After seeing them live, reaction pours in on Florida’s alternate uniforms

Published:
Florida took the field in its new alternate uniforms on Saturday, and the uniforms are interesting to say the least.
The look of the jersey is supposed to mimic an actual gator. The main color is green with a scaly pattern on the jersey and shoes and a dark green helmet.
It is an interesting idea, but the actual product does not quite look right. The shade of green is odd, especially considering that Florida’s dominant colors are blue and orange.
The entire outfit is truly awkward, and the reaction to the look has been overwhelmingly negative.
Here are some of the best reactions shared on Twitter:
These Florida uniforms are worse on tv than the pics. Didn't think it was possible

Florida should be put on probation just for these uniforms alone.

Seeing Florida’s uniforms on TV I can confirm that they are still awful and that the Gators deserve to lose by at least 40 for wearing them.

Florida's uniforms look like what @RealCJ10 and his crew wore in those Buck Commander shows.
