Nothing has changed since those old days when the NFL tradition of dousing the head coach of the winning team in the Super Bowl was established, once the game is decided and the winning team begins to celebrate. Well, nothing, except for the color of the liquid with which the coveted soaking is given and that has even become a topic of interest for betting lines, on a par with other more interesting fields of Super Sunday.

The color that is almost ruled out
Well, the color of the famous Gatorade brand sports drink that lies in the containers next to the benches of both teams competing in the Super Bowl is a mystery once the date of the big game arrives, and this LIX edition will be no exception, so there are already bets running to guess what color the liquid will be this time.
According to statistics, last year’s Super Bowl LVIII does not determine anything, as the bath for coach Andy Reid was with purple liquid, the same with which he was soaked a year earlier, so it is unlikely that this year, if the Chiefs beat the Eagles in New Orleans, it will be of that hue again. It would be very obvious.
What are the chances in this 2025 edition?
In 2020, Andy Reid was also the one ‘bathed’ but on that occasion the Gatorade was orange, and it is precisely this color that leads the betting lines at +200, while yellow/green is second, blue is in third place and purple has a line of +1000
However, there is also the fact that on this occasion, as in 2013 and 2017, there will be no bath for the winning coach, the same one that Bill Bellichick and John Harbaugh were spared.
