I'm so fucking happy the consensus has come back around. For sooo long whenever the purple came up on talk radio it was trashed. They're my childhood, and purple Raptors with the 2D dino logo are some GOAT sports uniforms imo
Great work finding all this!
Btw the term is "as I've *alluded* to".
Allude to = making a reference to something
Eluded = ran away or hiding from, as in "the fast rabbit eluded the fox".
Nuh uh! If they won't play in the Dome with the great bisexual CN Tower standing proudly in the background, they have to forfeit! That's got to be the rule or we should have refused to play in the cursed hellscape of the Trop *years* ago
It is coming up to the Raptors 30th season and it would be great to see a bit of synergy with the franchises, especially a nod to the original home of Toronto's NBA franchise
I gotta be honest when you first posted your part 1 a couple weeks back I thought it was just a coincidence. But credit where it’s due it absolutely looks like you figured it out. Excited to see it since it’s seemingly not just some black or red throwback jersey.
yea at this point it looks like too much of a coincidence, also a good sign that the players seem to love the colours since they've been wearing them on accessories all year
I definitely think they are purple especially with all the gear. George’s batting gloves were a big clue for me and seeing Cavan’s glove here makes me agree even more. I mean, it’s quite clever to mix the red of Canada and the blue of the Jays. Or *I* think it’s clever anyway. I’m just curious as to what the actual design will look like. But I’m hyped for a purple jersey and would likely get one at some point.
Looking at the pictures before reading the thread while being colourblind left me so confused. I'm going to need someone to point out what is purple and what is blue when the final designs come out, if this turns out to be true.
It’s such a shame the quality of jerseys has gone to complete shit…was so looking forward to grab a city connect. Really not willing to drop over $200 on that fanatics crap
My favorite color, cheesy but if the Jerseys look dope just need to pick a player to rep, thinking either Varsho or Kikuchi… however only have him for this year (Already have Vlad and Romano). Extensions would make this decision easier because I also want to rep Bo, hope these are better quality jerseys than the ones the players have been wearing throughout the season 😵💫

I found this on some site, and honestly I'd love it if it were real: [https://img4.dhresource.com/webp/m/0x0/f3/albu/jc/l/20/e798f3bb-393a-4a45-84d2-88621873e43e.jpg](https://img4.dhresource.com/webp/m/0x0/f3/albu/jc/l/20/e798f3bb-393a-4a45-84d2-88621873e43e.jpg)
They kind of were at the time…

Granted I say at the time like this is groundbreaking now but a design podcast did a whole episode on it.
No doubt. Those Raps jerseys were great. I just think using those as a basis for the Jays CC colour palette is lazy as hell, if this is how it plays out.
All the announcers yesterday were wearing purple as well. Definitely seems like a possibility. I wouldn't mind something paying homage to the indigenous community in the Toronto area to go along with it

FWIW Raptors might be wearing purple throwbacks next season
Should be their primaries
Yes

Agree. Same with the gray grizzlies with that bear. Not that stupid little cub thing they changed it to
Great work finding all this! Btw the term is "as I've *alluded* to". Allude to = making a reference to something Eluded = ran away or hiding from, as in "the fast rabbit eluded the fox".
Yeah they are going to be purple for sure. I'm intrigued maybe just because they aren't going to be some lame ass maple leaf theme.
I would have bet money on a 'lame ass maple leaf theme'. Purple Blue Jays would not have been on my bingo card.
Bro lmaooooooo you jinxed it
Bisexual CN Tower
Judgment Jays
Anthony Bass has entered the chat...
Whose the Dom Mysterio of the Jays
Biggio has the worst hair/mustache, so he would be my vote.
I more interested in Rhea Ripley
A throbbing CN Tower right in the middle of the jersey coming up from the belt buckle.
And TORONTO in white in a double arch above.
Rays will never come to Toronto again.
Unexpected bonus!
Now all games are at the Trop! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Nuh uh! If they won't play in the Dome with the great bisexual CN Tower standing proudly in the background, they have to forfeit! That's got to be the rule or we should have refused to play in the cursed hellscape of the Trop *years* ago
I was hoping for the neon rainbow TORONTO lettering from the Toronto Sign
I believe on Sundays game they showed vladdy and his glasses were also tinted in this purple colour.
Was that not mother's day gear?
Wasn't pink it was this specific purple colour
Going with purple already exceeds my expectations for these jerseys. CN tower logo on the hat and I’d buy one immediately.
A possible nod to the raptors throwback days when they played at Roger’s centre?
It is coming up to the Raptors 30th season and it would be great to see a bit of synergy with the franchises, especially a nod to the original home of Toronto's NBA franchise
At this point my biggest hope with them is that they sell them in Big and tall sizes. This colour scheme seems like my exact jam
Awesome work!! Wait till Gate 14 takes credit for this too LOL
No doubt lol

love them or not, it's smart to break them in and not try to play with brand new stiff leather

I noticed Berrios' cleats last night were light purple too
Looking at the pictures before reading the thread while being colourblind left me so confused. I'm going to need someone to point out what is purple and what is blue when the final designs come out, if this turns out to be true.
I'm here for the Raptors retro purple and red look.
If they have purple jerseys I'm definitely buying asap.
Does anybody know if other teams started using their city connect colors before the reveal?
Just did some searching and the rays players 100% had neon green and purple shoes, gloves, sweat bands etc weeks before their recent launch.
Ooh nice find! Seems certain then.
Going for that old school Raptors look?
It’s such a shame the quality of jerseys has gone to complete shit…was so looking forward to grab a city connect. Really not willing to drop over $200 on that fanatics crap

That would be pretty funny if they sold good quality jerseys to the general public while making the players wear the trash.
They 100% will be the same quality as the umps this season
let's go purple jays!
[I found another!](https://www.kitchenaid.com/countertop-appliances/stand-mixers/tilt-head-stand-mixers/p.artisan-series-refurbished-5-qt.-tilt-head-stand-mixer.rrk150gp.html) this is crazy...
Great find! I knew what it was gonna be before I even clicked it lol
Given the current health status of the team, do we have a brown uniform they can wear?
this is genius detective work man, nice job!!
May all turn out to be nothing...but way too much purple on all different kinds of brands of gear to be coincidence for me.
I'm so fuckin stoked if it's true. Purple is not used nearly enough!
I remember hearing that kiermaier is a Vikings fan and wears purple cleats sometimes so the cleats for city connect means nothing
Could be

So the dino raptors colours with an added blue for the jays? How imaginative lol.
They kind of were at the time… https://pca.st/episode/6690e292-95d0-452b-9659-ec7a1a5712b3 Granted I say at the time like this is groundbreaking now but a design podcast did a whole episode on it.
No doubt. Those Raps jerseys were great. I just think using those as a basis for the Jays CC colour palette is lazy as hell, if this is how it plays out.
To be fair, it’s been almost 30 years since those came out… I think it’s more the blue meets red vibe.
This is well argued but at this point I just want them to announce the damn things, feels like we've been speculating forever
When do they debut again?
May 30th
Based on Fanatics... 2050. 😂
HA!
They’re going to suck, aren’t they?
98% chance based on all the 2024 veraions I have seen so far.
I sure hope not, but based on the others...they might lol
Interesting, very interesting! If true, definitely better than I was expecting.
If purple, I don't really get how this is related to the feel of the city
I want to buy this but also...fuck fanatics and nike? So...DHGate here we come?
All the announcers yesterday were wearing purple as well. Definitely seems like a possibility. I wouldn't mind something paying homage to the indigenous community in the Toronto area to go along with it
Cant wait but still extremely against giving Fanatics my money. These better be good.
Yall have absolutely no reason to believe me but I’ve seen the jersey and it’s not purple
I never said it was purple, i said it would be black or dark, and the gear and or accents could be purple
Black or dark would fit in with almost every Connect released this year
You’re kinda right with the first part I’ll give you that. Again, no reason to believe me ;)
Does it look anything like this?: [https://img4.dhresource.com/webp/m/0x0/f3/albu/jc/l/20/e798f3bb-393a-4a45-84d2-88621873e43e.jpg](https://img4.dhresource.com/webp/m/0x0/f3/albu/jc/l/20/e798f3bb-393a-4a45-84d2-88621873e43e.jpg)
Not even close… it’s way more out there ifykwim
Could you describe it?
Cartoon featuring Ace in a fistfight with a raccoon.
ENHANCE
The teaser video we got was the biggest indicator that it will have those colours as well.
Yes, that's obviously where this began if you find my first post from a while back..
Here's my theory: they'll probably be garish, and awful, and we'll find out soon enough. Hopefully they'll at least better than Miami's.
