Super Bowl Gatorade Color: Prop Bet Odds & Past Winners

The tradition of giving the winning coach a Gatorade shower has been around since the mid-1980s, with several sources crediting the first occurrence during a New York Giants regular season game on October 28, 1984.

This celebratory practice gained larger national attention during the 1986 NFL season, when head coach Bill Parcells was doused 17 times after every Giants victory throughout the regular season and playoffs — culminating in a Super Bowl XXI victory.

Super Bowl Gatorade Color Odds

Is there a correlation between the winning Super Bowl team and their Gatorade color preference?

Since 2001, five NFL teams have won multiple Super Bowls: the Patriots, Buccaneers, Steelers, Ravens and Giants.

Of those teams, only the Patriots have had the same color Gatorade shower more than once, with blue occurring in 2019 & 2015. In three of their six Super Bowl wins, there was no Gatorade shower — which would result in a bet being void.
