Super Bowl Gatorade Color Odds: The NFL’s Favorite Prop Bet

No championship is complete until the winning coach has a tub of Gatorade dunked over their head. Everyone knows that.

Legend says the taste of victory is sweet. That was taken to another level in 1984, when New York Giants defensive tackle Jim Burt showered his coach, Bill Parcells, with the sweet recovery drink following a 37-13 win over the Washington Redskins.

Burt’s decision was motivated by anger and revenge—he felt that Parcells had been too hard on him during practice, making him hold dumbbells for extreme durations and even punch a locker room wall. 

But while the initial action may have stemmed from negativity, it inspired an immediate winning streak. It was cemented in sports lore after Parcells was doused following a 39-20 win over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI.

Fast forward to 2025, and the Gatorade shower is just as iconic as ever, and now, bettors can try their hand at picking what color liquid will be used to commemorate the next Super Bowl winner.

Super Bowl Gatorade Color Betting Trends

Since 2000, three Gatorade colors have been used more than any other, and each five times: blue, orange, and purple.

Clear/water was used four times, yellow was used three times, and red was only used once. Winning teams did not pour a Gatorade bath three times.

• Blue: five times

• Orange: five times

• Purple: five times

• Clear/water: four times

• Yellow: three times

• None: three times

• Red: one time

Notably, the Kansas City Chiefs used purple Gatorade for each of their Super Bowl Gatorade baths over the last two years. 

Blue Gatorade was used in three of the four seasons immediately before that, with the Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and New England Patriots also indicating their partiality toward “Glacier Freeze.” 

Red Gatorade has not been used by the winning team since the Rams won the 2000 Super Bowl, and although clear/water showed up four times, they all came in a four-year stretch from 2005-08.

Additionally, every team since 2017 celebrated their Super Bowl triumph with an iconic Gatorade bath.

Here’s a look at what color Gatorade every team used since 2000.

Super Bowl Gatorade Shower Fun Facts

You may be asking yourself “Why wouldn’t a team choose to perform a Gatorade bath?”

While it would be logical to assume that would be due to inclement weather, all three instances of teams not performing a Gatorade bath occurred after Super Bowls that were played indoors. 

That’s even more interesting since Super Bowl LIX will be played inside the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. 

Teams are often superstitious about the color of Gatorade they use.

For example, the Chiefs’ decision to roll with the purple liquid during their two recent Super Bowls was a deviation from their 2020 championship, when they used orange Gatorade.

If we’re to assume the Chiefs also filled their tubs with orange Gatorade the next year when they lost to the Buccaneers, it would only make sense for them to change colors and cleanse their bad luck.

Clear/water and yellow have been on the down and out in recent years, while purple has become more prominent. Blue and orange have been consistently popular throughout the 2000s.

Which Sportsbooks Offer Gatorade Bath Color Props?

Many of the top NFL betting sites will offer betting odds for the Super Bowl Gatorade bath color. These odds will be presented in a group rather than one at a time in a yes/no format, meaning the bettor will only win if they choose the exact Gatorade color.

In the event that there is not a Gatorade bath, it is up to the sportsbook to determine if the bet will be graded as a loss of a refund.

What Color Was the Gatorade in the Last Super Bowl?

The Kansas City Chiefs poured purple Gatorade over the head of coach Andy Reid for the second season running, following their Super Bowl triumph the year before.

However, the Chiefs used orange Gatorade when they won the 2020 Super Bowl.

What Is the Gatorade Bath?

The Gatorade bath is a celebratory gesture in which players from the winning team take their tub of Gatorade stored on the sideline and pour it on their head coach. Sideline reporters, photographers, and players are often caught in the “splash zone” of the celebration.
