Every season, fans of Florida Gators football wonder the same thing: Is this the year we break out black alternate uniforms? Considering how popular the black alternates used to be for Florida basketball, one would think that Gators football would have broken out similar attire at some point.
But here’s the thing. It has not happened. Even though official black alternate jerseys have occasionally been sold — and Florida inexplicably broke out disgustingly ugly “Swamp green” alternates two years ago — black has not invaded the team’s uniform.
Until now?
The official equipment account for Gators football tweeted a short video on Wednesday supposedly showing off a bunch of new pants that were sent to the facility. But what … what was that at the bottom? A pair of black Florida football pants?
While we can only speculate at this time, it should be noted that head football coach Dan Mullen has himself teased black uniforms in the past. Also, a number of Gators players changed their Twitter profile photos to all black this week.
Most teams will break out black alternates at home in a big game or in a special game, which leaves only three opportunities for Florida if it is more than just teasing these uniforms. The best potential usage may be Nov. 30 as the Gators host Florida State. However, the Florida-Georgia game on Nov. 2 in Jacksonville, Florida, and the Vanderbilt game on Nov. 9 inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium are other options.

Bring out the black ones this week. Loved the throwbacks last week!
It doesnt matter what color FLA breaks out, LSU wins this game. To much talent on off and def. FLA not enough on def to keep LSU from scoring at will. The idea of all black is despicable to me. I don’t know why teams ddo it. The school colors are not black. Ask teams like GA about blackouts and what happened to them vs ALA. To be all black to me symbolizes race and has nothing to do with just wearing all black.
STFU U sound like an idiot
Yeah lots of talent letting up 38 points per game against power 5
Your stupid bro. Your the reason football is what it is today turning it into a pissing contest and a race war when in reality it’s just a school trying to hype up a really important game so smh dude your wrong for that.
👍
You’re ignorant. Try not to speak in public.
👌 👌 👌 👌
Well here the thing! When u go out in the night why is it so dangerous to hunt for gators? Because it pitch BLACK DUMMY! THE COLOR WILL BE EASIER FOR THE QUICK RESPONSE TO GETTING THE ATTACK THROUGH THE AIR AND KEEP BAYOU BENGALS AT BAY! PLEASE TELL ME THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING? The first one to reply CLEARLY a city slicker never been hunting and fishing in oats or the banks GO GATORS!
U r a d bag racist
We will see my freind
What the hell does black uniforms have to do with race? You are what’s wrong with this world. Every little thing is offensive
Race? Stupid and lazy, they n3ed you in Portland.
Just dumb. Plain dumb. Please don’t waste our time or insult our intelligence again with comments like these. In fact, drop out of this coversation… it’s clearly not relevant to whatever it is you’re trying to say.
“Scoring at will”.
That’s a gem.
Just stfu dude u sound dumb asf
U sound like a LSU fan why are you on this page bro ?? CHOMP CHOMP !!!
I hope the Gators win and shut the haters up.
You are the problem with the world.
The highest ranked pass defense LSU has faced all year is Georgia Southern ranked 103rd. Bring it kitty cats.
Race? WTF, You sound like this crazy bunch of left winged idots from DC.
It’s for the kids not you.
I would like to see orange blue and black as the new football uniform for the Florida Gator’s
What would be nice is black uniforms trimmed in blue and orange with the shiny black helmets
I like the picture you are painting the brother.
Huh?
Yeah man that’s exactly what I thought when Michigan State broke out those green neon jerseys my first thought was that neon green symbolizes race to me… what are they f****** Martians?
And those white on white Arizona State unis are clearly a high-five to white supremacy.
Dumb.
LOL! I love it
LMAOOOOO
Which game this month will the Gators wear something pink for Breast cancer awareness?
Not sure. Maybe South Carolina.
We should be the first to go full Darth Vader… helmet and voice box included. How effing intimidating would that be to see 60 Vaders sprinting out of the tunnel? Imagine Trask calling audibles and players talking trash with that scary ass voice. Some team is eventually going to do it.
I say let’s start the hashtag #justforwillie
Personally, the all black uniforms are HORRIBLE!😱😩 If the teams have black as one of their colors, and for some reason they have to have black, PLEASE make it pants(black)👖 OR jersey(black)👕 NOT ALL BLACK!!!🕴🕴
Also, learn the difference between “to” and “too”. It makes you look smarter, if possible.
This dude is right that lsu wins…and big, but i comlletely disagree with the comment about black unis being about race, what? Smh, idiot.
nobody laughing at the Vader imagery? Funny as heck. That’s the logical asymptote of the ubiquitous black uni love fest. Well, maybe Vader with a mere tattoo of the school’s actual colors.
12th man scares me in Death Valley, not the LSU Tigers. After last week, I’m convinced we have a shot at any game this season. I recognize the advantage we had last week as well. If we can STOP the turnovers, play clean and trust the plan, we have a shot at a bigtime upset. Go Gators!
