New York's Major League Soccer team is owned – and named after - Red Bull. Xyience is the drink of choice at the UFC. Gatorade, a unit of PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP) is an official sponsor of the NFL.

Earlier today, Jones Soda Co (NASDAQ: JSDA) said it would be a sponsor of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks on CNBC. The Seahawk organization granted Jones the exclusive soft-drink and certain non-alcoholic beverage availability rights at Qwest and Events Center as well as other sponsorship and trademark rights regarding the use of the Seahawks trademarks through 2012.

The world of alternative beverages continues to gain notoriety and Jones' deal with the Seattle Seahawks is a big step not only for the company but for the sector. Shares of Jones Soda closed up 8.25%, to $21.64 today.

I wonder if Jones would make an exclusive drink to promote the deal. They could call it Seattle Sludge, perhaps? How about Football Fudge?
