Super Bowl Gatorade Color Odds And Betting Strategy For 2025
Nick Sirianni was doused in yellow Gatorade with almost three minutes left in the game. If you wagered on yellow, you can cash your bet.
The Gatorade bath has become as synonymous with the Super Bowl as the commercials. The winning coach is drenched in America’s favorite electrolyte drink – a celebration of winning on the game’s biggest stage. It is a unique tradition that has carried over to other events and is now one of the top prop bets for each year's Big Game. You can view live Super Bowl Gatorade color odds posted at the top sports betting sites below.
Super Bowl Gatorade odds
Super Bowl 60 Gatorade color odds are now available at sports betting sites. Like last year, Purple opened as the Gatorade color betting favorite as it opened with a +175 price. The reason behind this is that the Kansas City Chiefs doused Andy Reid in Purple Gatorade following the Chiefs Super Bowl 57 and 58 wins. Kansas City is back in the Big Game chasing history and is a slight favorite over the Philadelphia Eagles. Currents odds (as of Feb. 7), which are posted below, show yellow/green/lime has made a significant odds shift going from +250 to -175, making it the new favorite over purple (+300).

Uniform color used to play a big role in setting the line for Gatorade odds, as the hue of the sports drink was thought by many to coincide with what color the winning team would wear. The Chiefs wear Red, but that color is actually a longshot on Super Bowl Gatorade color odds boards. Red (+550) is actually a cursed color when it comes to Super Bowl celebrations, as it has not appeared since the Gatorade bath celebration began years ago.
The Eagles wear green, and sports betting sites have it combined with yellow and lime. The opening odds for this bet were between +250 and +350. When the Eagles defeated the New England Patriots in SB 52, the team dumped yellow Gatorade on Doug Pederson.

Expect Orange to remain one of the Gatorade color favorites right up until the end of Super Bowl 60. Orange has appeared more than any other Gatorade color since 2001 as it has shown up five times. If the Chiefs get back to the Big Game, and when they won two years ago, it was Purple that showed up as a longshot winner. In 2020, it was Orange, not Red, that was dumped on the head of Chiefs coach Andy Reid. Orange had been +400 just prior to kickoff of that NFL championship game.
Red is listed in the +425 to +850 range at most books prior to Super Bowl 60. This color has never shown up, which is pretty surprising considering Fruit Punch is the second most popular Gatorade flavor in America behind Cool Blue, according to a December 2020 report from Delish.com.
Three years ago, blue was the Gatorade shower winning color. Rams head coach Sean McVay was doused with Blue Gatorade following LA's victory. Just prior to kickoff, blue was around +310 to win at most sports betting sites.
Super Bowl Gatorade color history
At the Super Bowl, the post-game Gatorade shower remains a tradition. That even includes betting on the color of the liquid that douses the winning coach.
The TV network that has the Super Bowl often captures the Gatorade shower for viewers watching at home. Last year, the winning Super Bowl Gatorade color was Purple, as Chiefs head coach Andy Reid got the shower. Purple had around +275 odds before the game. It was the second time Purple had appeared since 2012, when the New York Giants gave Tom Coughlin a Purple bath.
At the conclusion of Super Bowl LVI, LA Rams head coach Sean McVay had blue Gatorade dumped on his head. It was the second straight year that Blue was the winning color, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers surprisingly used the color the year prior. Blue was +310 to win with the Rams and Bengals that year, and the year prior had been a longshot with the Bucs and Chiefs at +650.

What to watch for when betting
Looking to place a few bucks on the Gatorade bath? While it certainly is more of a crapshoot than anything (unless the color is leaked by someone inside), taking a historical look might offer some insight.
Make no mistake, the Gatorade dunk has been good for business for the sports drink. The shower offers some nice prominence, and the company has been an official NFL sponsor since 1983.
A quick glance at those colors since 2001 offers some insight into the favored colors. Here are the totals for each color since 2001:
- Orange – 5
- Blue - 4
- Clear – 4
- Purple – 4
- None – 4
- Yellow – 3
The favored color is purple, although orange and yellow/green/lime are giving it a run for its money. Clear had a four-year run from 2005-08 and hasn’t shown up since then.
A look at Gatorade's popularity seems to offer a mystery. Why no red? As Delish.com noted in its recent rankings of Gatorade flavors, the red fruit punch is extremely popular. Yet it has eluded Super Bowl-winning coaches for a couple of decades now, and red seems to remain a longshot.
History of the Super Bowl Gatorade shower
Legend has it that the Gatorade (or Powerade, water, etc.) bath tradition began in 1984. It’s believed New York Giants nose tackle Jim Burt was the first to think of the idea.
Burt felt he had been mistreated during that week of practice prior to a regular-season game with the Washington Redskins. After the Giants won, Burt grabbed a cooler, and coach Bill Parcells got the Gatorade dump.
The tradition gained much more prominence two years later when the Giants won Super Bowl XXI. Parcells received a Gatorade bath for all 17 wins – the biggest coming after a 39-20 win over the Denver Broncos.
The tradition has continued in the Super Bowl and in numerous other sports feats and accomplishments. The Gatorade bath has helped celebrate wins in baseball, basketball, soccer, and numerous other sports.
Gatorade shower death?
One Gatorade bath stands out. George Allen, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was coaching the Long Beach State football team in 1990. The 72-year-old was given a celebratory ice water shower after the 49ers defeated the University of Nevada on Nov. 17 to end the season.
Allen had promised to turn the program around, and the win over Nevada accomplished that. After three straight losing seasons, the 49ers finished with a winning record, 6-5.
That night, the temperature was in the 50s, with a steady wind. Allen was still drenched while giving post-game interviews and celebrating with players.
Afterward, Allen became ill and died about six weeks later of ventricular fibrillation. Many have credited the shower with his death, but his son later said Allen’s death was due to a heart arrhythmia.
It remains an interesting footnote in the history of the Gatorade bath tradition. The Long Beach State program lasted only one more season, finishing 2-9 in 1991.
