After weighing the possibility of a name change, new management for the Toronto Raptors has decided to execute a rebranding effort that keeps the team’s current moniker in place.

The Toronto Star reported Monday that Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) president Tim Leiweke told reporters that the Raptors will remain the Raptors, although the team will undergo a rebranding effort that includes a new color scheme and jerseys. Leiweke made the statement at an NBA news conference announcing that Toronto will host the 2016 All-Star Game.

Oh yes, definitely keep the Raptor's name and just change uniforms.

Some fan suggestions for new names uniforms in the dreaded slideshow format.

If I knew about this I would have sent in Toronto Tropics (though "Gravy Trains" was an interesting suggestion). Thank you WIll Farrell.

Didn't they just recently change from purple to red?

Put a better product on the court and the rest will fall in place.
