Lyrics too bad for this forum

I'll find another song with cookies in the lyrics

[Sidney the Kidney]

So if Toronto gets upset about a call, the obvious reply is “that’s the way the cookie crumbles!”

Leafs to continue dunking on themselves for another season.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Fudge Oeros are so good.

leafs Fudge Oreos themselves when the games matter

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

The oreo on the helmet is kinda cool. However, the milk on the jersey is diabolical.

You have to have the milk with the oreo

Toronto: Milk and Cookies

Edmonton: Fast Food Delivery and Online Gambling

One of the most overrated cookies sponsoring one of the most overrated franchises in pro sports.

Fitting.

How dare you on the cookie

I’ve legit never understood the whole dunking Oreos thing.

I don’t want a soggy cookie. Plus white milk is gross.

White milk (atleast 1 %) is fantastic

Dunking Oreos not good

I know that they have to do it, as another party just paid them to display their logo, but teams trying to act like a sponsorship on a jersey or helmet or whatever is a big deal will never not be cringey.

I swear, if I win the powerball, I'm going to drop a million or two bucks on the Blackhawks and just have my name on their helmet or something. Or heck, if I were Roger Goodell I'd offer the NHL a few dozen million and make the NFL the official jersey sponsor of the NHL. You know there's a price where that flex would be financially attractive for the NHL while being a rounding error for the NFL.

Its not about money, its about power and control.

I really do wonder what the research shows on positive vs negative brand association with these sort of ugly eyesores on uniforms/helmets.

Obviously something in Mr Christie's Analytics Machine is telling them that this is good promotion and brand awareness. But it's not like Oreos are a secret...and i'd guarantee there are people who are going to turned off the cookie because it's getting blasted at them so aggressively. I guess the latter is just a lot smaller than the number of people who...weren't aware of, or thinking about Oreos?

 

[Sniper99]

Sadly I found our new home goal song.

 

[Rcknrollkillnmachine]

This is worse than the gambling ads furore.

 

[JoVel]

They should make the entire helmet Oreo-colored, with the filling in the middle and everything. People would love it.

 

[wunderpanda]

shame it wasn't eggo waffles

 

[Nogatco Rd]

thread is making me hungry

 

[jbeck5]

So cringey, who cares?

Oh yay! Oreos are now the "official" cookie of the Leafs!

Yup lol why is this on the main boards? Haven't seen people posting other teams sponsorships on the main boards lol.

 

[Rob Brown]

Because it's the Leafs and lots of people obsess over the Leafs despite acting like they don't care.

 

[dirtydanglez]

oreos got to be one of the worst cookies around.

 

[jbeck5]

Because it's the Leafs and lots of people obsess over the Leafs despite acting like they don't care.

I'm pretty sure the ones obsessing over the Leafs don't act like they don't care lol they're actually more annoying than most. With that many fans comes that many annoying fans lol. They're much better in person I find... especially 1 on 1.

 

[CanadienShark]

Milk and Oreos baby. I have to say, the Leafs have nailed it with sponsors. Their ads aren't intrusive, fit the colour scheme, and are downright hilarious.

As much as I hate ads on jerseys and helmets, if it has to be done, do it this way.

 

[Fatass]

Still laughing that a cookie is on their helmets. It’s a cookie!

 

[CanadienShark]

lol it doesnt get soggy from dipping into some milk

He probably soaked them overnight and complained.
