The new Toronto Raptors 'City Edition' jersey
Black and gold to pay homage to the Canadian city and the influence of the local community
November 25th, 2019
In NBA the 'City Edition' jersey week has just ended, concerning all the special uniforms made by Nike that the American basketball franchises have just presented and will wear during the long season: among these there is also that of the reigning champions of Toronto Raptors. The 'City Edition' of the Canadian team presents an unprecedented black-gold colorway and an explicit reference to the first years of the birth of the franchise, visible above all from the spikes located in the back, above the space reserved for the name.
The 'City Edition' of the Raptors, which during the 2019/2020 season will also wear another vintage jersey, the remake of the famous 'Dino Jersey', is inspired by the sporting culture and the local community and was unveiled in preview by OVO , the record label of Drake who has been a partner of the team for years and who played a fundamental role during last year's title.
