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.

No Correlation Between the Bath and Team Uniforms Usually
If we had to guess, red Gatorade will end up the most wagered of the colors for this year's bath. That's because both Tampa Bay and Kansas City have a very red color scheme, from uniform to team insignia.
It's a common fallacy to link the Gatorade color to a team's uniform. This has been demonstrated throughout the years.
The 2014 Super Bowl was won by the Seattle Seahawks. Its color scheme is blue, silver and bright green. The Gatorade bath that year was orange.
Green Gatorade was used to dump over 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh. There is no green to be found in the 49ers uniform or insignia.
Green Bay's 2011 Super Bowl win did not include the popular green Gatorade color.
