The Florida Gators had planned to wear throwback uniforms against Missouri for months prior to the 2020 season, going so far as to reveal that in graphics released prior to the season.
But the program had a surprise up its sleeve — or, rather, on pegs in lockers — when it comes to this week’s sartorial choices: The Gators will wear blue helmets with an old-school block F, which they revealed on Monday morning via social media.
Florida has not worn blue helmets in more than four decades, last regularly donning them in 1965.
