The Athletic staff writers fans of Florida Gators blackout jerseys
The Florida Gators debuted a new uniform this season during the home contest against the Arkansas Razorbacks, blacking out the jerseys from head-to-toe in honor of those who serve the military, police and fire department.
The uniforms received positive reviews from Florida fans and The Athletic added the blackout threads to its top-ranked alternate uniforms of the season.
The new, black, Florida alternates ranked at No. 10, tying with the all-gray uniforms donned by the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Christopher Kamrani was a fan of the Florida Gators all-black uniforms debut, and it sounds like he wouldn’t mind if the uniforms were brought back for a game in 2024.
“The combo of white numbers on all-black jerseys pops, both in photos and in 4K,” Kamrani wrote. “The all-white or all-black looks good so far if you’re able to make sure you have great helmets to go with the ensemble. Plus, the Gators in cursive rules.”
Another staff writer, David Ubben, thinks that every football team should wear at least one variation of a blackout uniform.
“My hottest uniform take: Every program should be allowed to wear black uniforms,” Ubben said. “I checked the Constitution; there are no laws against this, nor should there be. Let college football programs live.”
Were you a fan of the new all-black uniforms, or should the program abandon the idea?
The Florida Gators are heading into the offseason after a tough home loss to the Florida State Seminoles after being knocked out of bowl eligibility.
