Uncover the ultimate 40-oz. tumbler through our fun and thorough test of Stanley Cup lookalikes. Sip in style with the best one!

The Stanley Cup isn't just a coveted hockey trophy anymore. It's the inspiration behind one of the most popular and trendy drinkware items on the market – the 40-ounce tumbler. I embarked on a wild journey to test a bunch of these Stanley Cup lookalikes, so you don’t have to. Because, let’s be real, who has time to sift through a mountain of tumblers? Spoiler alert: There’s a lot of sipping involved!

My kitchen counter soon turned into a battleground of stainless steel, gloriously colored tumblers, each vying for the top spot. From famous brands to lesser-known gems, I evaluated each one on durability, insulation, and, of course, style. One thing is certain – not all tumblers are created equal. While some impressed with their robust build and ability to keep beverages cold for hours, others fell flat, literally – hello, dented corners!

As much as I tried, I couldn’t find an exact replica that matches the iconic look and performance of the original Stanley Cup tumbler. However, a few contenders came pretty close! The winner? An underdog brand that nailed the blend of visual appeal and functionality. It’s like finding a diamond in the rough, people! I couldn't help but applaud its spill-proof lid and comfortable grip – it’s basically your new hydration BFF.

And now for some fun trivia! Did you know that the Stanley Cup, the granddaddy of all sports trophies, weighs a whopping 34.5 lbs and stands at about 35.25 inches tall? Also, the 40-ounce Stanley Cup-inspired tumblers are incredibly popular among TikTok users, who lovingly hashtag their hydration journeys under #StanleyTumblerChallenge.

Another interesting tidbit: The original Stanley brand has been around for over 100 years and was founded by inventor William Stanley Jr. in 1913. They were trendsetters back then and continue to be today, proving that a good sip never goes out of style. So, whether you're a hockey fan or a hydration enthusiast, there’s definitely a Stanley-inspired tumbler out there waiting for you to pick it up and sip in style!
