The sleek new uniforms come as part of the NBA’s “City Edition” release, an annual tradition that sees a fun and flashy design added to every team’s jersey rotation.
The jersey includes the vintage Raptor logo, famously used as the centrepiece of the franchise’s very first uniforms, with the player’s number hanging to the top right and the team name flashing above in a primitive-style font. The black and gold colourway, popularized by Toronto-born rapper Drake and his OVO brand, returns in celebration of the team’s association with the superstar artist.

Raptors - how can you not love the dinosaur, plus black and gold is an elite colourway
Timberwolves - reminds me of the KG era
Warriors - the lightning bolts on the sides are dope https://t.co/pNoNAwxRHB— Mo Mooncey (@TheHoopGenius) November 1, 2021
