The Toronto Raptors released a potential logo redesign through social media on Friday, which drew a lot of criticism from fans. Many linked the new design to Raptors' "global ambassador" Drake.

There are some similarities between the logo and Drake's OVO brand, so it's easy to see why the connection was made. The Canadian rapper responded to Globe and Mail columnist Cathal Kelly directly on Twitter.

The Drake-inspired Raptors redesign. Could've been worse. Also, could've been a whole lot better. <a href="http://t.co/8wgkTUxZ43">pic.twitter.com/8wgkTUxZ43</a> (h/t <a href="https://twitter.com/_Marc_W">@_Marc_W</a>) —@cathalkelly
