905s lunar new year jerseys are straight fire.

I am going to try to order one with Xi on the back. What number should I go with?

49 for founding year of PRC, but that was year of the Ox
24 for year of jersey
12 for signs of zodiac
19 for year of first raptors championship
68 for hexbear (hex 6, B looks like 8)
6 the dragon on the front already shaped like a 6
65 for FE (Freddy Engels)

49 would look good and would be Xi approved.

I was also thinking about 11 in honor of Yao Ming.

I can't use 81 on a Raptors jersey.

NBA history changed on January 22, 2006. Kobe Bryant, one of the game's stalwarts, changed the rules with a performance from another dimension. Bryant scored 81 points against the Toronto Raptors, in one of the greatest sporting displays of all time. However, some believe it could have been even better.

They're gonna put a snake on next year's one?

I hope so.

These dragon ones are for the raptors g league affiliate. I can only remember one really cool Chinese new year NBA jersey. Honestly i prob like it a lot for the goated Dino logo more then anything.

They have done things like this a few times too.

Pretty boring like modern raptor jerseys but "Toronto" in Mandarin is definitely an improvement on our current jerseys.
