PHOTO: Raptors go all purple everything on throwback night
It's throwback night in Toronto on Friday, as the franchise has turned Air Canada Centre into a sea of purple to celebrate.
What's most noticeable is the purple jerseys the Raptors are wearing, one of their earliest uniform iterations. With a couple silver vertical stripes and a cartoonish dinosaur on the front, they're really only a tweak or two from being a totally usable jersey.
It's certainly caught the attention and affection of those watching live and at home.

The Raptors have left no stone uncolored, with the scoreboard at the ACC, the team's social media accounts and the stat display on the broadcast also purple.
