Drake has unveiled a new Raptors-themed clothing line and he’s opted for an old-school look.
The Toronto-born rapper and “global ambassador” for the NBA team posted a Tweet on Thursday afternoon with a link to the new clothing collection, which went on sale online on Friday at 10 a.m.

The merchandise includes black and gold T-shirts, hoodies and snapback hats. Some have the classic Raptors logo – a ferocious red and purple dinosaur -- but none appear to have the new logo introduced late last month, which is a basketball with claw marks.
Drake distanced himself from the new logo in December.
“Actually this redesign was executed without me,” he Tweeted in response to a sports columnist who suggested Drake was behind the design.
Here are some photos of the new clothing, which will also be sold at Real Sports in the Air Canada Centre.
