Gear Up with Toronto Raptors Throwback Jersey
The Toronto Raptors might have become champions over the last few seasons, but their debut look in the late 1990s remains one of the NBA’s most iconic looks.
The bright purple and jet black combination really pops, as does the gigantic dribbling dinosaur on the front of their jerseys, their perfectly of its time wordmark across the chest, and their unusual black bar nameplate on the back was just as iconic.
While Toronto’s new red-heavy look is certainly a cleaner uniform, there’s just something about that old-school style that has a unique charm to it.
