    Default Websites can't agree on Raptors official Logo. What is it anyway?!

    Lets change it up from the Constant Rudy Gay talk;

    So after being on ESPN and seeing them using the old Purple, Black and Red Logo with the Dino on it:

    (which actually got me a little ticked)

    Or on NBA.com, where they use the similar, but different logo, with the updated Colours:



    I couldn't help but think to myself, not only do those Original Style logos not appear ANYWHERE actually related to the Raps anymore, but didn't the organization get rid of it all together a few years back??
    I thought they made the switch to:
    ,
    as evidenced by it being ALL OVER their website and the Court they play on.

    Or do the Raptors just have WAY too many Logos to begin with?

    I like the logo versatility. I'm pretty sure the ESPN purple one is out of date, but then again it's ESPN, so the fact that they even have the Raptors on there is a step in the right direction.

    I prefer the last logo

    this is why we need to be the huskies.
    When I die, I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa. Not screaming like the passengers in his car.

    Omg. The dino logo is so old specially the purple one.

    The Raps official logo imo is the last one.

    The Raps official logo is the middle one, switched from the 1st one (the original) because Raps dont have purple in the colors anymore, the last one is easier to produce on anything promotional.

    Every team has 2 logos the full logo pic #2 and the little circle logo pic #3

    I like the history behind the huskies, seeing as they were involved in the first nba contest that took place (against the knicks).

    but yeah, who cares, I doubt it would make a difference to entice players to come here, and yeah it won't make the team better.

    I've even seen the red Dino but instead of the R on its jersey there's the claw. That's pretty awesome.

    You'd think that even when Amir Johnson shaved the Raptors logo into the back of his head that the media would take notice.
