Yes, that is correct. They are also available at the Wrap Party after the event. If you peal the label off the bottle, there is more information about FIRST on it. Judging by the logo on the bottle and the info under the label, they are pretty old. Got to wonder how much water FIRST has (they have been at the wrap party and championship for at least the past 4 years) , i doubt the company still makes them, other wise the info would be more up to date.

Unless Shasta doesn't want to pay the extra money each year to "retool" the factory to make a few pallets of water for FIRST.

Although I wouldn't put it past them to make a large quantity of water every few years and then just disperse it over several seasons. After all, it's just water. If Twinkies would last through a nuclear winter, bottled water would most definitely last until the sun runs out of hydrogen and turns into a red giant in five billion years.

The graphics on the labels have stayed the same but they changed the bottle design over the years.
The first year I remember seeing these was 2002 or 2003 Nationals. (Not exactly sure - I think it was in Disney, so that would suggest 2002).

Although, all 3 bottles I have in 2 different bottle designs, the labels say copyright 2003 so who knows for sure.
