There's little reason to doubt the authenticity of the leaks based on the unique style, plus the Nike and NBA patches on each.
There's a wide variety in color and fresh looks across the 30 leaked jerseys. Still, while fans on social media were satisfied with some designs, they took issue with others. Best and worst of rumored City Connect jerseys Assuming the City Connect jersey leaks are legit, let's take a look at some of the best new styles fans were chatting about — and some of the worst.
The best One of the favorites seems to be the Raptors' potential new jersey, which features an all-black look with the retro-looking dinosaur logo that Toronto has used in past uniform designs. The dinosaur is also wearing No. 15 and is in the middle of a between-the-legs dunk, a tribute to Vince Carter's Raptors days, which heavily influenced the culture around the franchise.

That continued in the 2024-25 season, as they'll likely debut purple "The Valley" jerseys with an orange star in the middle. Phoenix Suns pic.twitter.
