Raptors Will Honor Toronto Huskies for Saturday Night's Game vs. Knicks

The Toronto Raptors will honor their heritage by transforming into the Toronto Huskies for Saturday night's game versus the New York Knicks.

Seventy years after the Huskies and Knicks played the first Basketball Association of America game, fans in attendance will receive a T-shirt with the Huskies logo.

The team's Twitter account, which changed its name to Toronto Huskies, captured a special court design at the Air Canada Centre to commemorate the occasion:

"

— Toronto Huskies (@Raptors) November 12, 2016"

Here's a look at the red-hot DeMar DeRozan's jersey turning blue:

The Huskies debuted with a 68-66 loss to the Knicks, so they will seek revenge seven decades later.
