Jersey Above that, the Gators will be in a swamp green jersey covered in a tonal gator print. Player numbers are orange trimmed in royal blue, while names appear in orange.

The cleats are swamp green and covered in Gator print with chrome orange plates. The sockliners have sublimated Gator logos on them.

Twenty-five years after Ben Hill Griffin Stadium became "The Swamp," the University of Florida football team will take the look of a Gator when they take the field on Saturday.As the only Division I school in the country named the Gators, UF and Nike officials saw a unique opportunity that has been in the works for over two years. This marks the first time in school history that the Florida football team will stray from its traditional Orange and Blue look that is synonymous with its storied program.Nike Football designers created and delivered a new alternate look for the team (incorporating the Nike Vapor Untouchable Speed uniform ) that takes after an alligator's armored body and channels its ability to be a master of camouflage.Here are the head-to-toe details of this alternate uniform.Florida Gators will be a part of history on Saturday, as the Gators host Texas A&M in the second time in school history and first since 1962. In 2012, Florida welcomed the Aggies to the Southeastern Conference as UF traveled to College Station, Texas on Sept. 8, 2012.The Gators and Aggies will be meeting for just the fourth time in history. UF beat A&M, 42-6, in the first meeting in 1962 and Texas A&M returned the favor in the1977 Sun Bowl in El Paso, beating the Gators, 37-14.During that matchup five years ago, Florida downed A&M, 20-17.It's the 25th anniversary of when the Head Ball Coach,, gave Ben Hill Griffin Stadium its nickname, The Swamp "The 'Swamp' is a place where only Gators get out alive," Spurrier told then-Gainesville Sun columnist Mike Bianchi in 1992 . "We feel comfortable there, but we hope our opponents feel tentative. A swamp is hot and sticky and can be dangerous. We feel this is an appropriate nickname for our stadium."All told, Spurrier's teams went 68-5 at home during his 12 seasons.is 13-2 at home after going unbeaten in "The Swamp" last year.
