Sunkist Soda and 7UP are teaming up with USA Basketball to become its official soft drink partner. Collectible cans will pair legendary members of the 1992 Dream Team with equally legendary soda brands. NBA legends Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson and Scottie Pippen will be featured on Sunkist, 7UP, A&W root beer, Canada Dry and Sun Drop soft drink cans, respectively, during a summer-long promotion cheering on the USA Men’s National Team.

“Basketball fans will love these limited-edition cans as they toast this year’s team and celebrate the original 1992 Dream Team,” said Dave Falk, director of marketing for Sunkist soda.

Sunkist will also give fans exclusive opportunities to watch the USA Basketball men’s national team as they play in Las Vegas and Barcelona, as well as interact with USA Basketball legends, including Dream Team members. The Sunkist fans that win the trip to Barcelona will also experience a special presentation celebrating the Dream Team’s debut in the same city where they first graced the world stage 20 years ago.

“This is a special year for USA Basketball and this partnership with these iconic brands will help pay homage to our rich history,” said USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo. “We look forward to having some of the most storied players in our program’s history recognized on these brands’ cans as we prepare to compete this summer.”

The limited-edition Sunkist, 7UP, A&W root beer, Canada Dry and Sun Drop soft drink cans will be available May 15, 2012, at retailers nationwide.
