Drake is the biggest celebrity supporter of the Toronto Raptors, who recently revealed their new logo. Many are saying that he doesn’t like their logo. Hit the jump for details.
Via Complex Sports:
One day later, Drake reached out to Kelly, saying, “Actually this redesign was executed without me. My collaboration with [clothier] Mitchell & Ness comes out next season.” Kelly adds that, according to sources within Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, the company which owns the Raptors, Drake isn’t happy with two things in particular.
First, the “execution.” By that, he apparently means the way in which the images were released. They were first shown briefly in a video released on Friday afternoon. That was quickly followed by a colour image posted to the team’s Facebook page. That was hastily pulled down, replaced by a black-and-white image. Then, much later in the day, a variety of logos were released, in varying colour schemes.
Kelly goes to claim that Drake is even more upset with the color scheme, which he had wanted in black and gold. “He wasn’t overruled,” said an MLSE source. “Overruled isn’t the right word, because it’s not like he had the final say.” As global ambassador, Drizzy gets nothing in return other than his own section in the ACC. So, maybe this should’ve been expected when dealing with those individuals in the Raptors’ front office. Or, could this be a turning point in what has been a budding relationship?
