Raptors News: Team was just sold, Woj defused, awesome new uniforms leaked
Raptors City Uniforms Leaked
Each NBA team will have a custom "City" Edition uniform this season, and while the league usually likes to do a big reveal, it appears that all 30 uniforms were leaked on social media.
That's a bonus for Raptors fans, who get to glory in one of the most amazing jerseys ever conceived: the old Velociraptor mascot doing a Vince Carter dunk.
This was what I had heard a few weeks back as well and seems to confirm some of the celebratory stuff the Raptors will be doing.

The Raptors have had some up-and-down jersey designs over the years. The combination of an entire nation's iconography plus the dinosaur motif opens up a lot of options for them; some have been hits, and others misses.
This one is undeniably a hit, bypassing "cutesy" and landing fully on the "awesome" target. The sight of Scottie Barnes or RJ Barrett wearing a dunking Velociraptor while dunking will be exquisite showmanship.
These jerseys are likely to be used during the NBA Cup (formerly the In-Season Tournament) which means at least six appearances for these jerseys. Those games start in November.
