The result for the 2025 Super Bowl Gatorade color prop is in: Nick Sirianni was doused in yellow/green Gatorade as the Eagles defeated the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 at the Caesars Superdome.
Here's everything you need to know about betting on the Super Bowl Gatorade color, including pregame odds for every color and history of the tradition.
Among the myriad of non-football betting options available for the Super Bowl, the color of the Gatorade dumped on the winning coach is up there with the most popular. The tradition of dumping Gatorade over the winning team's head coach dates back more than 35 years and emerged as a betting option in 2006. It took with the overturn of PASPA in 2018 when mobile sports betting became lega.

Odds via DraftKings as of Sunday, Feb. 9.
The favorite to be dumped over the winning coach this year was yellow/green at +110, and those bets hit. It's been a ride for yellow/green odds, starting the week at +250 and then jumping to a -225 favorite. It remains the favorite as kickoff nears, but is now priced at +110. The last time yellow or green was used was by the Eagles (yellow) in 2018.
It's worth noting that the Chiefs, who are the two-time defending champs, dumped purple over Reid after each of their last two Super Bowl victories. Naturally, purple is second behind yellow/green on the odds board at +125.
The last team to dump orange (+800), coincidentally, was also the Chiefs after their 2020 Super Bowl win.
Also on the odds board were…
- Red, which has not been used by any team dating back to 2001.
- Blue, which has been used in three of the last six years, most recently by the Rams in 2022.
- Clear, which hasn't been used since the 2008 Giants.
- No Gatorade bath, which last occurred when the Patriots were likely too scared to face Bill Belichick's ire in 2017. DraftKings has pulled the "No Gatorade bath" option as kickoff nears.

Orange has been the most frequent outcome of the Super Bowl Gatorade dump in the data that goes back 24 years to the 2001 Super Bowl won by the Baltimore Ravens.
As you'll note, purple is in a four-way tie for second-most. Given that purple has been used in each of the last two Super Bowls, it's important to note that over a 22-year history prior to 2023, the color was used just twice.

Is the Winning Team's Color a Factor in Which Color Gatorade Gets Used?
The short answer is no.
Yes, you can find examples of teams dumping one of their primary colors on their coach after winning the Super Bowl.
- The Broncos dumped orange Gatorade on Gary Kubiak in 2016.
- The Steelers dumped yellow Gatorade on Mike Tomlin in 2009.
- The Patriots dumped blue on Bill Belichick in 2015 and 2019.
- The Rams dumped blue on Sean McVay in 2022.
- The Chiefs dumped orange on Andy Reid in 2020.
Still, there have been 12 Super Bowl champions since 2001 whose primary colors include red. Yet, as you saw above, nary a team has dumped red on their head coach in the last 24 years.
There's a simple answer as to why.
According to a report by The Athletic ahead of the 2022 Super Bowl that quotes an anonymous former Gatorade executive, which colors are used on each sideline are selected by Gatorade — not the teams — and they're intentionally randomized, with up to three different flavors used on each sideline.
That's right: the color in the bucket picked up by the players doing the deed can't possibly be known until the moment that bucket is picked up. The best anyone could do is narrow it down to two or three colors.
Where Can You Bet on the Gatorade Color?
The first time the Gatorade color bet was available at legal sportsbooks in the United States was for the 2019 Super Bowl. In general, getting states to allow the color of the Gatorade for bettors has been problematic and varies from year to year and state to state.
If you are looking to bet the Gatorade color at this year's Super Bowl, look under Novelty Props at your sportsbook of choice.
