Former Florida LB James Bates designs T-shirts for Gators’ student section
We’ve seen football players’ uniforms. We’ve seen cheerleading uniforms. Now, a former Florida linebacker is designing … student section uniforms.
Former Gators linebacker James Bates, who now works as a broadcaster, has designed official T-shirts for the Florida student section in 2017, the school announced Friday.
The T-shirts depict a drawing of Steve Spurrier (complete with his famous visor) for the 25-year anniversary of his nickname for Florida Field – now known around college football as “The Swamp.”
The text: “25 years ago, the Head Ball Coach called it the Swamp & we’ve been chompin’ ever since.”
