"Gatorade" is named after the University of Florida Gators. It was there in 1965 that then Gators football head coach Ray Graves asked the Univeristy of Florida College of Medicine to come up with a hydrating replacement for fluids lost by players during games. Gatorade was the end result of their research, and was subsequently used by the Gators during their games.
The Florida Gators credit their 1967 Orange Bowl win over the Georgia Yellow Jackets as having helped them win the game, a sentiment echoed by the Yellow Jackets head coach. Later that year, agreements were made with Stokely-Van Camp, Inc., to process, package, and distribute Gatorade, and the NFL entered into a licensing arrangement for its use in the league.
The rest is sports history.
