    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Canoe - According to a Raptors insider, the Raptors are removing the purple from their color scheme in order to give the team a more "Canadian" look.

    The Raptors officially will unveil the new uniforms later this month.

    The home uniforms will switch from white and purple to white with red trim, while the road uniforms will no longer be black and purple, but predominately red. </div>

    Full story

    i know im happy about this [​IMG]

    hopefully we get the all black with white numbers/letters and red trim as our alternates

    NOO.. not another team with red jerseys. Too many teams are changing colors. The Cavs, Rockets, Jazz, Nuggets, and now the Raptors are going to make me sick of seeing red and blue.

    I do agree that the red lacks in uniqueness, but red and white are the national colours, so I don't really see the change as trying to imitate the other teams even though there are a lot of teams with red coloured jerseys.

    Well...we're not changing colors...we're just getting rid of one [​IMG]

    I'd prefer it if we had the Rockets color scheme (fits well with the whole Canadian theme).

    WHOA? Raptors are training at UW? HOLLER. And this isn't exactly a well kept secret. I think they are making a mistake though, their branding(logo, court, colours, jerseys) were on point. They should have done a complete overhaul and still kept purple as an accent.

    I know the team has had red, i'm not stupid. I was stating that those teams have changed their primary colors to either red or blue, and the variety is starting to fade away.

    man, I totally want to bring back our original jerseys. Those things rock!

    I guess the red thing is fitting, but just doesn't seem as distinct.

    Oh, thought you might of been. Purple+Red just don't goto together anymore for the Raps anyways. We've been in the process of changing color to Red slowly over the past couple of seasons (New jersey, new court).
