Raptors handing out angry maple leaf shirts for Game 1

The Toronto Raptors appealed to the national pride of fans for Game 7 against the Indiana Pacers by laying out free t-shirts over the stands in the image of a maple leaf.

With Game 1 of the Raptors' Eastern Conference semifinal matchup with the Miami Heat going down Tuesday night at the Air Canada Centre, the team then went one step further by taking that maple leaf and adding it to the shirts themselves.

The color scheme has been flipped from the layout used in Game 7, with the pattern looking more like the Canadian flag this time around.

It's good to see the design team has stepped up their game ever since going with the unsightly beavers and fireballs from Game 5.
