Of all the Super Bowl props that sportsbooks offer, none are quite as fun as betting on the color of the Gatorade poured on the winning head coach.
It’s one of the final sweats of the Super Bowl, making it a fun way to stay engaged even after the game clock strikes 0:00.

Let’s dig into the history of the Super Bowl Gatorade bath and make some Super Bowl 60 Gatorade Color predictions for Patriots vs Seahawks.
Super Bowl Gatorade Color Odds
NFL odds used for these Super Bowl Gatorade prop bets are current as of Wednesday, Jan. 28, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
- Blue (+200)
- Orange (+250)
- Yellow/Lime or Green (+260)
- Purple (+800)
- Red/Pink (+1100)
- Water/Clear (+1100)
This year, we’ve got three clear front-runners in the Super Bowl Gatorade Color betting market: blue, orange, and yellow/green.
These odds make a lot of sense when you consider that the Patriots dumped blue Gatorade on Bill Belichick following their most recent Super Bowl victory in 2019, and the Seahawks tossed orange Gatorade on Pete Carroll after winning the Lombardi Trophy in 2014.
Seattle’s primary uniform colors are blue and green, so having Lemon Lime Gatorade in the mix as well is more than reasonable.

What Color Was Last Year’s Gatorade Bath?
Super Bowl 59 Gatorade Color: Yellow/Lime or Green
Last year, the Philadelphia Eagles ended the Kansas City Chiefs’ quest for a historic three-peat.
In the process, it also ended a run of purple Gatorade baths, as Chiefs players had doused coach Andy Reid with the same color after their triumphs in Super Bowls 57 and 58.
Philadelphia dumped yellow Gatorade on head coach Nick Sirianni. The Eagles also used it when Nick Foles led them to victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl 52.
Will we see the same result again this year if Seattle defeats New England?

Super Bowl Gatorade Color History
To help us make our Super Bowl Gatorade Color predictions, we have dug into the history of which color has been most prevalent over the years.
The conclusion? Well, everyone does their own thing, and one Gatorade color truly hasn’t stood out.
- Wager on Patriots vs Seahawks at the best Super Bowl betting sites.
The most shocking realization is that red, a longstanding favorite of the public, has not had a single Super Bowl moment.
Here is a breakdown of Gatorade colors dumped on winning coaches since Super Bowl 35:
- Orange (5)
- Yellow (4)
- None (4)
- Clear (4)
- Blue (4)
- Purple (4)
- Red (0)
Orange has been the most prominent Gatorade color at the Super Bowl, but it hasn’t featured since Patrick Mahomes won his first Super Bowl in 2020.
Blue has been the biggest winner in recent years, featuring in three of the previous seven Super Bowls.
We’ve had four Super Bowls go without a Gatorade bath since 2001. The last time was in 2017, when the Patriots overcame a 28-3 deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons in overtime.
Super Bowl Gatorade Color Bet
Color of Gatorade First Poured On Winning Coach: Yellow/Lime or Green (+260)
For whatever reason, we’ve seen a few mini runs of the same Gatorade color popping up in recent years, with back-to-back blues (2021 and 2022) preceding purples (2023 and 2024) before last year’s yellow.
I’m backing the trend of consecutive hits and putting my money on Lemon Lime Gatorade.
The Seahawks are 4.5-point favorites over the Patriots, and green is one of their uniform colors, so this feels like a fitting pick for one of my best NFL bets today.
