Raptors merchandise is flying off the shelves as the team engages in its first playoff battle in six years.
Sales of Raptors gear has increased by a staggering 300 per cent since the regular season, with shirts emblazoned with slogans like ‘Atlantic Is Ours’, ‘Northern Uprising’ and ‘We The North’ leading the charge to cash registers.
Lint rollers have also become a hot item after rapper and Raptors ambassador Drake was seen on the sidelines at the ACC lint rolling his black slacks during Game 2 of the series against the Brooklyn Nets.
IKEA Canada jumped on the bandwagon, announcing on its Twitter page that it was handing out free rollers ahead of Game 5 in Toronto.
