Also noteworthy, according to the Twitter handle “Gators Uniform Tracker,” is that the master stripe is now painted on the helmets, which is a first for the program.
Additionally, according to the tweet that unveiled the new look, “This also means, unless additional white helmets are purchased or the helmets are conditioned, we won’t be seeing the 1960s throwback helmets from 2019 again.”
