Toronto Raptors unveil B.C. mountain merch for Vancouver visit
The Toronto Raptors will be bringing some unique swag with them when they visit Vancouver.
The lone Canadian team in the NBA will be playing preseason games in Quebec City and Vancouver ahead of the 2026-27 season as part of the NBA Canada Games. The Raptors previously announced their poutine-themed merch for the game in Quebec; now they’ve unveiled their designs for Vancouver.

The design features the Raptors’ titular raptor in hiking attire, complete with backpack and walking stick, a nod to the fabulously scenic hiking trails of B.C.
The day before the game, the Raptors will be on the Seawall for a special giveaway.
“Fans are invited to the historic Stanley Park in Vancouver on Oct. 9 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to follow in the footsteps of the Raptor and complete a portion of the Seawall Loop for the chance to win themed prizes,” said the Raptors in a press release. “The activation will feature free Raptors-inspired trail mix from Vancouverās Cabin5 at the start of the trail, along with a collectible Raptors cap upon completing the trail while supplies last.”
The logo will also be available on a limited-edition T-shirt on game day.

The game itself will take place on October 10 at 3:30 p.m. PCT at Rogers Arena against the L.A. Clippers.
It will be the seventh time the Raptors have played at Rogers Arena since the Vancouver Grizzlies left town back in 2001, and the eighth time the NBA has held a preseason game in Vancouver.
It will also potentially be the first time Kawhi Leonard faces his former team since the Clippers traded him to the Raptors this summer, a trade that was long-delayed by an NBA investigation.
Last year’s preseason game between the Raptors and Denver Nuggets sold out Rogers Arena.
