... so bland, lol

 

At least with the blue jays, we can be proud of their sexy uniforms. This has no creativity whatsoever.

[GD]

The white and black aren't bad, they're just very bland. They're not outright displeasing or anything though. It'll probably be like the angry Jay. Just kinda there.

 

Really like how the new logo looks on wearable stuff though, bought a hoodie.

[dineke]

It's bland and that color scheme is used in 75% of nba teams. Could be any team's jersey. Purple might not be a great color but at least it was recognizable.

[GD]

I find it hard to believe they couldn't have tapped into something more Toronto, especially with Drake on board.

[dineke]

Drake made Toronto into "the 6". Hopefully he becomes irrelevant soon and stops being the spokesman of this city.

[jays_fever]

Still believe they should have brought the purple back. Looked a lot better than the red and black

Yeah f Drake for turning us into one of the most talked about cities in pop culture. How dare he.

Don't care about our status in pop culture unless Kevin Durant or other players sign here because of it. I doubt it though.

[GD]

I bought an Amir Johnson jersey today for $30 so that happened

 

Also Drake has legitimately helped the city so yeah

[dineke]

People keep saying that but in what way?

[GD]

Attention. Would you rather be Milwaukee and never, ever be heard from or New York, who's always in spotlight?

 

The city needs more attention and exposure on a large stage mainly cause those two things are always a positive, but especially because Toronto is a legitimately good city. The ASG is going to help a ton, too. No one is going to sign with the Raptors because we're the 6ix or We The North or the ASG. But these little things add up and give us credibility, and when you combine them with playoff appearances, that's how you really build a franchise beyond the team.

 

We got a meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge. That's what I mean. Now, if we don't sign Durant, it won't be because "we're Toronto," it'll be because he simply had a better offer. Not because we aren't good enough.

[dineke]

I guess it can't hurt.

[Laika]

So KD was at Price's debut today in Toronto, and he's on Drake's side:

 

Kevin Durant

‏@KDTrey5

[GD]

[Laika]

Masai keeping Demar to lure Durant?

[Laika]

Everyone who is between 20 and 35 knows offhand what 50 cent looks like... it's like you, a 12 year old, knowing what Drake looks like.

[burlingtonbandit]

Man he looks like 50 cent

yeah but 50 Cent sucks

[GD]

oh so we're just gonna call every tall black guy 50 Cent now

 

Hasheem Thabeet looks like 50 Cent

[Orgfiller]

50 Cent isn't that tall. Miguel Castro does kind of look like Durant, tall and lanky, similar facial hair.
