Raptors bringing back purple 'Dino' jerseys in 2014-15
Few NBA jerseys are as polarizing as the purple "Dino" jerseys that the Toronto Raptors wore in the first seasons of their existence.
A strong contingent of the Raptors' fan base, particularly among those who grew up watching the team in the 1990s, believes they're one of the greatest uniforms we've ever seen in the NBA. Then there are the haters, who believe an NBA jersey is no place for a basketball-dribbling dinosaur and grey pinstripes.
But for now, it doesn't matter what you think, because the Raptors are bringing back the purple "Dino" jerseys for their 20th season whether you like it or not.
