What to put on the sign

β€œWinning without you would be a DEFEAT. HOCO?”

One line, big letters. If it needs a second read, cut it down.

The plan

Grab an orange Gatorade cooler and tell them the team wants to celebrate. When they lift the lid expecting the usual, it is empty except for a note taped to the inside and their favorite bottle sitting in the bottom. No actual dumping needed, the fake-out is the whole gag.
