Forget that the draft is the strongest it has been since 2003. Forget that the Raptors will likely finish in the third or fourth position in the East, making the playoffs for the first time since the 2007-08 season. Forget that the East is a laughing stock this year. Forget that the NBA is loaded with marketable superstar talent and has an exciting MVP race between Lebron and Durant.
FORGET ALL THAT!
Only one thing matters this season, and it's THIS!
Let that sink in.
Now breathe.
Just last month I wrote in favour of bringing the purple digs back. There's absolutely no way I played even the slightest role in this happening, but the return of the purps is a win for every Raps fan.
Sure, Toronto will only rock the jerseys for some of the season (only for select home games), but I'll take what I can get.
As a huge fan of 90s basketball style, I propose we take this one step further and have the team wear some of the greatest shoes from that era, namely, The Shaqnosis (Shaqnoses for plural?).
Damn. Purple jerseys with custom black and purple Shaqnosis?
Forget the playoffs, the Raps are striving for something more. The team is striving to cement itself as a Canadian cultural icon. Think about it: the Raptors are bringing back its inaugural jerseys, using Drake as a Global Ambassador and announcing (once a team rep. reads my blog, I'm sure) that the team will rock the custom Shaqnosis shoes.
The Raps are headed in the right direction. Who cares about basketball. This is something bigger.
