@Andrew-m1v7h idk im saying this as a yotes fan, but it's a pretty respectful gesture for Smith to have the franchise start in a fresh new banner rather than use an already established team like what many other reloacted teams tend to do. I'd rather have that than have them pull a hurricanes and bring back a completely different brand from an entirely different city to faunt at fans who are still wishing for their to come back. It also kind of showcases how weak the canes brand power is compared to the unique and timelessness of the whalers in my opinion which I feel will happen with Utah against the Coyotes brand.
It's wrong to suggest or imply that the Raptors were ever in danger of leaving Toronto like Vancouver. When the Raptors were purchased by Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) who also owned the Toronto Maple Leafs and the new arena the Raptors were to play in they were never in danger of moving or lack of funding. This happened before Carter became a star. VC did have a huge influence on both the growth of basketball in Canada and the popularity of the Raptors But even if Cater never played a game in Toronto the Raptors would still be there. MSLE is/was a mutlbilllion dollar conglomerate that owned the most valuable team in Canada and the NHL along with the new arena and the Raptors and later Toronto FC from MLS
Whatever you did to bring this video (and channel) to my attention, thank you. As a 47 year old, long-suffering Toronto sports fan (2019, 1992, and 1993 notwithstanding), this was a nice look back at my past.
Hey! Thank You for this truly amazing video! Me, born in the 80's and as a 90's child, I remember each and every detail from the mid-90's as it was yesterday! 😊 And the Windows 95 integration just warmed my heart! Miss those times so much and thanks to You, You gave me back so many nice childhood and NBA memories. Huge thanks and keep up the great work! 👍🏻
@@sideline.archive I already did that a week ago, that video was qually fantastic! First I didn't know that you are the author for both of them but today I understood that and right away subscribed to your channel 👌🏻
@@sideline.archive I'm just a huge NBA jersey fan and my UA-cam channel here is dedicated only for the authentic NBA jerseys and their reviews, so the Dino jersey topic in your video was especially close to my heart 😊
I might be a little biased as a Canadian and growing up in Ontario, but I think this jersey is the greatest in sports history, and Vince Carter is the most important player in Raptors history. If I'm getting buried, it's in one of these jerseys! 🇨🇦
Your telling of the story of the Toronto Raptors was brilliant! I love the tongue-in-cheek approach with the days of dial up and Windows 95/98 callbacks. The Raptor may have found it's place, but my wife (who is a die hard Raptors fan) and myself (who enjoys listening to her yell at the TV during games) want the Raptor back!
Sideline! Big fan of your work! You give off Sercet Base energy and I look forward to your new videos, I remember watching the first one a few months back and was hoping it wasn’t just a one off, you got a great channel!
I loved that silly dinosaur logo! I bought one the instant they hit the stores, which was a crapshoot since you had to check up on when it showed up at the store. There will never be another decade of crazy jerseys like the 90s. Plus it was nice to see vintage footage of Damon Stoudamire. The man is a legend here in southern Arizona!
This is so amazing! Cheers and congrats from Latvia. I think I found you with your second video, and everything else has been an unbelievable upgrade! Cheers!
This channel is insanely good mate 🔥 The production values and narrative are such high quality, huge respect ✊ Currently a hidden gem of a channel but I’ve no doubt that this’ll be huge soon - Looking forward to more videos!
Your channel is absolutely awesome. And I imagine there's a lot more videos to come of different sports teams, brand and and all that stuff, but keep up the good work
great video, the purple dino jerseys are right there with the 80s nuggets jerseys as some of my favorite in league history. i think an interesting concept to explore would be the uniforms of the nfl europe teams, and all the ugly patches they were plastered with lol. excited to see what the future of this channel holds, keep up the great work :D
NFL Europe uniforms - excellent point! I’ll have to see what I can dig up for those! I loved the Barcelona Dragons jersey. So gross it’s brilliant. And the Monachs blue and gold eurgh.
Thanks brother - wish the Bulls weren’t so aesthetically dull so we could do a Chicago ep. They’re sort of always the benchmark for a jersey classic. Never changing. Like the Indianapolis Colts haha
@ before they tore down Qualcomm, I bought both my father and i's season ticket seats. I still sit in them at home every Charger game. I had season tickets from 98' to 09' ( Ryan Leaf to Philip Rivers) I was 6 when my father stared taking me to the games. While I hate that they're in LA, I can't shake my team.
@@sideline.archive I do wish they didn't wear them as often as they do. I wish they wore them like how Seattle does with their throwbacks and Tampa Bay as well.
Vince Carter or ESPECIALLY John Bitove Jr. didn't save the franchise. Once MLSE (Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment) purchased the franchise it was NEVER in danger of moving or funding.

Cater did have a huge influence on the popularity of both basketball in Canada and of the Raptors But never, ever! was the franchise in danger of moving like the Grizzlies. This is 10000000% wrong to even suggest this in your video and why people shouldn't trust youtube "historians"😂
He gave the Dino jersey and inaugural era an identity. At no point in the video do I suggest they were in danger of moving. Your third paragraph says it all - that’s what the video is about.

The Arizona Coyotes video on this channel is gonna be sick

I'm not even a coyotes fan but they need to just keep the same jerseys and name, I mean there are plenty of coyotes in Utah come on

Hope you dig the old computer graphics! Appreciate you man thank you 🙏
100% agree!!!!
Beat me to it.
2:30 I'm sure Bill Paxton's (R.I.P.) brother John Paxson would appreciate his recognition as the Bulls player you were trying to reference here.

amazing video as usual !

Love the 90s computer vibe
I’m glad because it took 1000 years to edit it all haha.

At 11:22, the "Golden Era" of jersey design. I'm in my mid-40s and at the time, these jerseys were consider ugly. 🤣
That’s fashion baby. Comes back every 20 years!

Essentially, with all those draft rules, they handicapped their best opportunities to get into Canada.
The Grizzlies never stood a chance tbh.
Pretty sure the 2000 Dunk contest came first before the 2000 Sydney Olympic dunk
It did - struck out swinging there!
Deep dive on Patriots is needed
I want my raptors to bring back the Dino so bad😭even just the purple would be so sick
2:31 Pretty sure its JOHN PAXSON not BILL PAXSON..
