Name and Coat of Arms

The team colors – blue and yellow – come from both the City of Toronto’s coat of arms and the Rugby School in Warwickshire, where the game was created in 1823. Blue symbolizes tradition, loyalty, unity, and strength; while yellow symbolizes success, athletic achievements, and joy.[4]
