Florida fans react to Gators unveiling special throwback uniforms for Auburn game
Florida is switching it up in Week 6. On homecoming, which happens to be a top-10 showdown with Auburn this year, the Gators have announced that they will be wearing special throwback uniforms.
The look is from Steve Spurrier’s playing days at UF in the 1960s, similar to what Florida for a 2006 game against Alabama (but this time with a Jumpman logo). Early fan reaction is mostly positive as you can see below:

Though some fans are worried, however, that the white helmets bring bad luck. Dan Mullen’s squad went with white helmets last year as part of an all-white look for the Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville.
We’ve worn throwbacks only once in 06 vs Bama… it was a win. Plus, uniforms don’t contribute to wins or losses so it really doesn’t matter. Florida won’t win or lose because of a uniform choice.

These white helmets need to stay buried in the past. The jerseys aren’t AS objectionable. Not a fan of most of these “throwback” unis.
Also not a fan of choosing a white helmet vs a team with white helmets. But, that’s why I don’t make these decisions. Whatever.
Why can’t we try new things… blue helmets with orange script, etc. Why go old retro and boring?
Old uniforms, new uniforms, blue helmets, white helmets, orange helmets – it doesn’t matter

You can’t make a tuurd shine.
But you can polish the shine off an almost 40 yr. old trophy from looooong ago, can’t ya ? Now you can give me your best comeback, last years score. Go ahead, i’ll wait for it.
And for them to lead the series you have to go back to a time when Minnesota and Princeton (Princeton!) were winning national championships.
Great talent all those years. But it just takes more.
Figure it out.
If my dog was as ugly as Uga, I’d shave it’s butt and tell it to walk backwards.
Ha! Nice. You’d shave a dog’s butt?
Yes he would and would probably use his tongue to do it. The jort wearing nation is a strange group!
I like the jerseys a lot.
“Meh” on the helmets.
