📜 Super Bowl Gatorade color betting odds history

Part of what makes the Super Bowl Gatorade color prop so intriguing is that historically there hasn't been a real front-runner.

A great way to determine the possible color of Gatorade is to watch the NFC and AFC Championship games, as the winning team will almost certainly dump something on their head coach. 

Here's a breakdown of the color of the winning coach's Gatorade shower over the years:

Game Winning Team Color
Super Bowl 21 New York Giants Orange
Super Bowl 25 New York Giants Clear
Super Bowl 28 Dallas Cowboys Clear
Super Bowl 29 San Francisco 49ers Clear
Super Bowl 30 Dallas Cowboys Clear
Super Bowl 35 Baltimore Ravens Yellow
Super Bowl 36 New England Patriots None
Super Bowl 37 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Purple
Super Bowl 38 New England Patriots None
Super Bowl 39 New England Patriots Clear
Super Bowl 40 Pittsburgh Steelers Clear
Super Bowl 41 Indianapolis Colts Clear
Super Bowl 42 New York Giants Clear
Super Bowl 43 Pittsburgh Steelers Yellow
Super Bowl 44 New Orleans Saints Orange
Super Bowl 45 Green Bay Packers Orange
Super Bowl 46 New York Giants Purple
Super Bowl 47 Baltimore Ravens None
Super Bowl 48 Seattle Seahawks Orange
Super Bowl 49 New England Patriots Blue
Super Bowl 50 Denver Broncos Orange
Super Bowl 51 New England Patriots None

We've witnessed most winning coaches getting drenched in Gatorade after Super Bowls since the tradition started in 1987 at Super Bowl 21. Since Super Bowl 35, with the exception of a few years featuring curmudgeon Bill Belichick, nearly every coach has taken the Gatorade bath.

Let's take a look at the breakdown of winning Super Bowl Gatorade baths by color:

  • Clear: 8
  • Orange: 6
  • Blue: 4
  • None: 4
  • Purple: 4
  • Yellow: 5

Clear, or water, leads here. However, it hasn't appeared in a Super Bowl postgame shower since Super Bowl 42 when Tom Coughlin was drenched. 

Here's a look at the winning Super Bowl Gatorade color betting odds from the past few years.

  • Yellow (+190, Seahawks 2026)
  • Yellow (-190, Eagles 2025)
  • Purple (+275, Chiefs 2024)
  • Purple (+1000, Chiefs 2023)
  • Blue (+310, Rams 2023)
  • Blue (+650, Buccaneers 2021)
  • Orange (+400, Chiefs 2020)
  • Blue (+150, Patriots 2019)

💡 Super Bowl Gatorade color betting tips

There's only so much you can do to improve your chances here, but there are some things to consider if you want to give yourself even a sliver of an edge:

  • Consider following beat writers from both Super Bowl teams in the days leading up to the game. They might either address the Gatorade topic with their own knowledge of the subject (based on their proximity to the team), or it might come up during one of their interviews
  • Make note of any color match potential that exists with the Super Bowl finalists
  • If you're still in doubt, go with blue! Not only has it been the winning color three out of the past five years, but it also happens to be the best-selling Gatorade flavor overall.

📖 How to read Super Bowl Gatorade color odds

Reading Super Bowl Gatorade color odds is straightforward. Odds are usually presented in a format like +500 or -200. Positive odds (i.e., +500) show how much profit you’d make on a $100 bet.

For example, a $100 bet at +500 odds would win you $500, plus your original $100 stake, totaling $600. Negative odds (e.g., -200) indicate how much you need to bet to win $100. So, a $200 bet at -200 odds would win you $100, plus your $200 stake, totaling $300.

These odds also reflect the probability of a particular Gatorade color being the bath of choice for the winning coach. Lower odds (i.e., +300) suggest a higher likelihood, while higher odds (e.g., +2000) indicate a lower probability. Sportsbooks adjust these odds based on rumors, news, and betting patterns.

If Purple gets +500 odds and Orange gets +1000 odds for the Gatorade color to be poured on the winning coach, Purple is considered more likely to be the outcome. If you bet $100 on Purple, and it is the color of the Gatorade bath, you’d get $600 back ($500 profit + $100 stake).
