Gatorade Launches “You Know We Got ‘IT’” Campaign, Celebrating Inclusivity and Athlete Individualism in Football

Gatorade Launches "You Know We Got ‘IT’” Campaign

As the NFL kicks off another monumental season, Gatorade, the world’s leading sports drink, is shaping the future of football with its latest campaign, “You Know We Got ‘IT’.” The campaign, a revival of the brand’s iconic tagline “Is It In You?,” celebrates the evolving landscape of football, highlighting women’s growing impact, the rise of flag football, and a new era of athlete individualism.

“Gatorade was born on the football field, and we’re proud to continue fueling the next generation of trailblazers who are charting an exciting and inclusive future for the sport,” said Anuj Bhasin, Chief Brand Officer at Gatorade. “We want to inspire all athletes to believe that they have ‘IT’.”

To underscore this commitment, Gatorade is expanding its elite roster with new athletes who are redefining the sport. New signings include Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, and Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua. Additionally, world champion flag football quarterback Diana Flores becomes the first flag football athlete to join Gatorade’s roster.

Gatorade is also promoting inclusivity with a new limited-edition Drop, in collaboration with designer Kristin Juszczyk, whose gameday designs have garnered attention online. The Drop features two capsules combining Gatorade’s heritage and Kristin’s patchwork style, available exclusively on Gatorade.com on September 12.

“Growing up, I always had a Gatorade in my hand, so to now be collaborating with the brand on a Gatorade iD Drop is incredible,” said fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk. “This collection marries the worlds of fashion and sports – both of which are so meaningful to my own life, being a designer and a fan. I’m proud that this collaboration celebrates inclusivity in sport and hope it inspires even more people to get in the game.”

As part of its Equity in Sports initiative, Gatorade is investing more than $600,000 to provide greater access to sports for young athletes, focusing on female athletes in flag football. This includes donations from sales at Dick’s Sporting Goods and grants to several flag football organizations nationwide.

Launching alongside the NFL season, Gatorade’s new campaign film, narrated by Lamar Jackson, features a star-studded lineup of athletes inspiring the next generation to find their “IT” and strive for greatness. “This campaign is all about the idea that ‘IT’ is an internal mindset that drives you to be your best,” said Jackson.

Drake Trolls Ben Da Donn In Comment Section Of His Instagram Freestyle

Ben Da Donn and Drake have been cool for years. The comedian and the rapper have frequently crossed paths and made fun of each other in the process. The latest interaction between the duo is no different. Ben Da Donn decided to drop a freestyle on his Instagram. The caption made it clear that he was riffing on a trend of rappers hopping onto classic instrumentals. That said, Drake didn’t let him off the hook. He proceeded to clown Be Da Donn in the comment section for trying to generate attention.

The caption Ben Da Donn posted with his freestyle is important to note. “When rappers go do freestyles and ruin classic instrumentals,” he wrote. Harmless enough, right? Drake couldn’t help himself, though, and told Ben he was trying too hard. “Pick me a*s caption,” the rapper commented. “Oh when your raps are sooooooo bad over a classic hahah right ya’ll??? Right???? Comment below if I’m a*s ya’ll.” Drake’s comment received over 2K likes and remains the top comment on Ben Da Donn’s post. Still, there’s no issues between Drizzy and Ben Da Donn.

Drake Gave Ben Da Donn Grief For Being A ‘Pick Me’

If anything, Ben Da Donn has been one of Drake’s most vocal supporters in 2024. The comedian made fun of Rick Ross for dropping the Drake diss “Champagne Moments,” and behaving immaturely during their entire feud. “Imagine being 50sum tambout ‘AND THATS WHY I UNFOLLOWED YOU,” he jokingly wrote. Rick Ross didn’t take kindly to the comment, and proceeded to tell Ben Da Donn to wash the bottom of his yacht. Not the most clever response, but a response nonetheless.

A Drake Instagram comment isn’t super common, but we do know the rapper has been on Instagram. He’s continued to release new footage on his burner account. The most notable of which, was a studio session in which him and 40 talk about prepping a collab track with Kendrick Lamar. The collab never came to fruition, but its inclusion feels pointed on the part of Drake. Toronto’s very own might want to redirect focus to music, though. The rapper was recently accused of not clearing a sample for one of hist recent singles. He also had to omit Playboi Carti from the streaming version of “No Face.”
