The collection features bold (and comfortable) football-watching pieces including a lounger, hoodie, bucket hat and a collectible Pepsi can, inspired by the iconic Pepsi brand and traditional football fan apparel. As of today, the Pepsi x Dapper Dan capsule will be available at MadeForFootballWatching.com/DapperDan and MadeForFootballWatching.com pages where fans can score items from the collection while supplies last until September 23, 2021.

Capsule items are available to the first 400 eligible consumers that sign up. The first three eligible consumers will receive the custom, one-of-a-kind lounger featured in the capsule collection, handmade in Dapper Dan’s Harlem atelier.

As part of the brand’s “Made for Football Watching” gear program that kicked off in August, fans will also have the opportunity to redeem points to enter for the chance to win the full capsule collection from September 12 – 18 and September 26 – October 2 (multiple drawing deadlines apply). See Official Rules* for details.

About the Pepsi “Made for Football Watching” Campaign

In August, the Pepsi “Made for Football Watching” campaign returned, giving all football watchers permission (and encouragement) to choose their love of the game over all else. In its second year, the campaign celebrates loyal football fans and inspires them to gear up (literally) for a season of hours upon hours of prime NFL binge-watching.

Along with the return of national TV spots, this year’s program debuted “Football Is Calling,” new digital content featuring Billions star and Breaking Bad alum David Costabile, alongside a new program that gave fans a chance to score NFLShop.com merch and exclusive prizes – all to take their watch parties and football marathons to the next level.
