Social media is deeply divided over Florida's throwback uniforms
On what was planned to be Florida’s Homecoming game in a normal season, the Gators are wearing throwback uniforms against Missouri on Saturday night.
The jerseys are the same as UF wore last year against Auburn. This year, however, the Gators switched from a white helmet to a rare blue helmet.
The helmets looked dangerously close to being banished forever as Dan Mullen’s offense showed some rust, getting off to a slow start, including a pick-6 for Mizzou’s only first-half score. Luckily for the blue-helmet lovers, the Gators appear to have woken up, scoring a pair of touchdowns late in the second quarter.
College football fans on social media are deeply divided. You either love or hate the Gators’ throwback blue look:
Florida has some of the best uniforms and I hate it

Florida would be playing better if they weren’t in these God awful uniforms.

I like Florida's traditional uniforms, but I may argue that the Gators have never looked better than they do tonight.
What a spectacular uniform. https://t.co/8BS12D3Coh
