Super Bowl Gatorade Color Odds: Orange You Going to Bet?
The Ceremonial Liquid Bath Is Typically Orange But…
The Super Bowl Odds Now Favor New Color
Kansas City Chiefs or Philadelphia? Who cares. The real game is betting on what color the liquid for the ceremonial Super Bowl Gatorade Color Odds coach’s bath will be. The Super Bowl Gatorade color odds originally opened with orange (+300) as the favorite. But since then, money has come in on yellow/green (Ev), which has not been since… the Philadelphia Eagles last won the Super Bowl. So will yellow make a comeback or will it be orange or blue yet again?
Blue and Orange Have Been Favorites in Recent Years
Since Super Bowl 44 back in 2010, two colors have been the staple of these coaches’ baths: blue (+850) and orange. The former was used four times in this span and the latter, a leading five times. Hence, the two typically are favored on the Super Bowl Gatorade color odds.
Blue was also used in three of the last four Super Bowl victories, which include the Los Angeles Rams in 2022, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021, and the New England Patriots in 2019. As for orange, it was used the last time the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2020.
The blue and orange Gatorades are two of the most popular flavors for a sports drink. Blue, also known as “Cool Blue”, topped the polls as recently as January 2021. For whatever reason, both fans and athletes are partial to this flavor. It could be because of its color or its taste. Either way, it’s been a favorite among some Super Bowl champions in recent years.
As for orange, Gatorade’s original flavor only ranked fifth in the poll that put Cool Blue at the top. NFL prop betting consistently place’s this near the top simply because it’s still a popular flavor.
Color Schemes Do Not Match
Regarding finding a “winning strategy” for this betting market, never use color schemes to determine the color of the Gatorade. Sure, the Eagles’ green was sort of a match with the yellow they poured on Doug Pederson when they won in 2018. But past results have bucked this idea and it is not one of the Super Bowl best bets.
Just have a look at the winning NFL team’s primary color versus the color of the liquid of the bath in recent Super Bowls:
| year | Team | Color of the liquid |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 |  Los Angeles Rams (Blue) | Blue Liquid |
| 2021 |  Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Red) | Blue Liquid |
| 2020 |  Kansas City Chiefs (Red) | Orange Liquid |
| 2019 |  New England Patriots (Blue) | Blue Liquid |
| 2018 |  Philadelphia Eagles (Green) | Yellow/Green Liquid |
| 2017 | New England Patriots (Blue) | None |
| 2016 |  Denver Broncos (Orange) | Orange Liquid |
| 2015 | New England Patriots (Blue) | Blue Liquid |
| 2014 |  Seattle Seahawks (Blue) | Orange Liquid |
| 2013 |  Baltimore Ravens (Purple) | None |
Going by that 10-game sample, the liquids “matched” the team’s primary color only five times. So it’s a 50/50 shot with that shortlist.
But if we go back earlier from 2012 to 2001 when the Baltimore Ravens won its first title, only two of these 12 winners matched the liquid with their primary color. That is only a 41.1 percent match rate taking all this into consideration.
And of the Other Colors?
Other colors (or lack thereof) on the board are Red/Pink (+650), Clear (+650), and Purple (+1400). Of the three, clear has been used the most since 2001. A total of four champions used it in consecutive years from 2005 to 2008. But ever since, it hasn’t been used.
As for Purple, this was used by the Buccaneers in their first Super Bowl victory in 20023 and by the New York Giants in their second win over the New England Patriots in 2012. Since then, no winning team has used it. And red/pink has not been used since 2001.
However, according to an anonymous former Gatorade exec from 2021, teams do have multiple coolers of drinks they can pick from.
“Nobody can actually tell you what flavor it’ll be,” the former exec says. “The best guess they could give you is the two or three options.”
So even if none of these three colors were used in the last decade, there is still a chance that the NFL players grab the cooler that contains one of them. It’s anyone’s guess as to which of the three will be made available if they are. But per their not-too-long Super Bowl Gatorade color odds, we could see one of these make a comeback.
