Do Florida fans really like them? I kept thinking I was watching Clemson yesterday.

I don't like the fact that we looked like Klempsin...however we had won big time games (Ole Miss, LSU) in those uniforms.

Since that butt whooping by Alabama, I hope they can be put away for awhile.

I like the blue better. The traditional uniforms are what I like the best for all teams.

Yeah, I agree. I'm all about the classic, traditional and iconic SEC uniforms.

I read an article from last year that said they were bringing back the all-orange for the first time since 1989. (source) Kinda think they should have left it in 1989.

They do not look like the Florida Gators in those at all.

Blue on blue or blue on white should be the only options

All orange is hideous. All one color uni's in general, besides white, are iffy.

Thank God Auburn hasn't gone with an all-orange alternate. We already have to put up with one rival that dons that scheme on the regular.

I know I'm in the minority but I kind of liked them. The Florida orange looks worlds better than the Tennesssee orange.

They did this back in Emmitts days once.

Florida went to orange jerseys in 1980 with Charley Pell, I believe.
They first did the all orange in 1989 against Kentucky.

Blue jerseys were put back on display vs FSU in 1989 and the next year Spurrier went back to Florida's traditional blue full time. Orange jersey's didn't appear again until 2010 LSU game but the all orange didn't show back up until this year. Looks like Mac likes the orange.

Aubie actually did do the orange jersey as an alt from 1978-80. Never did the pants though.

Florida's uniforms look like crap , and always have just like their fans. What happened to the Sugar Bowl? Now you are in a garbage bowl where you should be. Iowa will have no mercy on you and your tranny coach.

They look better in person, but they looked awful on the GA Dome screen.

They were almost burnt, and softer looking in person, but on TV they looked bright orange and just ugly.
