The hijabs were inspired by a group based in Toronto that promotes Muslim women in sports.
The Toronto Raptors have introduced a new line of team-branded hijabs in an effort to be more inclusive to fans of all cultures.
The team partnered with Nike to design the hijabs — head coverings worn by some Muslim women — and unveiled them on Twitter, saying the athletic apparel was “inspired by those brave enough to change the game.”
