With the recent hiring of Masai Ujiri as the team’s new general manager, the Toronto Raptors have begun the inevitable process of cleaning house. The Raps have already begun firing executives and assistants. The next plausible step may be completely rebranding the team. The Toronto Star—the local daily newspaper—is soliciting the help of its readers in designing a new look for Toronto’s NBA franchise.
