The Toronto Raptors unveiled a new yet classic look Thursday night at Scotiabank Arena when they debuted their City Edition court for a matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Highlighted by the return of the dinosaur Raptors logo at mid-court—which is wearing a No. 15 jersey, by the way, to honor Vince Carter—the hardwood also features purple wood inside the perimeter and white triangles along the six-foot radius outside the free-throw line.
In other words, it's a work of art.
