Florida wore blue helmets as a throwback option against Missouri before wearing them as an alternate at Tennessee.Meanwhile, 2026 also marks the first time Florida wears its alternate orange jerseys since 2021, when Florida lost to LSU on the road. Since then, the jersey has only been worn in spring games. Florida moved to blue jerseys after Steve Spurrier took over the program as the head coach in 1990 and did not wear orange jerseys until the 2010 season. This year's orange jerseys come with minor changes on the shoulder stripe, which now match the master stripe on every helmet, pants and the blue and white jerseys, and on the numbers, which are bordered by a single blue line rather than a space in between the border.In addition to the two new uniforms and the aforementioned throwbacks with a blue helmet, which will be worn in honor of Spurrier's 1966 Heisman Trophy season, Florida will wear its traditional home uniforms consisting of orange helmets, blue tops and white pants, as well as its traditional away uniforms consisting of orange helmets, white tops and blue bottoms.Florida announced its throwback uniforms earlier in the week, which mark the second-straight season the Gators wear throwback uniforms but the first time paired with a blue helmet since 2020. Head coach Jon Sumrall reflected on Spurrier's legacy at Monday's press conference."I've grown up watching this conference and this school and the people that have been a part of the history of this program. So to be in the same role as a guy like Coach Spurrier, I don't know about starstruck, but it's almost like pinch yourself. Is this real? Like, wow," Sumrall said. "Because you work so hard to grow as a professional in your career and to get to a spot where I'm getting to do the same job day in and day out that he did, and he did it at a ridiculously high level. I'm always blown away that I get the privilege to walk the same walk that somebody like he did." Florida will also wear two alternate away options with orange helmets, white tops and orange pants and blue helmets, white tops and white bottoms.🚨LEAKED🚨Potential 2026 #Gators uniform combinations (Leak from Brendan Bett instagram story, not 100% guaranteed) pic.twitter.com/2HjZNAwfC9— Matthew Corn (@m_corn10) August 12, 2026Florida has not announced when each uniform combination will be worn.
