In 2023, JerseyBird began manufacturing for a 6th division football club from Kahawa West, a neighborhood just north of Nairobi, Kenya. After working closely with the team for 2 years, JerseyBird founder Hayes Canupp purchased 50% of the club in March of 2025, aiming to be more involved with the club and help push them to the top of the Kenyan football pyramid. This series is an ongoing documentary covering the club's ups, downs, and stories as they continue their road to the Kenyan Premier League.
