CHICAGO, July 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A fourth stripe at last! Cap'n Crunch is making his status official, thanks to his new jacket featuring four-striped sleeves fit for a captain. To unveil his new look, Cap'n Crunch set sail to the world's most iconic cosplay capital.
On July 20th, Cap'n Crunch made some big waves where superheroes and super fans converge in San Diego. As a nod to his 60th birthday this year, 60 of Cap'n Crunch's Crunchmates appeared dressed like none other than the Cap'n himself—four stripes and all.

While Cap'n Crunch has always had the honor of being a Cap'n to his Crunch Crew aboard the S.S. Guppy, his old jacket featured sleeves with three stripes instead of a true captain's jacket which boasts sleeve with four stripes. Now, he's proud to show off his new four-stripe look that will accompany him through all the crunchtastic adventures to come.
"With the celebration of Cap'n Crunch's 60th birthday this year, we thought it was only fitting to commemorate his epic 60 years of tasty adventures with a fresh new look," says Kristin Kroepfl, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Quaker Foods North America at PepsiCo. "What better way to unveil the beloved Cap'n Crunch's new four-striped look than with his cosplaying Crunchmates around one of the most iconic pop culture events of the year?!"
Ahead of the live unveiling, observant fans spotted teasers of Cap'n's refreshed, four-stripe jacket around San Diego and on Cap'n Crunch's Instagram and Twitter channels over the past few days. Fans can check out the Cap'n's new look on the latest Cap'n Crunch Cereal Boxes, Treat Bars, and more, rolling out now in stores nationwide.
