JERSEYS STRAIGHT OUT OF BREAK DANCING FLICK
Florida’s new jerseys look like something straight out of Breakin’ . We’re having difficulty deciding whether that’s a good thing or not. Judge for yourself:
Electric Boogaloo look: good or bad?

About us
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

Man, oh, man. Ooooogly. Like the VT unis from last night. Maybe it’s just me, but they remind me of a cheerleading uni.
Just sayin’.

The Bulldogs better watch out though…I heard that when you combine the D-Line’s power they become “Megazorg”…a machine of massive destruction.

They are a little Power Rangery, too…though someone remarked that the VT iteration of these looked like FUBU reject concepts.

These remind of that awful shirt Martina Hingis used to wear with one long sleeve and one short sleeve. Who are the other two teams besides Florida and Virginia Tech who are going to wear these?

Why do universities with proud football traditions allow the shoe companies to get away with this crap? I swear, if I see one more major college team trade in perfectly-good, traditional football jerseys for the ridiculous Arena-ball look, I’m going to scream.
Tweaking a jersey every now and then is fine. But this sort of nonsense is a detriment to the college game. If you can’t market “traditional” jerseys, then you just aren’t trying.

Jim K says:
I think the people who buy these things already have a traditional shirt. Soccer teams in Europe have been doing this for years. About every season a big team changes one of its two away shirts, and changes its home shirt about every three or four years, sometimes more often than that. On top of that, the corporate shirt sponsor changes all the time too.
What really bothers me about the whole thing is that this is college. That damned fool Foley is quoted in the Gainesville Sun (the erstwhile seafood storage device) as being proud to be one of the four teams with the jester jersey. I think he means he’s glad he doesnt have to ask some old crusty alum for money he knows is going to softball.
Nike is just part of the trend to homoginize athletics into something more easily marketable. What Foley ignores when he boasts of whoring out his teams colors is that as those colors and UF logos lose space to the swoosh, UF loses part of its identity. And whats more, as more and more teams take the money, uniforms lose their individuality, save the elite teams nike or adidas decides to honor with a new uni (like Miami two or three years ago). I bought my father a nike coaches shirt for his birthday. It was pretty sharp. What I didnt know was that this is the same design that like 80% of CFB coaches wear (I’d like to see a clima-lite or dry-fit sweater-vest). So much for originality. More and more teams just look the same, for better or for worse.
Maybe there’s some kind of balance at work here; after all, sweatshop workers don’t get paid either.

USC refused to wear them. Coach Carroll said, “We wouldn’t want to step out of normal tradition.” Miami and Oregon will, however.

I don’t think they’re all THAT bad, but I’m stoked as hell to hear it’s only a one-time deal. I hate how Foley says “our partner” in reference to Nike. UF’s partners should NOT be Nike — at least not to the extent that Nike is making decisions that the players and coaches should be making.
Whoever made the Arena-League comment is right on. It’s like they’re the Florida UniversityZone GatorShoX now. That’s the new team name while they wear these jerseys… GatorShox.

Don’t dog Rollergames. The Rockers were gods back in the day. But yeah, times like these make me glad UVA’s not a Nike school. We do enough queer changes to our uni’s without a shoe company’s help, thank you very much.

The gayest jerseys ever. If Georgia ever wore this crap I would die. DEAD. This is worse that the year we worse black pants and red jerseys. I crapped myself that year.

I used to work for W+K, Nike’s ad agency in Portland, Oregon.
All I got to say is that it’s a longgggggggggg winter, full of rain and fleece jackets. Internet porn can only occupy a wandering mind for so much before strange things happen.
At least we didn’t go with the flourescent orange and jeans short jerseys look that were first drawn up.
Btw, Herbstreit would’ve given Dee Webb a “best lookin’ in the jersey award for Dee Webb if so.”

I guess its does follow in Florida’s long standing tradition of having 6 different uni combinations throughout the year. If it takes longer to pick out your uniform than gameplan, of course your going to lose.

The gators jerseys were hot, but not as hot as the VA tech jerseys. Anything is better than the nasty looking Baylor Jerseys that Miami wore.
Where can you find those nike jerseys to purchase? Id really like a gators one.
