The Raptors wore their 'North' jerseys and everyone thought they were the old-school Hawks

Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors desperately need to win Game 4 against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday to avoid going down 3-1 in there series.

So maybe they are hoping their special “North” uniforms that they’re wearing on Sunday will help push them to a victory.

Fans were quick to notice that these uniforms look a lot like the classic Atlanta Hawks uniforms from the 1980s-90s.

First, here’s some background on the “North” uniforms, which Nike introduced last year:

The Raptors are introducing a red version of their City Edition uniform, which was unveiled in black last year and white this season. Unlike other jerseys in franchise history, they don’t say “Toronto” or “Raptors” on it. Instead, “North” is emblazoned across the chest, a nod to the team’s popular “We the North” campaign.

“A twist to the popular ‘North’ jersey, the red base of Toronto’s Earned Edition uniform honours Canada’s flag and the franchise’s position as the League’s only international team,” Nike says.

Fans, meanwhile, saw the Hawks:

Some fans loved them, though:
