The Toronto Raptors will be sporting a different look for the 2020-21 season.
Toronto will reportedly replace its current uniforms and primary logo following the remainder of the 2019-20 campaign, according to Chris Creamer of SportsLogos.net.
The Raptors likely will adopt a chevron-style design for their primary jersey, Creamer adds, and it could be similar to the "Earned" uniform worn by the club during its championship run last year.
Toronto has used its current jersey set for the past five seasons, but the franchise is no stranger to the chevron design as it appeared on uniforms from 1999-2000.
It's no surprise the Raptors are deciding to do a little rebranding amid the coronavirus pandemic. With the NBA currently suspended and revenue down, jersey sales could help bring back some money for the following season.
Fans have even put in their own input on the new design, and some would like to see the Raptors bring back the iconic dinosaur logo.

This is awesome news. Fun fact with the chevron pattern:

If you put "Raptors" in the chevron pattern, the letter at the top of the arrow (i.e. middle letter) is the "T" for Toronto.
If you put "Toronto" in the chevron, "O" the letter at the top of the arrow for Ontario.
