The new Toronto Raptors logo has received some scrutiny, due to the fact that it really is similar to the Brooklyn Nets logo.
It has also been said that the Toronto Raptors logo is too much like the OVO colors, and fans don’t like that. Fans are also uncomfortable with the fact that it looks like the Brooklyn Nets logo, a team they lost to in the first round of the NBA playoffs last year.
Now drake has spoken out about the new logo.
The Drake-inspired Raptors redesign. Could’ve been worse. Also, could’ve been a whole lot better. pic.twitter.com/8wgkTUxZ43 (h/t @_Marc_W)

@cathalkelly Actually this redesign was executed without me. My collaboration with Mitchell & Ness comes out next season. — Drizzy (@Drake) December 20, 2014
A MLSE Source told the Globe & Mail:
He wasn’t overruled. Overruled isn’t the right word, because it’s not like he had the final say
Supposedly, Drake wanted the OVO gold and black colours to be the main colour scheme for the Toronto Raptors starting next year, but The Toronto Raptors thought otherwise. May be there are some problems occurring North of the Border with management?
