On that front it's a little like every player on a team wearing the same jersey, it's just nice, uniform and begins to represent something.
At least that's how I feel.

I don't think it's that far of a stretch to say that the blue and white could start to mean something to Toronto as a city"Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.

A lot of people outside of Toronto don't want to cheer for blue and white.
the Raptors are Canada's only basketball team, it's not only Toronto's team and Toronto's colors are blue and white, I think outsiders find it easier to root for a team with Canada's colors.

I hate the idea of making the Raps another blue and white team. Variety is nice. These teams are not one entity and are not dependent on each other for anything. They are separate products in the sports market and should present themselves that way.
I mean, does any major sports city use the same colours for all their teams? I'm having a very hard time thinking of one.

I kind of liked the 2nd generation jerseys right after they ditched the pinstripes but kept the same colours. I don't care if they go back to those colours, but I wouldn't mind a change while staying away from blue and white. No colours they wear can really harm the constant campaign as "Canada's team", except actually blue and white.

Atlanta Hawks, Falcons, Braves
I think the pittsburgh example is one where it works really well."Bruno?

You know it's the off season when a thread like this pops up.
Personally I have no problem with blue. If they want to look like the Leafs/Blue Jays/Argos that's cool with me. Blue and Toronto seem to just go hand in hand. Probably the Leaf's fault but it is what it is.
But I'm too old to buy a jersey anyway.. and its really all about marketing. I think a Raptor jersey looking like a Leaf jersey would sell more than one that looked completely different. So if it was about making money go for blue. If it's about looks than it doesn't really matter as long as it looks different from other teams and it doesn't look too tacky. The black and gold rumours that came out before the season started seemed cool.

Like it or not this franchise is nearly 20 years old, and I agree that purple is more "Raptors" than red. Work with that instead of looking to start from scratch again."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard
