Florida Gators reveal blue helmets

The last time Florida wore the Blue/Blue/White combination? 55 years ago vs Miami. The combination has only been worn 3 times in history; 1964 vs FSU (L), 1964 vs LSU (W), and 1965 vs Miami (L). The Gators will look to go 2–2 in the combination with a victory over Mizzou.

Florida turned to a helmet many fans are VERY familiar with when preparing the blue helmets; the 2017 Swamp Green helmets. That’s right, the 2017 Swamp Green helmets were reconditioned into the blue helmets the Gators will wear on Saturday.
Figures, fukin Foley:shake: Can't even buy new helmets. We have to take the old Green Ones to Maaco for a quick overspray.

Guarantee you they start peeling during the game. There will be flaps hanging off them. They were probably done with rattle cans by the janitor.

My biggest complaint about these uniform switches is that we do it for the wrong games. Mizzou is at least a little better choice, as we should win. But even last year's Auburn game was way too much of a gamble. Why risk spoiling a uniform combo forever by it always being associated with a loss? I like the look fine, though I do prefer last year's throwback. But if we lose Saturday, I'll want them burned.
I'm thinking our team smokes weed like they are in Oregon, might as well change the uniforms like them as well.

Probably not the defensive backs though. They've been coming out of the game with their uniforms looking like they just ran out of the tunnel.

as usual I don;t give a fvkk about the unis b/c that has no bearing on how shytty many of our coaches and players are.

On a positive note I saw it was a nite game so the guy who was complaining we played only noon games. But I saw it was on the SEC ALT channel which means I have to buy the super dooper size rabbit ears and 500 feet of aluminum foil!

OK...

...I like doing throwbacks from different eras for homecoming. It's not about the opponent, it's about homecoming.

It's a little weird that homecoming was South Carolina before it was Mizzou (rescheduled) but it's 2020, it's Covid, and nothing makes sense any more. So do we have 2 homecomings in 2020 or 0 homecomings? Who knows? Who cares? Just roll with it.

I also like the black shoes.


Alex.

They had some extra paint left over from the lockeroom renovation

We’re gonna look so good on tv having those receivers run past us in those uniforms...thrilled

I agree

Those all white unis with gold and black stripes. They will look like they are speed boats flying across the blue water

at least we are sure those gray green things aren't coming back again

Are we though? I'd like to believe that, but I wouldn't be surprised to see us do that crap again.

I mean after having not much to talk about for a few weeks, it's at least something different. :dunno:
