Drake's love for and connection to his hometown Toronto Raptors has been well-documented. Last night Drake tweeted out a link to a countdown to the imminent release of his redesign of the Raptors' logo in collaboration with the vintage apparel company Mitchell & Ness.

Drake's tweet brought on an avalanche of traffic and the page immediately crashed. At this point page traffic levels have normalized and you can view the countdown in all its glory. A gold amulet with the OVO owl on one side and the Raptors raptor on the other rotates to the pleasing sound of a standard-fare OVO instrumental.

As of this post we're a little more than 5 days and 21 hours from launch.
