What do you do if you are in the company’s storied shoes? You do the same thing that brought you commercial appeal in the first place; create an amazing advertisement. It is no secret that the folks at Gatorade have had one heck of a marketing team in place for decades. The phrase “Is it in you?” has been uttered by virtually every young athlete that has ever dreamed of winning a World Series or NBA title.

So to celebrate 50 years of hydrating athletes everywhere, the company released a video featuring a montage of 50 iconic figures/moments in professional sports history.

Names such as the aforementioned Jordan, and Peyton Manning appear throughout, along with entire teams, like the 2007-08 Boston Celtics in their record 17th NBA finals victory, or the 2009 New York Yankees after celebrating their mind-blowing 27th World Series Championship.
