In celebration of the Toronto Raptors' 30th anniversary, Subway Canada launched a new sandwich for basketball fans, the #30 Carnivore sub, to pay tribute to the team mascot inspired by bird-like dinosaurs. Available only for a limited time, the all-new sub for meat lovers promises to satisfy any carnivore with Capicola, Genoa Salami, Pepperoni and Subway’s signature Cold Cut Trio, plus processed cheddar cheese, crispy onions, pickles, shredded lettuce and a zesty Chipotle Southwest sauce.
In addition to serving the Carnivore sub, Subway restaurants will also have commemorative Subway gift cards for purchase and new sandwich wraps, featuring artwork inspired by the 30th anniversary. And with the new Subway MVP Rewards Footlong Sweeps, basketball fans can win an experience for two at the NBA Paris Games 2025.
