Super Bowl 60 Gatorade Color Odds And Betting Strategy

Nick Sirianni was doused in yellow Gatorade with almost three minutes left in the game this time last year when the Philadelphia Eagles pulled off an emphatic Super Bowl win. But what color will it be this year when the winning team between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots does this tradition with their coach?

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, which is 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. Orange opened as the Gatorade color betting favorite at +225.

Uniform color used to play a significant role in setting the line for Gatorade odds, as the hue of the sports drink was widely believed to correspond to the winning team's uniform color. The Patriots wear blue, but that color is actually a long shot on Super Bowl Gatorade color odds boards. Red, which is New England's secondary color, is very infrequently used and something to consider. The Seahawks wear green and blue as their primary colors, and sports betting sites have combined the former with yellow and lime.

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. Red is listed as a major underdog at most books prior to Super Bowl 60, because again, that 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.

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. Here is the Super Bowl Gatorade color history with betting odds.

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. Orange has been the most prominent color over the past 25 years, but blue has been king over the past 10 more recently.

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 long shot.

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.
