Florida Gators Nike Pro Combat Uniform Pictures

 

This uniform is more than a uniform. It’s like stepping into a live alligator skin – it’s fast, it’s nasty, it’s lightweight, and it stays dry in The Swamp. It lets everyone in the Sunshine State know there is one school that can wear the “F” of Florida on their helmet. It says to others that the old boys of Florida are here for a scrap, and we got 90,000 other Gators on our side. It says we’ve got pride in our state, our school and our team, and we’ll do whatever it takes to honor that. It says that if you’re not wearing the Orange and Blue, you’re Gator Bait, son. And in The Swamp, ONLY GATORS GET OUT ALIVE. It’s the Florida Nike Pro Combat uniform – it’s ready for battle.”

When asked about wearing a non-traditional uniform for his home finale, Tebow had mixed emotions. “You love the jersey that you played in your last four years,” he said. “But also, you’re going to have a new jersey, and it will be something that’s cool and special to th is one game.” Good perspective.

notice

I saw that FSU was wearing uniforms like that last week in there final home game, and thought the wings on the shoulder looked a little out of place for a FSU jersey. Seeing the uniform in blue and orange is much better as garnett and gold are the ugliest colors ever, but the wing like things on each shoulder how do they fit in with a mascot thats an alligator besides the fact that birds are food for gators in the wild. I see how the wing like things work for Oregon as they are the ducks but if it was a gator head, or a pattern that looked like gator skin they’d look cooler

but

the gloves are awesome im digging the gator logo on the palms

by bengatorfan on Nov 23, 2009 11:17 AM EST reply actions  

Those are supposed to be wings?

They look more like the spyrograph creation I made when I was 6.

These uniforms are ridiculous. It is Nike’s weak attempt to regain some of the market share that Under Armour took away from them.

Gimmicky uniforms are for other programs that are on the slide….not the top team in the country.

I agree

these are effing terrible, and I’m pissed that Tebow and the rest of the seniors have to wear these monstrous corporate ad campaigns for their last home game in the Swamp.

Bad move by Foley or whoever is responsible for this decision.

What are you ppl Kurt Cobain tryin to fight the Man? Get off the jerseys woods theyre sick. and they arent supposed to be wings the FSU’s homo jerseys had wings on the shoulders, ours have the curvey line design thing. Its for one game just get over it and enjoy the beat down who cares what they look like its the same guys.

It dont matter what the Gators are wearing theyre going to win in whatever you put on them, Its not the uniforms that win its the players wearing them.

just because

we are playing a clown college, doesn’t mean we have to dress like clowns.

HaHa

Clown College huh? Its funny cause blue & orange are fitting for clown colors. I can remember a time not to long ago when it was the Noles on top of yall. 14 Straight Seasons finishing in the Top 5. This might be your 2nd year, so in 12years from now we’ll see if ya’’ll come close to what we did. Now im not coming in here and saying FSU is gonna beat UF cause im not stupid. Hell with our Defense, or lack thereof, it’ll prob be ugly. Give it a year or two and the rivalry will be #1 vs #2 again,

While the 14 straight seasons thing is extremely impressive

it has to be discounted somewhat because the ACC was so decrepit back then. While it still isn’t easy to do by any stretch- it is easier when you only have 2 quality opponents per year (UF and Miami).

Since that string has ended, how many seasons has it been now that yall are outside the Top 5?

Pretty sure you Noles’ve been saying that ever since Urban showed up. Law of averages says you’ll be right. Eventually.

Yeah

If FSu was at least decent then they could be dominating the ACC

FSU has no chance to beat Florida this year

however next year I like our chances. We’ll have a new defensive staff, Ponder back as well as everyone on offense back, and we play at home. You will be losing your qb, best linebacker, best cornerback, some offensive lineman, and some other ones that will join the draft. Expect a 45-21 Gator win this weekend. Next year….I’m not so sure.

by 1newplayer on Nov 27, 2009 6:37 PM EST up reply actions  

Ha

Y’all said that same thing last year…what happened again? oh right, Bowden and crew got embarrassed at home, on Bowden Field, lets wait a few decades before your wishes finally come true at some point in time. And you forget those “best players” have ones just as good as them sitting on the bench waiting for their chance to kick you ppl right in the teeth again and again and again.

by gatorempire127 on Nov 27, 2009 11:57 PM EST up reply actions  

FSU's future

Isn’t the “defensive staff” you’re so eager to replace the same one that brought you all those great seasons in the late 80s and early 90s??!! FSU was always known to have a great defense in those years – led by dirty Mickey Andrews who coached players to hit to he echo. What’s different now?

Also, 21 points by the ’Noles (as stated in your prediction) would make the most points scored against the Gators all season…..

by skigator93 on Nov 28, 2009 9:51 AM EST up reply actions  

HAHAHAHHAHAH

we never said the same thing last year. At least not any Nole with sense. And waiting a few decades? Funny how history works with your dense Gator minds. It took you over a decade to beat us at home in the 90’s. Actually 1986-2004.Check yourself before you talk smack. You look like a idiot.

by 1newplayer on Nov 28, 2009 10:39 AM EST up reply actions  

skigator

I’ll let you off the hook a bit because at least you have some sense. Although calling Mickey Andrews dirty? C’mon not even close. Sadly the game has passed him by. Kinda happens when your son commits suicide and family becomes more important than football. Our positional coaches have changed as well and most of them are idiots. In terms of history though with Mickey.. he will go down as one of the greatest ever.

by 1newplayer on Nov 28, 2009 10:43 AM EST up reply actions  

I'll give you that

I think Andrews WAS once one of the great defensive minds in football (well, that and he could recruit the best athletes in the nation – Sanders, Brooks, enough said), and I am sorry to hear about this family as I didn’t know that. But it is sad that, like Bobby, he stayed a few years too long.

1new player – you are alright in my book.

I don’t think I look like an idiot though….yall were only half-way to 20, and that took a score against our second string.

by skigator93 on Nov 28, 2009 8:02 PM EST up reply actions  

yeah game was sad

like I said we had no chance with Manuel. Next year maybe. We’ll see. FSU has become a shell of what it once was and it is because our administration who gives in to old men with hidden agenda’s. Good game today for UF and next year we will be a better team. If I were you I would be hoping for one more year of Bobby. I know I would if I hated the Noles. Good luck next weekend skigator.

thanks man

5 more years of Bobby!!! I’m with Charlie Ward and company!!!

although he might not have 5 more years. I think the writing is on the wall.

I feel sorry for Bowded

FSU fans are so quick to claim how great they were 85-2000. But then they give Bowden no respect. As if he has nothing to do with it. Learn from Penn St., thier fans never gave up on him when he had a few down years.

45-21

No you look like an idiot. You lost to USF for goodness sake. Your Football team is terrrrrrible, and has no bright spots. You got rid of Bowden…He hasnt done anything in years to contribute to the team. Losses OR Wins. So him leaving doesnt make much of a difference.

Dont worry, Brantley, AJ Jones, Will Hill, Dubose, and many others will step right in, and continue steam rolling garbage FSU. We might not be undefeated, or SEC champions(key word might). But FSU lost to USF, a team that hasnt even been alive as long as my dog. I am pretty sure, FSU has nothing we should be scared of.

Yea ok

When was the last time you finished in the top 5? 10 years ago…AND out of those `14 years how many Champinships did you win? I am sick of school trying to talk trash, when their school used to be good. We have finished in the top 25 since 1990. We didnt just get good last season. Remember Steve Spurrier. So I can understand why you are still living in the past, but dont put that on us. We have been good since 1990, and we havent fell off the map, and it doesnt look like that will happen.

So woopie F’n dooo…14 years in a row. We have 3 nat championships, you have 2. We win.

I’m living in the present. And like I said earlier I love how you Gators re-write history. You weren’t ranked in the Ap top 25 just 5 years ago. Like I said earlier before you talk smack check your facts. It makes you look stupid. I’m glad it took you 4 posts to get your point across as well. oh never mind you didn’t have one.

way to go TROLL, but your wrong. Try again.

haha learn how to read, I didnt say top AP 25. I said top 25. The USA today coaches poll is a legit poll. It is one of the polls factored into the BCS poll. So next time check your facts, and not with wikipedia. Using wikipedia as a link, much less being wrong using wiki as a link… Now thats stupid, typical FSU.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/rankings/_/year/2004/seasontype/3

All of those comments are specific replies to each of your comments. Not suprised though, that you didnt know that.

talk out of his ass like Hook85 and some of the other fools on this site.

Your a 30k milli, get a life DB. Look at my actual link to a sporting cite that shows UF in the top 25 five years ago. Your a troll. If you do ever come back check out this link, and well see if you have any more wikipedia articles to prove me wrong.

After seeing a game in the new unis

they grew on me. I kind of like how the lower bar in the “F” was a gator mouth….but I still want top go back to the regular orange helmets……

go gators!

what was a gator mouth?

http://photos.gatorcountry.com/Gator-Football-2009/Photo-Gallery-Nike-Pro-Combat/10390952_DRuxK#721478155_UMCSP

I remember when I saw Brandon James’ helmet on the JumboTron, it looked like the lower bar had the end of his chin strap over it, which made it look weird, but I’m not seeing the gator mouth…?

by wangalusa on Dec 1, 2009 9:39 PM EST up reply actions  

I don't see it on those pictures either

Maybe Nike has some amazing changing Fs…..

I never saw them up that close, from a far it looks like a gator mouth.

I kind of liked the helmets but the white lines across the back of the pants looked a little strange. Hell, anything looks snazzy when you’re winning.

by renegator on Nov 29, 2009 10:18 PM EST reply actions  

I suppose I can nitpick...

…but the new unis looked really great on gameday, and in the photos that folks like orlandosentinel have released. The thing i didn’t like was from behind it looked like some weird white chaps sown into the uniform.
