Raptors' Cryptic Post Has NBA Fans Dreaming of Throwback Jerseys for 30th Anniversary

The Toronto Raptors are being cryptic.

The 2024-25 campaign will mark the franchise's 30th season, and the team had quite the head-turning post on social media on Wednesday:

Considering it came shortly after the announcement for the team's NBA Cup schedule included part of a throwback purple jersey, it had fans wondering about the color making a triumphant return in the 30th season:

The Raptors started in the 1995-96 season with a jersey that included plenty of purple and a cartoon dinosaur.

While they have largely moved away from the cartoon dinosaur on the jersey despite the mascot, it's still one of the most memorable looks in the NBA in recent history.

If nothing else, the possibility of the dinosaur and purple making a comeback in 2024-25 is quite a way to generate excitement for the new season.

Toronto is coming off a 25-57 campaign and has won just one playoff series since taking home the championship during the 2018-19 season. Turning back the clock and remembering the days of Vince Carter and Co. isn't the worst way to have fans excited about what's to come.

For now, though, they are left to speculate following a cryptic post.
