Florida reveals 1960s throwback attire for Homecoming weekend against Missouri
Florida has already released a hype video for the team’s alternate blue helmets the team is planning to wear this weekend and now the team has revealed the 1960s throwback uniforms the team plans to wear for Homecoming weekend against Missouri.
Here is the information provided by the Gators regarding the 1960s throwback gear:
Helmet
- This piece combines a multitude of years and traditions all within one helmet.
- This weekend, the Gators will feature a blue helmet, gray facemask and multi stripe with orange in the center and white on both sides. Saturday’s look will resemble the way the Gators dressed in the 1950s and 1960s, as the blue helmet was an option for UF before adopting the orange helmet in 1969.
- Meanwhile, the block “F” with a circle decal that was used throughout the early 1960s.
- This piece combines a multitude of years and traditions all within one helmet.
- Jersey
- The blue jersey is from the 1960s, when the Head Ball Coach Steve Spurrier played quarterback for the Gators and won the Heisman Trophy in 1966. The jersey has an over the shoulder orange & white insert stripe.
- The Gators featured the same jersey last season when the hosted the Auburn Tigers at the Swamp during homecoming week, making it the first time to wear the top in a game since Sept. 30, 2006.
- Pants
- Also from the 1960s, the Gators white pants for Saturday has an Orange & Blue insert stripe down each side of the pants.
- Socks
- Florida will wear white crew socks, that include a blue stripe around the top, which was a very common look back in the 1950s and 1960s.
Cleats
This weekend, the Gators will also wear black cleats with white shoelaces. Unlike current times, cleats did not have all the exotic colors and styles in the 1950s and 60s.

the helmets look a lot better with the rest of uniform.
need orange or blue cleets!
It’s a throwback to the 60’s, cleats were only black back then.
Heck. Those are slick. Those look better than the current regular unis.
Can’t wait to see these uni’s playing our Tigers this weekend! Bonus would be a MIZZOU win, but with a 1st year coach at the helm a .500 season is a success in any league.
Love my gators and they look good (defense not so much). I think if anything, the all SEC schedule shows that anyone could win on any given weekend. Especially with our COVID concerns. All we can ask for is a clean game with no more infections
Good looking unis…but that defense hopefully will have improved as Mizzou is playing better now.
All I care about is how the defense plays Saturday. Uniforms look good but it’s about Mizzou
I like those unis.
As for the game, I like Drink’s ability to adjust his game plan. I don’t think Florida should expect Mizzou to play them the same way we played Kentucky. We ran the ball 62 times and controlled the ball for like 43 minutes. I can’t imagine that happening with Florida.
I don’t see us winning, but I also didn’t think we’d beat LSU or Kentucky, so I guess pessimism is my lucky charm.
I likewise suspect that the Mizzou offense will try to be a little more balanced simply because of what everyone saw last week vs. Kentucky and the changes that UF will likely make to try to stop the run. Should be a great game.
