Pepsi Celebrates The Knicks’ Championship

At the center of Champions Deserve Pepsi is a limited-edition 16 oz Pepsi x Knicks Championship can, available alongside limited-edition 20 oz Pepsi and Pepsi Zero Sugar x Knicks bottles at participating retailers across the Tri-State region. Fans can scan the QR code at the point of sale for a chance to win Knicks tickets.

Throughout the playoffs, Pepsi put New York’s Knicks fandom front and center with Knicks Fans Deserve Pepsi, a collector-can scavenger hunt across the five boroughs, and WE OUTSIDE, a real-time campaign that turned photos of Knicks fans from games 3 and 4 into billboards across New York. Now, heading into the Knicks’ championship season, Champions Deserve Pepsi brings familiar faces back to NYC streets and select fans inside The Garden, where John Starks surprised them with an early look at the new commemorative championship cans.

“The fans have inspired this campaign from the beginning,” said Gustavo Reyna, VP of Marketing, Pepsi. “Every step of the way, we’ve seen how they were showing up for the Knicks and found new ways to show up for them. Champions Deserve Pepsi is the next expression of that, celebrating an incredible championship and the New Yorkers who were there for it.”

“Once a Knick, always a Knick, but the real honor is being part of this fan base for life,” saidJohn Starks, former New York Knicks shooting guard. “New York fans bring an energy you can’t find anywhere else, and they deserve to be at The Garden celebrating this team. I love that Pepsi is putting fans first and giving even more of them a chance to experience it for themselves.”
