The winning team at the Super Bowl usually tends to shower their head coach with Gatorade and there's often a bet on what the color of the sports drink will be. This form of celebration has become part of the Super Bowl tradition.
Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid or San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan is likely to have Gatorade poured on them at the end of the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 11, at Allegiant Stadium. It's important to note that this form of celebration does not happen every season, but tends to happen more often than not and has now become a tradition at the Super Bowl.
The Gatorade tradition began in 1986 when New York Giants nose tackle Jim Burt and some of his teammates poured a cooler of the sports drink coach over Bill Parcells' head. This was after the team beat the then-Washington Redskins in the NFC Championship game.
Similar celebrations took place when the Giants beat the Denver Broncos at the Super Bowl and since then, the tradition has been followed quite regularly at the big game.
