That is easily my favorite UF logo as well
I don’t know why it’s so hard to find anymore. If there were shirts/jackets/hats/ties/pants/socks/shoes/underwear with that logo on it, I would buy them all.

um those helmets ...
Did anyone forget to tell them that Gator Script is backwards on at least 2 of them??? I don’t know how you miss that.
If I did endorse any of those … which I can not without seeing the uniform that goes with it … I could only endorse the orange alligator scales with Classic Gator Script, but instead of a blue face mask switch with the classy white we already enjoy. Sort of makes it a updated version to a classy helmet. but other than that … good luck
Wonder if D.J. has his recruiting area changed or if they leave him in NC to try and pull some more NC boys down (makes sense, North Carolina really doesn’t have a top notch football program in the state).

Yeah I noticed that 2 were wrong also. The only one I liked other then the one you mentioned is the white one. I loved the old White helmet with the blue F so if we wore some variation of a White helmet once a year that would be badass.
It would probably be to much white but my favorite uni is our all whites so if we had something like this it would look pretty sick IMO…
These Jerseys and Pants with the Orange bands
With this helmet only change the F on the helmet to the Orange that will match the bands…

I enjoy the White helmets from 2009 as well
Just wish we hadn’t used them against Bama in the SEC Championship game that year. The all-white uni looked great, but our on-field performance sucked in that game. I’m not one to put a stamp on a uni just cause you’ve lost wearing it. I think switching up the uni once or twice a year is a good thing, I mean if we play 13 to 14 games, and 11 to 12 are what we normally wear then it’s all good. I just don’t want to be the Ducks switching it up every game.
ECFIVESTER - February 8, 2012
Exactly. Agreed. I would say just once a year would be good, especially if it involves the White helmets.

lol This picture is awesome!

I like it.

If you guys seriously hung onto Dan Quinn - WOW!
Pretty interesting that he would turn down an NFL coordinator position. Especially in state.
Nattylite - February 7, 2012
Word is they totally lowballed him Salary wise.
Go figure..

This post on EDSBS is pretty good, not only because of the comprehensive description, but also because of the comments.

oh yeah and regarding our recent Top 10 ranking in hoops
Every time we make a major move in the polls (first ever #1 ranking for example or a move back into the top 10), we have a trip to Rupp planned the following day. This has happened so many times that I have lost count.
I do not have much confidence in tonight’s game. I hope that we do not embarrass outselves.
skigator93 - February 7, 2012
Yep
Hopefully we’ll at least keep it close.

Sad to hear about Papa Brewer
You could tell CB held him in high regards. He sacrificed the most by coming back for his junior season (though things may not have worked out for him as well), as his family needed the money the most.
