Case Study: Ruffles – Limited Edition Soccer Jersey

Ruffles – Limited Edition Soccer Jersey

Client: Ruffles (Frito-Lay / PepsiCo Brand)
Product: Custom Branded Soccer Jerseys
Industry: Consumer Goods 
Location: National Activation

 

The Challenge

Ruffles wanted to break the mold. With a growing interest in lifestyle branding, they needed to launch a limited edition soccer jersey that felt bold, exciting, and premium—not your average promo tee. This piece had to serve multiple roles: event giveaway, influencer sendout, and a brand engagement magnet.

The kicker? It couldn’t look or feel like something off a swag site.
They needed a creative partner who could design, manufacture, and deliver a high-quality product worthy of their national brand identity.

 

The Solution

KP Innovations took over as design and production lead, delivering a private-labeled soccer jersey that turned heads:

  • Bold Sublimated Design incorporating Ruffles’ iconic patterns and colors

  • Moisture-Wicking Performance Fabric for comfort and durability

  • Retail-Ready Finish including custom size tags, branded neck taping, and hem tags

  • Flexible Sizing for inclusive distribution

  • Premium Packaging for influencer kits and internal employee gifting

The jerseys were designed not just to represent Ruffles—but to elevate the brand to a fashion-forward audience.

 

The Results

  • Jerseys became the centerpiece of Ruffles’ campaign activation

  • Multiple influencers posted about them unprompted, creating organic reach

  • The campaign sparked higher engagement rates than past promotional apparel efforts

  • KP Innovations helped Ruffles redefine what “snack merch” could be—bridging the gap between brand and culture
