As part of their 30th NBA season celebrations, the Toronto Raptors have officially unveiled their new 2024-25 City Edition jersey , honoring one of the most influential players in the team’s history, Vince Carter . This tribute not only marks a nostalgic return of the beloved dinosaur logo but also pays homage to Carter’s unforgettable performance in the 2000 NBA Slam Dunk Contest . A Tribute to “Vinsanity” and Raptors History On November 13, 2024 , the Raptors revealed their latest City Edition jersey at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. The striking black uniform features a red dinosaur in mid-dunk, wearing Carter's iconic purple No. 15 jersey . This design replicates Carter's between-the-legs bounce dunk that helped him secure the title during the legendary 2000 Slam Dunk Contest—an event that cemented his status as one of basketball’s most exciting athletes. This tribute comes at a meaningful time, following Carter’s induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame on October 13, 2024 , and the recent retirement of his No. 15 jersey by the Raptors on November 2, 2024 . These significant moments are part of the franchise’s broader efforts to celebrate its history and honor the athletes who helped shape its legacy. A Special Unveiling with Art and Memories The jersey unveiling event featured a unique sculpture that mirrored the jersey’s design, emphasizing Carter’s contributions to the Raptors and basketball at large. Fans and art enthusiasts gathered to admire this homage, creating a sense of community and shared memories tied to the golden era of “Vinsanity” . Jersey Debut at Scotiabank Arena Fans eager to see the new jersey on the court won’t have to wait long.
