Team 610 has recently made some positive changes to our online store. We have cleaned up our inventory to better serve the community, as well as added a brand new t-shirt design, available in both Green and in White (see below). For more information, please visit the store.
We sold them for a bit, but I believe those were member-only sales items and I don’t think that theres a plan to bring them back, just like our 610-brand frisbees.
The specific colour that we use for the green male t-shirt is unavailable for the female t-shirt template that we use (provided by Spreadshirt). We would love to offer female green t-shirts, but this restriction prevents us from doing so at the moment.
So at the risk of sounding really, really dumb, can somebody explain this shirt to me? Is “the 610” referred to here a Canadian thing, or is it referring to Philadelphia? And what building is that?
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.
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.
