Anthony Ruggiero is an art director at Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment - the company that owns the Toronto Maple Leafs and Raptors. Ten years ago he was selling Leafs and Raptors jerseys in the team store at the Air Canada Center . He worked his ass off, moved up and now designs the uniforms that Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors sell in that same store.
We dive into that and nerd out on some uniform design storytelling for sports teams across the NHL, NFL and NBA. Listen in to hear the story behind this year's Toronto Raptors City Edition Jersey. And of course we go into the practicals that he used to move up from being the person who was selling you a jersey to become the person who was designing a jersey.
