I dunno what you're talking about but red and black are GREAT together:

These jerseys are just lame because all they did was flip the side colour with the main colour. They look okay, but c'mon, give us another design!

My first reaction was "these could have been way better," but honestly it's hard to judge a jersey until you actually see it being worn, so I'll reserve my judgment for now. Also, these are swingman jerseys, which inherently look ****.

That leaf ruins it. Absolutely kills it. Why isolate yourselves from the other NBA teams even more? As if nobody knew Toronto was in Canada.

How can you dislike a Canadian Maple Leaf being on it?

And when exactly did red and black not go together?

You are all a bunch of girls who hate your country. Fashionista's who are ashamed to be from Canada and remind the American's that we're different. Boo to all of you.

Red and black goes together, but not this shade of red.

I didn't say i didn't like it or didn't prefer it over the red jersey.

(I knew i should've kept the Canada is **** comments to myself)

I love Canada, its a great place to live, beautiful women, great nightlife!

Well wrong place to mention your disdain for Canada. Not sure if you realized but the Raptors are a Canadian team, if you don't like Canada, feel free to get out of it.

I LOVE it. I'll admit I was a little worried about the whole "TOR" Idea, and I really really disliked that TOR photoshop one. But this is perfect. Exactly what I figured they would do with a black jersey.

Can't wait to pick one of these up

p.s. lmao @ "red and black don't go together"

BS, even people in Spain support the Raptors, are they not allowed to if they dislike Canada?

I would get outta here if my job doesn't prevent me from doin so..

Back on topic please....

I don't think they're bad for a third jersey. I mean we weren't expecting something out of this world so it's decent, and at least it isn't tacky.

I think the maple leaf is a great addition to the jersey. I was sad when they got rid of it from the Jays logo but it's good that they're on these jerseys.

I can't really tell through the pictures though, is the text silver or white? looks white on the back but on the front it almost looks the same colour as the chevrons

I think its fine... will have a better opinion when I see it first hand.

Although I as well was hoping for the one like in the pic of CB where black is by far the most dominant colour.
