Super Bowl Gatorade Color Odds: What Color Gatorade Will Be Thrown on the Winning Coach?

It started with Jim Burt, a defensive lineman for the New York Giants who playfully dumped a cooler full of Gatorade over the head of coach Bill Parcells after a big win in the 1985 season. It reached a new level when linebacker Harry Carson did the same to Parcells after the G-Men won the Super Bowl following the 1986 campaign. And in the process, a tradition – as well as a sports betting staple – was born.

The “Gatorade shower” – or Gatorade bath – has become as much a part of the NFL’s championship game as confetti-strewn celebrations and the dazzling Super Bowl halftime show. Now, Super Bowl odds often include wagers on the color of the Gatorade dumped on the winning head coach – which turned out to be purple last season, as coach Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs celebrated their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Phoenix.  Also look for variations on the wager on the Super Bowl betting sites, like how many coolers will be dumped (some teams get the coordinators, too), and the position of the players doing the dousing.

Just be aware that not every U.S. jurisdiction with legal sports betting allows wagering on novelty Super Bowl prop bets like the Super Bowl Gatorade color, so if you don't see odds listed, that's probably why.

Super Bowl Gatorade Color Odds: What’s the Most Popular Color?

What color will be dumped on the winning coach at Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday? Since 2001, orange has been the most popular color of Gatorade used by championship-winning teams, though that hue hasn’t been employed since Reid and the Chiefs won Super Bowl LIV four years ago. Two of the past three years, the color has been blue. Occasionally, there’s no Gatorade shower at all.

Here is the are the latest odds of the first bucket of Gatorade poured on the winning head coach released by the Super Bowl betting sites:

The colors worn by participating teams sometimes offer a clue to the Gatorade shower odds offered by  NFL betting apps. The Rams dumped blue Gatorade on coach Sean McVay after Super Bowl 56, the Patriots blue on coach Bill Belichick after both Super Bowls 53 and 49, the Broncos orange on coach Gary Kubiak after Super Bowl 50, the Steelers yellow on coach Mike Tomlin after Super Bowl 43. The Eagles’ presence likely helped boost yellow/green to the top of the board last year.
