The Toronto Raptors are really enjoying the recent success they've got.
Last season was a breakout for their 21-year franchise. They made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals and were able to host the All-Star Weekend for the first time.
They also had new marketing campaigns with the launch of the slogan “We The North” and the involvement of rapper, Drake.
This off-season, it has been relatively quiet for the Raptors with for the signing of star shooting guard DeMar DeRozan and the addition of Jared Sullinger as the only moves they made. But make no mistake about it, as these are really solid ones which make all signs point to the direction of them attempting to compete even more with the hopes of making it to the NBA finals, if not, win it all.
On Monday, the Raptors released a teaser video on their official Twitter account. By the looks of it, they will be bringing back the “Huskies” jersey once again. On the 15-second clip, they warned that “worlds will collide” and they will “unleash” the franchise's past.

It can be recalled that the last time the team wore these was back in the 2009-2010 season, during DeRozan's rookie campaign. The jerseys were to pay homage to the 1946-1947 Toronto Huskies who hosted the first NBA (which was still called the BAA) game in history.
They are set to unveil the alternate jerseys Tuesday.
