Toronto FC supporters enjoyed a momentous day on Monday when English football star Jermain Defoe, along with U.S. national team player Michael Bradley, were unveiled to the public as the club’s newest players. Even though it was a badly-kept secret, Sid Lee’s teaser campaign (10-second spots featuring Brits spitting out their tea), was still fun to watch, all culminating in 30 seconds of comical spit-takes.
