i'm really surprised that Raptors get so much attention (eek, i sound like Rob calling Blunts overhyped). it's odd to me. most people have favorite sports teams regardless of the country or sport and wear the team's respective jersey or ball cap. but wearing a shoe with a sports team on it, i thought, was always kind of a nerdy thing to do. like an overboard team fanatic. "dude. come on. sneakers?" i was once looking for some black "USA" SS2's made in conjunction with the Olympics a few years back. some SSDB members heckled me about "Americans are always proud to wear their flag on everything". i never snagged a pair by the way. but, isn't this the same line of reasoning... sports team on your Supe or country flag on your Supe? Tif... would you wear Supes with Yankee logos and wording on them or Duke University?
