Why haven't they tried the gator head logo on the side of the helmet? I know we have some expert photoshoppers that could give us a prototype...

I'm not a huge fan of the white helmets but I can handle it for one game. It is a lot better than the crap Meyer had them wear against uga, orange helmets w' no center stripe. It was awful!

Edit: I think it was 2010

I think it's largely perception. We love those block helmets, in part at least, because of how that 2006 game against the Tide played out en route to a title. The F helmets, in contrast, will always remind me of a team and program that had lost its way and had gotten too cute in Tebow's final year. I'm honestly not sure we've ever played well in them despite numerous attempts and varying degree of opponents. It's actually remarkable.

I just wonder how our feelings may have differed if we'd lost that '06 game, and won in '09. Similar to how I cringe when I see the orange, which brings me back to 80's childhood horrors in BHG, while the blue makes me think of those great 90's Spurrier years. May be wrong but I think that definitely has a hand in things.

Well, the other thing for me is I really hate the new font they use now. So that doesn't help.

Maybe, or maybe the block F is just far superior to that transgendered f

I love the Gator head logo, I think it's one of the best in college sports. But don't put it on a helmet. Ever. Doesn't look right.

I'd make a specific trip to Phan's Tailgate Party to catch a glimpse of this. Just imagine a tighter fitting, slightly shear white t-shirt with the orange "Gators" script, 98° - 100% humidity day, with sweat dripping down the...
