The Toronto Star reports "The hip-hop star will also launch a
clothing
line in conjunction with the team. Most intriguingly, he is being asked
to consult on a complete redesign of the club’s image to coincide with
the 20th anniversary of the franchise in the 2014-15 season.
According to sources at MLSE, everything about the team is on the
table . . . aside from the name. Give up your Huskies dreams. MLSE
and Drake are sticking with dinosaurs.
Going forward, this will be more than a business arrangement. It
would be wrong to call what comes next a renaissance. That would
imply that the Raptors have a legacy to build on. After 18 years, all
they have is one playoff series win and Vinsanity to draw from. That’s
it.
It’s within Drake’s power to change that.
The template is the Brooklyn Nets.
A terrible franchise marooned in a city no one in the NBA wanted to
go to. It was the sort of team good players left. This will sound
familiar to you."
