The Toronto Raptors have one of the most vibrant logos in the NBA, which perfectly reflects one of the most vibrant cities in the NBA. This is a call for Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment and the Toronto Raptors to leave our logo as is.

On Friday December 19th, the Raptor's unveiled their new logo via social media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUQnl_nnOGs

The logo that was presented is a minimilistic mockup of what our new logo will look like. After monitoring various social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and Instagram) and seeing many fans bringing up similar concerns, we decided to get organized and put this petition forward. We hope that the Toronto Raptors and MLSE reconsider changing our logo.

Some of the concerns brought up:

- Looks too similar to the Brooklyn Nets logo

- It is very bland

- Leave the dinosaur in the logo, it is who we are (similar to Boston Celtics)

- Black and white logos are boring

- The old logo's colors represent Canada perfectly

- Why mess with a good thing?

We understand that the NBA All Star Game is coming to Toronto, for the first time ever, in 2016, and that MLSE wants to make a great impression for our team, as we are on the world stage. However, all that is needed to pull off a successful All Star Weekend of festivities is our passionate fanbase, superb city, and our great team.

We hope that the Raptors keep winning and surging through the Eastern Conference standings. The fans have always been behind this team since its inception. Last year's playoff run illustrated that we have the best fans in the world and that we care deeply about our beloved Raptors. It is us the fans who flock in droves to every home game, and road game, to show our love and support for our team. It is us the fans who have earned the right to get a say in the new logo presented. We hope that our message will get through to management and that collectively our voice will be heard.

Thanks for your time.

Win or Lose,

Passionate Raptors Fan.
