ESPN, NBA.com, TNT, everywhere I look it has our logo as the purple raptor.

I go to the Air Canada Centre and raptors.com and I see nothing but that claw... just wondering if anyone actually knows our real logo. I'd assume it's the claw, but every big American broadcasting company as well as NBA.com has us pitted for the Raptor as our logo (this forum included

).

the forum not so much anymore. after posts you can add the claw icon now to signify the raptors being subject. also the new avatar for team logo on the forum is now the claw too.. which IMO is much better, and purely simple in it's greatness.

always hated the purple raptor. i've noticed american networks still use it, because they are ignorant to everything outside of america. hell even on certain networks, where teams TOR, NOH, LAL etc shortforms are listed, i still always see toronto in purple, as opposed to our actual colours.

it is indeed the claw, you are not mistaken. hopefully changes will be made more thoroughly soon, maybe it;s just not "official" yet.. IDK.

i think we;ve moved past the purple dino stage, and with our new colours, our team got new respect, but i guess it wasn't enough.

hopefully soon tho the other networks will catch up with the times...

Hopefully because it really agitates me when I see NBATV do a standings graphic and I see a purple raptor beside Toronto's ranking.

well recently I've seen the Raptor logo with the purple replaced with red also I hear the logo popular with kids which is why it hasn't been ditched 100%

The Raptor is NOT purple, it's red. [/smartass]

it should be a cool looking raptor head bearing its teeth.
