Maple Leafs announce Oreo as new helmet sponsor

[Crow]

Just learning that some people call milk "white milk" to differentiate it from sugar-filled flavored milk...

I guess even the Roman Empire collapsed at some point.

It’s really more than just that one person?

I only drink transparent water. Other types of water are gross.

It's amazing how embarrassing all of this is. Like I just think back ten years how much jersey and helmet ads would reek of a desperate sports league trying to stay solvent, like they've so lost control of their finances that they have to beg corporations and rent out space on their jerseys.

I know that's not the case, but that's how it always comes across to me. The league can't stay afloat without the help of Oreos. Can't make money with their own stuff, they have to beg a crumbly cookie and some milk to help them out. Please Oreos, give us money, we can't fund our league on our own, please lend your name to our product. Please milk, help a poor struggling sports league out.

Again I know this is all about corporate greed, but I'll never not think that this league just cannot figure out their money situation and needs cookies to rescue them. Forever embarrassing.

White milk?

What colour milk do you prefer?

I only drink chocolate milk here and there.

It’s brown obviously…

There's a vanilla flavoured milk?

Yes, I saw it at No Frills.

They put it on markdown, so I tried it. It was alright.

I mean there are so many people here that claim to hate the Leafs and all the attention the Leafs get and then can't stop obsessing over irrelevant news like this. This thread was started by a Habs fan lol.

First thing I thought. Make a thread about anything positive and either people are saying it is not thread worthy or complaining about Leaf content. But anything at all that can be twisted even slightly negative (like a cookie sponsor) will go for 10 pages until it gets locked from all the arguing.

I think a lot of these folks are closet Leaf fans

 

[CanadienShark]

I hate ads on jerseys before we know it they will be covered but this is kinda funny.
they do crumble like cookies.

You said it, not me.

 

[SUX2BU]

Nothing say Honour, Pride, Courage like milk and cookies .........

leaded or unleaded?

 

[Dirty Dan]

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

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

Most masculine pens fan

Sometimes you need to try it with the sogs, milk is great

Yes it sucks

 

[jbeck5]

You don't remember 2021? It's ok, I don't want to remember it either.

Oh ya haha.

My team has been irrelevant for like 7-8 years so pardon my bad memory. I'm like half tuned out these days haha.

 

[njdevils1982]

so they got the oreos and milk but how are they going to be able to dunk the cookies? there is no cup

 

[Arthur Morgan]

You said it, not me.

At this point it just goes hand in hand with the franchise.

didn't think Id ever lose faith in them back when Matthews was a rookie. but after what 9 years now? it's hard to care, at some point it just becomes a joke,

ill always support them and cheer for them but I mean.... they are what they are

 

[GAGLine]

If Toronto was serious about winning, they would have gone with Peek Freans.

 

[Breakers]

Bettman is frothing at the next area he can brand.

You know he wants to do hockey pants like Europe even though it looks like complete sh-t

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Well they tend to crumble under pressure. So it's fitting!

 

[TheNumber4]

Guess im boycotting Oreos. Trashest cookies around.

 

[Strangle]

Overcome Rivals Execute Objectives

 

[End on a Hinote]

They were turned down by Reece's because the peanut butter comes in cups.

 

[La Bamba]

Milk & Oreos were a fave combo of mine as a kid so I can't hate

Better than the Oilers with a gambling company and Skip the dishes

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Chocolate sandwich cookie

Does it come across that way with the biggest sports in the world, though?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

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

Fitting.

Oreos are definitely disgusting, not sure why they're so famous. The cookie portion is vile and then the icing is just flat out disgusting.

EDIT: if you're not a Toronto fan #5 is retired

Yeah that's weird, why is Tanev wearing a retired number?

On the Leafs website, he's listed as #8 - His normal number, he wore 3 for the Stars but wore 8 with Vancouver and Calgary.
