Notably, the Gators will wear their 1960s-era throwback uniforms during Homecoming, aiming to balance tradition with modernity while focusing on competitive performance.
Gainesville, Florida – The Florida Gators have officially announced their uniform schedule for the upcoming 2025 football season, revealing a mix of classic throwbacks and exciting new combinations. The announcement was made on August 23, 2025, and the team will sport seven distinct uniform combinations this season, all accompanied by their iconic orange helmet.
The Gators will kick off the season in style, debuting their latest uniforms on August 30 against Long Island University. For this matchup, the team will wear a blue jersey paired with white pants. This blue and white combination will see further action on September 13 against LSU, October 4 against Texas, and during the SEC finale versus Tennessee on November 29.
Additionally, Florida’s orange-blue-orange uniform will make its appearance on September 6 in a game against USF. This combination was notably successful in the previous season, having been worn twice in 2024 and resulting in victories both times. The team’s orange-white-blue uniform will be sported for significant games against Miami on September 20 and Texas A&M on October 11.
This season also marks the return of the Gators’ 1960s-era throwback uniforms, which will be featured during their Homecoming game against Mississippi State on October 18. This will be the first time these nostalgic uniforms are worn since 2021 and will include an alternate logo on the iconic orange helmet, giving fans a glimpse into the team’s storied past.
One of the highlights of the uniform schedule will be the signature orange-blue-blue uniform, often referred to as the “big-game blues.” This jersey combination will take the field against rival Georgia on November 1, and again during the regular-season finale against Florida State.
Furthermore, the Gators plan to wear the orange-white-orange combination on November 8 at Kentucky, followed by the orange-white-white combination the ensuing week in Oxford, Mississippi. Notably, the team will continue its trend of excluding the all-orange and all-black jerseys from this season’s rotations, marking four consecutive years since these combinations were last utilized. The last all-black jerseys were worn during a 2023 game against Arkansas, while the all-orange set was last seen in a 2021 loss to LSU.
Head Coach Billy Napier has reiterated that, while the uniforms are visually important, the focus remains on performance rather than appearance. As the Gators enter the 2025 season, they are ranked 15th in the AP Top 25 preseason poll and have been projected to finish sixth in the SEC according to the preseason media poll.
The Gators are coming off a solid 2024 season, ending with an overall record of 8-5, which included a four-game winning streak against formidable opponents, among them ranked teams such as LSU and Florida State. Star quarterback DJ Lagway, who stepped up after Graham Mertz’s injury last season, will lead the team as they pursue success in the challenging SEC landscape.
As the Florida Gators gear up for a season filled with significant matchups against other top-ranked SEC teams, the aim remains clear: to compete for a spot in the College Football Playoff while thrilling their fanbase with a fresh take on tradition through their vibrant uniform selections.
