Several NBA teams are modifying their uniforms and adding alternate jerseys next season.
The Toronto Raptors have reportedly agreed to allow its players to wear a uniform inspired by the team’s ambassador, Drake.
ESPN published an article yesterday (May 13) revealing that the adidas catalog for the 2015-16 season surfaced on a sports forum.
The Drake October’s Very Own-inspired uniforms are predominately black and include gold trims along both the jersey and shorts. Raptors fans can expect to see the team wear the black and gold colorway between up to 18 times during next season.

It is as follows:
Gold trim… big deal, so what!? There ain’t much difference between the raptors alternate jersey and the so called Drake inspired alternate jersey, lol. Pointless bullshit!
Because his OvO clothing is black and gold.
If only a more artistically sound MC was being honored in this way
