610 is the team number, and the tower is likely the CN tower.

Drake calls Toronto "The Six." And the city really, really likes the name.

Well obviously I get that 610 is the team number, but around here the phrase "THE 610" is used to refer to Philadelphia and/or Southeastern Pennsylvania because that is the area code for the area, so that threw me off because I thought they were trying to do a play on something like that. Also, I've never heard of the CN tower, what with not being Canadian.

Re: Team 610 Store - Updated

One bit of context that's missing - "The Six" or "The 6ix" (or whatever) to refer to Toronto actually IS based on an area code as well - 416, Toronto's oldest and biggest one (since there are several now). As was already mentioned, Drake kind of took it and ran with it.

And yup, that's the CN Tower. It was the world's tallest freestanding structure for about 30 years, only beaten in the last 10 years or so. It's basically a symbol for Toronto like how any showpiece/record-breaking building would be in another city.

Here's an article from the Globe and Mail (a national newspaper) that describes the nickname for Toronto.

I'm actually aware that 610 is an area code for the area west of Philly. I have a Roam Mobility US number, and tried really hard to get a 610 number, but ended up with a 484 instead...:(

Oooh, hadn't heard the theory about the 6 former municipalities pre-amalgamation...that's an interesting one, too.

Yes, the green hoodies are only given to our team members, however they can be traded for at events.

If you have a 3xl green hoodie I'll happily trade you for a 3xl 1529 CyberCards T-shirt
