Florida’s uniform choice for its Homecoming game — and celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the Gators that won the program’s second national championship in 2006 — will be rather weird.
Because, well, it’s normal. Which is weird.
Florida will be wearing its most-worn home uniform against Missouri — the traditional orange helmet, blue jersey, and white pants. That typically wouldn’t merit even a raised eyebrow: Florida has worn that exact combination 63 times since 2005, almost exclusively at home, scoring a whopping 2,090 points in those threads and compiling a 46-17 record in them.
But under Jim McElwain, Florida’s only gone with blue-on-white in orange helmets twice, and neither time came in 2016.
