Winless through the first three games of another rebuilding season, a pair of Toronto residents had the perfect solution to excite the disillusioned Maple Leafs fanbase.
Babsocks.

Adorned with a scowl from Leafs head coach Mike Babcock, the first order of 200 Babsocks disappeared instantly when the website launched Saturday.
"The reaction we got from fans was amazing," co-creator Jake Mednick told Sportsnet after debuting the socks outside the Air Canada Centre on Saturday. "Everyone wanted their picture taken with us. Everyone wanted a pair of socks. Unfortunately we had just sold out inventory."
Babsocks are selling for $20 a pair.
