As the Toronto Blue Jays fight to defy the odds in their World Series fight against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Schneiders recently showed its appreciation for Canadian baseball fans who’ve fueled the energy all season long. Following a record-breaking summer that saw an all-time high of 96,633 Schneiders Loonie Dogs eaten in a single game, the brand re-released its limited-edition Championship merch for one final drop.
Originally launched earlier this year to mark the fan-driven frenzy at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, the collection has become a symbol of Blue Jays pride, and celebrates baseball's most loyal and hungry supporters.
The exclusive Championship merch pop-up opened its doors at John & Front Street on Saturday, October 24, ahead of Game Two, with Schneiders rallying fans to keep the momentum alive. This limited edition merch drop pays tribute to the underdog spirit, the electric atmosphere of Loonie Dog Nights, and the fans who turned a stadium snack into a staple of this year's World Series.
