Splish splash (I was taking a bath).

I imagine that's what Super Bowl-winning coaches sing in their heads as they receive the traditional Gatorade bath. The Gatorade Color prop has become popular at our best Super Bowl betting sites.

These props will start showing up much closer to the 2025 Super Bowl, but in the meantime, we have you covered with what prop bets you may expect to see and the history of the tradition below.

It's not quite the halftime show, but who doesn't enjoy seeing the winning coach get doused with a bucket of sugary liquid? As the Big Game wraps up, all eyes will turn to the winning coach to see what color his Gatorade bath might be.

Our Super Bowl predictions and the Super Bowl odds agree Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs could be back for another crack at the title in 2025. Will purple be the color for a third straight season?

Super Bowl Gatorade color 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:

Except for a few years, we've witnessed most winning coaches getting drenched in Gatorade after most Super Bowls since the tradition started in 1987 at Super Bowl 21. Since Super Bowl 35, with the exception of a few years with 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: 3

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 (e.g., +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 (e.g., +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).
