The Toronto Raptors are indeed the defending NBA champions, but they might be returning to a vintage look for the 2019-2020 season.

A potential “Classic Edition Court” design leaked on Reddit, which would see the Raptors playing on a surface with logos from their initial years in the NBA.

What a clean design. Full marks for the Raptors claws working diagonally into the centre court insignia, the initial dinosaur logo that is often viewed as a hallmark of the franchise.

While the design has yet to be confirmed by the Raptors or the NBA, we really hope this isn’t too good to be true.
