Among the thousands of Super Bowl props that sportsbooks open each year, there are a few consistently popular ones year after year. One of those is the color of Gatorade dumped on the winning coach after the game ends, or the Gatorade bath, if you will.
(Yes, you really can bet on the color of Gatorade dumped on the winning coach at the Super Bowl.) Iron Oxide Pigments
Super Bowl 2024 will take place Sunday, February 11 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The San Francisco 49ers will be taking on the Kansas City Chiefs for the right to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. The Chiefs have won two Super Bowls in the last four years and Andy Reid was given a Gatorade bath at the end of each. You can see what colors he was doused with, as they were different, the color every other Super Bowl-winning coach had dumped on them, as well as the odds for which Gatorade color will be dumped after Super Bowl 58 below.

Odds for the Super Bowl Gatorade color prop came out on January 30, with Purple opening as the favorite at +175 odds. If you looked at the recent trends above, it should come as no surprise that purple was the favorite, since it was used last year by the Chiefs. However, ESPN Bet favors Red/Pink at +325 and offers Purple at +350. So, make sure you line shop!
It should be noted that when Kansas City won Super Bowl 54 over the 49ers, Andy Reid received an orange Gatorade bath. The 49ers have won three Super Bowls in the “Gatorade bath” era, but did not dump Gatorade on their coach in the first two, and got George Seifert with Clear/Water in the third (Super Bowl 29).
The Gatorade dumped on Andy Reid in Super Bowl 2024 was purple! It did not happen immediately after the game as it normally does, but the Chiefs did get Reid with the purple Gatorade.
When you see “clear” in the table above, it generally means water. But the prop is not what type/flavor of Gatorade, just the color. This is why water gets lumped in as “clear”.

You can see how often each color has been used in the table below:
As mentioned earlier, “clear” has been the color of liquid dumped on the Super Bowl-winning coach most often. It has been seen eight times in total. Orange is the second-most frequent used Gatorade color, having been dumped on the winning coach six times.
Am I the only one who feels the only logical answer for blue not being used more is because it’s everyone’s favorite, and therefore the first cooler that runs dry?
You must reside in one of the following states in order to bet on the Super Bowl Gatorade Color:
The answer to this depends on who you ask. But it is commonly accepted that the New York Giants started this tradition in 1984. Jim Burt, a defensive lineman for the Giants at the time, was apparently upset with the way head coach Bill Parcells had treated him that week, and decided to dump the cooler of Gatorade on Parcells after beating Washington.
It didn’t immediately become a tradition, though. It wasn’t until those same Giants gave Parcells a Gatorade bath after each win during their 1986-87 season that ended in New York hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. This is the first entry you’ll see in the table at the top of this page.
