Will UF Have A Nike Pro Combat Uniform? They Will.

These are horrible. I hate them almost as much as the one-sleeve deal we wore against Georgia a few years ago (2005?).

The worst part is that, according to what I’ve seen, these will be worn against FSU in the Swamp. That means the last home game of Tim Tebow’s career will be played in these monstrosities.

The white helmets are traditional, and the jerseys and pants (from this one angle) seem fairly minimalist. That’s a good thing. Of course, this is Nike we’re talking about, so it’s impossible to have a truly minimalist uniform. I’m sure the back of the jersey is Gator skin or something. I’ve never really been in love with the script helmets. I don’t necessarily want them changed, but I wouldn’t be heartbroken if they did.

Orange jerseys NEVER EVER EVER.

‘Sokay. Like the catfish said (and whoever thought they’d be typing that phrase?) they’re pretty restrained – if they were paired with the standard orange & script helmet (which I really like, by the way), they wouldn’t be that different from the standard all-blue kit we trot out two or three games a season already. The problem with this version – at least in this view – is that there’s no damned orange, except that one weenie helmet stripe. Of course, if you added some orange stripes in the proper spots, and plopped an orange helmet on the guy’s head, you’d have… well, you’d have our existing all-blue unis. Hey, here’s an idea…

I like what we’ve been wearing so far this season….when I was a younger man, I used to think that uniform variations were cool. I remember an FSU game when the team changed into blue pants after warming up but before kickoff. Now, I just like normlity. The throwbacks for the one game in 2006 to commemorate the 100th year was fine. But let’s leave the special uniforms to UGA. We don’t need it – I like our traditional unis. I like the Gator script helmets. I like tradition.

Remember that time that Alabama came out wearing the black helmets and crimson pants? Exactly.

Just as a side note, one of my friends who is a big USC guy told me that Under Armour (who designs their unis) has a special camoflauge version that they will be wearing in this weekend’s game in honor of Veteran’s Day. I am not sure if it will be normal camo patterns, or just camo to look like a football field, with all green and some white has marks…..stay tuned.

No reason to change the uniforms. Florida’s jerseys are clean and classic and, dare I say, iconic at this point. I did not like when Michigan messed around with their uniforms a few years ago and I do not like these. But I would be OK with seeing the orange throwbacks one of these days (hey, I was a child of the 90s, they were just urban legend to me).

but for a change of pace, they are not bad…different for sure. I think orange would look AWESOME!!! Have you seen the Miami Dolphins orange unis they are pimp! If they are anything like that, I will buy one.

Wildcats?

Nike had a uni for the basketall team a few years back that was black w/alligator scales…it looked pretty sharp…I reckoned it would come to the football uni’s but hasn’t yet…this would’ve been the time to do so…

sleeves in basketball it like the new trend for players, ever since that kid for OU did it last year. it used to be those short arm sleeves and wrist bands, now it straight up sleeves. I love this look its bad ass… but not to be racist or ahytning here so no one bite my head off….sleeves wouldnt look good on white players the sleeves deal is all black (african american) players.
