School colors are orange and blue. Orange, Orange, Orange -
Blue, Blue, Blue. Black???

Give me a brake. Traditions mean nothing anymore.

I like the different uniforms. Black with orange and blue? Why not for one game a year

I’m a big tradition guy myself. I think brand recognition is important too. I also get that the kids these days love to switch things up, but when it comes to uniforms, less is more IMO.

I guess I’d be okay with compromising on a black jersey, but I wouldn’t want black pants and it would really only make sense to do it on Halloween weekend or something.

The black baseball and basketball jerseys look really good, but those are a bit easier to work in than a football jersey/helmet.

I think we just need to do it and get it over with it at this point. When/if it bombs then we'll move further away from changing it up again in the future and stay true to the Orange and Blue.

Go Gators.

I saw the black jerseys the Gators will supposedly wear against Arkansas, I am scared to see what the helmets, pants will look like.

Maybe a USFL or an XFL team will buy them after the game. They would fit.

Arkansas might join in and wear purple, maybe they don't care either about school colors or tradition.

Orange and Blue, not orange and black.

And as far as honoring the veterans? put a flag on the chest or a MIA sticker on the sleeve of the blue home jersey.

I'm torn. I love the traditional uniforms and we have enough combinations to keep it fresh. But I also get that the young guns love uniform options.

I'm not against tying black into a uniform, but it needs to be done right. Don't do it just to do it. The black baseball and basketball uniforms look great, but those are a little easier to work with.

I think if anything, it needs to be the jersey only. Leave the helmet and the pants alone. I don't mind when we do the white helmets (as long as it's uniform with the orange - no metallic or tapered decals/stripes), but the blue helmets are awful.

Brand recognition is everything. When it comes to uniforms, my personal opinion is that less is more. The last thing I want to see is us taking the field in something that looks like my kindergartener designed it (gator themed uniforms we wore against aTm in 2017).
