Two months ago, Maple Leaf Sports and Enterainment CEO,Tim Leiweke, said that theRaptors were considering a name or uniform change. Fans went wild with speculation! The Toronto Star held a contest where fans could submit name or uniform ideas. 150 submissions were narrowed down to the top five and were presented to a panel including fashion designer Christopher Bates and Raptor Amir Johnson. They both favored this design:
The design was created by Matthew Stasyna, an artist and Raptors fan. Amir calls it “masculine,” and Christopher enjoyed the incorporation of the maple leaf, saying that it was “intentional, it was brilliant.”
