Pelicans. There you go. Didn't have to go too far back. Welcome to your Canada Huskies. At least Huskies still have claws. I don't have to rebrand.

            It'll be a golden era for sports headline writers. I look forward to such puns as 'The Syrups stick it to the Knicks,' 'Syrup waffling on draft choices,' 'Opening day tickets selling like hot cakes,' 'Syrup all tapped out,' 'Maple Syrup try to bottle winning formula,' etc.

                I like the name. Raptors are fuckin badass, our claw logo is fuckin badass, why change it just because it's origins are a bit ingenious?

                Wrigley Field is named after a gum company, Lakers are named after the geographical zone surrounding Minnesota and the Jazz play in Utah.

                  I can't see us changing from the Raptors, and not for the Huskies, to me a team that played 1 season in the 40's has no history, it was just a flash in the pan, had a losing season and did nothing of note for the sport.

                  We got rid of the old logo and brought in the claws, things are fine, it is teh marketing that needs a revamp.

                        Just leave it. The team's name is so bad it's good. Plus it totally kills my idea of a raptor tattoo I plan on getting of their old logo but instead of a basketball the raptor will be holding Vince Carter's head.
