SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Utah Jazz aren’t an elite NBA franchise, or so says cookie giant Oreo. The famous brand is teaming with the NBA to produce “six unique embossments” with the logos of “the greatest dynasties in NBA history” according to Yahoo Sports.
Unfortunately for Jazz fans, they won’t find the music note logo emboldened on an Oreo cookie anytime soon.
The teams chosen to have their logo printed on the cookie are the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and San Antonio Spurs.
BREAKING: Soon, there will be Oreos with the Heat logo on them.
The NBA and Mondelēz – makers of Oreo and other snacks – announced a multiyear partnership this morning.
Part of it: Limited-edition NBA Dynasty Oreo Cookies with some team logos, Heat included, are coming soon.

The Lakers, Celtics, Warriors, Bulls, and Spurs own the most titles in NBA history. The Heat’s three championships are tied with Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons for sixth-most since the league’s inception.
The Jazz have zero championships, despite two trips to the NBA Finals in the late 90s.
The cookie will also launch the “Taste Greatness” sweepstakes, offering a trip to NBA All-Star Weekend 2022 for the grand prize winner.
The cookie company will also team with the WNBA, G League, NBA 2K League, and USA Basketball for additional basketball-related items.
Oreo is owned by food conglomerate Mondelez International which also owns Cadbury, Ritz, and Toblerone among others.
