In the midst of the high energy prior to the highly-anticipated NBA Finals, Hayley Elsaesser unveils a Raptors Renaissance hoodie as a playful way to appeal to Raptors fans. The hoodie is a standard menswear fit and arrives in three colorway options of either pink, black, or white as the foundation.
The silhouette features details including a drawstring incorporated at the neckline, a double lined hood, armhole seams, and shoulders. The front of the hoodie showcases this season's Raptors players including Jeremy Lin, Kyle Lowry, Kawhi Leonard, and more. It is reimagined in a renaissance painting style, playfully adorning Leonard with angel wings as his teammates surround him to imitate the iconic shot that brought them into the Eastern finals. The graphic is surrounded by a golden frame print and dates in Roman numerals.
