PepsiCo Design and Innovation

Gatorade Rookie Bottle is an insulated stainless steel water bottle designed for young athletes. The reduced size is easier for children to hold and drink from. A built-in carrying handle supports mobility, and a dent-resistant shell protects the bottle when dropped. A leak-proof straw cap limits spills. The double-wall stainless steel interior provides more than 24 hours of insulation. The design was developed with feedback from parents and youth athletes, who identified mobility, durability and cleanability as the main needs.

Press Kit

Unique Properties
In February 2024, we launched The Gatorade Rookie Bottle, a new stainless steel bottle designed to meet the unique needs of younger competitors. Because their thirst is different, the Rookie Bottle needed to be different. To perfect the new design, we took feedback and insights directly from parents and their youth athletes. With their help, we identified three crucial features and functions: mobility, durability and cleanability.
Inspiration
When it comes to hydration, kids don't need as much volume; likewise, the larger size makes it harder for them to hold and drink from larger bottles. Even aspiring athletes tend to drop their bottles often, so we created a durable design, complete with a built-in carrying handle and dent-resistant shell that protects the bottle from drops. Plus, we added a leak-proof straw cap to minimize spills, and a double-wall stainless steel interior that provides more than 24 hours of insulation.
