Super Bowl 58 Gatorade Color Odds: Which Color Will Andy Reid or Kyle Shanahan Be Showered With This Year?

Each year, as the Super Bowl winds down, millions of people eagerly wait to see the winning coach receive the celebratory Gatorade shower. Or bath, depending on which method of drenching you like to use.

Across sports, the flowing and throwing of liquids is often a big part of championship celebrations and celebrating big wins.

For example, in MLB, bubbly beverages get broken out when teams win the World Series, win playoff series, or clinch division titles or playoff berths.

The champions of the English Premier League or Rugby World Cup, the winners of the Ryder Cup, and race winners in various series from NASCAR to Formula 1 all do the same.

In football, the Gatorade shower is synonymous with celebrating championships and big wins. Most frequently, you will see college football coaches get doused when teams score a major victory, but the most famous Gatorade shower occurs at the Super Bowl each year.

The Super Bowl Gatorade shower has the notoriety it does not only because the Super Bowl is such a major event, but also because of the unique betting interest the NFL title tilt generates. No other championship celebration draws the same interest.

Today, either Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs or Kyle Shanahan of the San Francisco 49ers will get a Gatorade bath at the end of Super Bowl 58 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas (6:30 pm ET, CBS).

For Reid, it would be his third time in five years, following the Chiefs’ wins in Super Bowl LIV (over the Niners) and Super Bowl LVII (over the Philadelphia Eagles). Shanahan, meanwhile, would join his father, two-time champion Mike Shanahan, as a Super Bowl-winning head coach

But which color will it be on Super Bowl Sunday in 2024? Super Bowl 58 Gatorade color odds have been released at online sports betting sites like BetOnline, Bovada, and BetUS.

What Was the Winning Color in 2023?

After the Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, head coach Andy Reid received a shower of purple Gatorade. Purple (+1000) had the longest odds to be the winning color, so those who bet on the color had a nice payday.

Winning Super Bowl Gatorade Colors (Since 2002)

With purple now sitting with such a short number atop Super Bowl 58 Gatorade color odds, should those who have bet on that color feel confident about their bets cashing tonight?

As the great Lee Corso says, “Not so fast, my friend.” Based on results over the last decade-plus, a repeat for purple is not a likely outcome. Since 2011, the Super Bowl Gatorade color has been the same in consecutive years only once. That was in 2021 and 2022, following the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ and Los Angeles Rams’ wins in Super Bowl LV and Super Bowl LVI, respectively.

Recent Super Bowl Gatorade color history may or may not be relevant, but there is something worth noting. In the two-decade stretch above, three Super Bowls ended in “walk-off” fashion: 2002 (Super Bowl XXXVI), 2004 (Super Bowl XXXVIII), and 2017 (Super Bowl LI).

In each win–all by the Patriots–no Gatorade shower occurred, rendering color bets a push.

“None” is not offered as a Gatorade color betting option, but with that pattern and NFL playoff results in mind, should it be? Perhaps.

Super Bowl Gatorade Shower History

The Gatorade shower first started during the 1984 NFL season, and it is fair to assume that the alleged originator would not have expected to see it become what it is now.

Prior to an NFC East rivalry showdown between the New York Giants and Washington Redskins (now the Washington Commanders) in Week 9 of the 1984 season, Giants head coach Bill Parcells reportedly and repeatedly needled nose tackle Jim Burt about how Washington’s Pro Bowl center, Jeff Bostic, was going to have the best of him.

The Giants handily dispatched their rivals 37-13, and Burt enlisted the services of future Hall of Fame linebacker Harry Carson to surprise Parcells with America’s favorite sports drink.

The Gatorade shower did not become a part of Super Bowl lore until the 1986 season, however.

That season, Parcells received a dousing after all 17 of the Giants’ wins, including their 39-20 win over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI.

Some years have not featured a Super Bowl Gatorade shower due to weather or other circumstances.

Mostly recently, when the New England Patriots famously rallied from a 28-3 deficit and defeated the Atlanta Falcons in overtime in Super Bowl 51 in 2017, Patriots coach Bill Belichick did not receive the traditional ambush.

How to Bet the Right Shower Color

When you are making your Super Bowl LVIII bets and trying to determine what color of Gatorade you think will be part of the championship celebrations, there are no tried-and-true tips to follow.

The best advice is to not take Gatorade betting seriously. There are many serious Super Bowl betting options, but this is not one of them. Have fun with it. And if you have a rooting interest in the game, hopefully both your team and bets win.

Which way should you lean with your Super Bowl 57 Gatorade color bets?

In recent Super Bowls, orange tops the list, with their five appearances coming in the past 14 games. However, blue has been the most popular color recently, getting the honors three times in five years.

The betting favorite is not always the way to go. Nor is aligning with team colors, especially this year, given how unloved red, a team color for both the 49ers and Chiefs, is.

Having the knowledge of what color Gatorade the teams use would be helpful, but that info is hard to find.

Even if that information was available, it would seem likely that teams would use a different color than usual, given that it’s no secret that people love to bet on the Super Bowl Gatorade color.

Could This Year’s Color Result Throw Up Another Surprise?

Could we see another surprise Gatorade color result?

Along with purple pulling the major upset, blue wasn’t the favorite in 2021 or 2022 but came out on top.

How about red? It is certainly long overdue to have a place in the Super Bowl spotlight, and its place on the list makes it a very intriguing choice, especially because red is a team color for both of this year’s Super Bowl participants.

Sure, red liquids are renowned for the stains they leave, but that shouldn’t matter much in this context. Also, fruit punch has long been one of the most popular Gatorade flavors.

Of course, flavor popularity is meaningless with regards to Super Bowl Gatorade color betting. But it is as deserving to be the color of champions as any of the other colors.
