Why 6ix ?

Why 6ix ?

The name "6ix" has become synonymous with the city of Toronto, and it's all thanks to one of the city's most famous exports: Drake. The story goes that Drake began using the term "The 6" to refer to his hometown in the early 2010s, and it quickly caught on with his fans and other Torontonians.

The name is a reference to Toronto's area code, which is 416. In 2015, Drake released his album "Views," which featured the CN Tower, one of Toronto's most iconic landmarks, on the cover with the word "The 6" prominently displayed above it.

The term has since become a cultural touchstone for the city, and 6ix Merchandise has embraced it as a way to celebrate Toronto and all that makes it unique. Our products feature the "6ix" logo, which has become a symbol of pride for Torontonians and a way to show support for the city.

At 6ix Merchandise, we are proud to be a part of Toronto's vibrant and diverse culture, and we are dedicated to showcasing the best that the city has to offer through our products. Thank you for choosing 6ix Merchandise as your go-to source for all things Toronto!
