If you often drive by Wharncliffe Road South and Base Line Road West, you may already have noticed Raptors apparel at that corner.

Prices range from $25 to $50, all depending on what people get. Suleiman says that price is not a big deal for Londoners and that people are paying whatever to support their team.
