It was hard not to notice in the ACC last night that the t-shirt layout and design was a bit plain. The Raptors' shirts had featured snow balls and angry beavers and all forms of bizarre fonts. They'd been arranged into 6IX and YYZ formations.
Last night for Game 4, the night when many thought the Raptors would be swept out of the playoffs, the t-shirts were white with "2016 Conference Finals" on them, and there was no seat configuration design. I'm not entirely sure even the game-ops crew expected the team to be here. Most of us expected a funeral.
