The electronics brand [Hisense](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brighter-life), an Official Sponsor of the [FIFA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-inclusive-tournament) World Cup 2026, launched an RGB-themed pop-up activation from June 9 to 13 at Hudson Yards in New York. This initiative revolved around the brand's flagship RGB MiniLED lineup — including three 116-inch UX series televisions and one 85-inch U9 series — and was presented alongside a collaboration with [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toronto-brand-hub) and FIFA. The goal was to create interactive football-themed experiences that engaged fans.

At Hisense's RGB-themed pop-up activation, visitors could stand before a Hisense screen to virtually try on adidas kits using RGB Chromagic technology that renders authentic jersey colors. Individuals could also participate in a svhooting game that progressively unlocks a co-branded mural for social media sharing, while football-themed quizzes generated personalized fan identity profiles and product recommendations directing traffic to the Hisense U.S. website for purchase.
