Color of Gatorade Bath Prop Bet - Super Bowl 2026

Blue would seem to be a top value pick when it comes to the Gatorade bath color in Super Bowl 2026.  The rationale here is that both teams - the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks - incorporate a blue color scheme into their uniforms and logo.  Blue pays out $260 for every $100 bet.

History of the Gatorade Bath

The Gatorade bath is said to have originated from one of two incidents.

In the mid-80's when Jim Burt performed the action on Giants head coach Bill Parcells after being angered over the coach's treatment of him that week.

Burt insisted that Harry Carson be the one to dump the Gatorade on Parcells, because he was a favorite and wouldn't get in trouble.

Former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Dan Hampton insists it was he who invented the shower, not Jim Burt.  In 1984, his team dunked Bears head coach Mike Ditka with a bucket of Gatorade upon clinching the NFC Central.
