GUT Check: Florida vs Towson
A uniform recap from the Towson game
Saturday afternoon featured a the Gators in their last “warm up game” against Towson before they take on Auburn next week for Homecoming. The Florida Gators met the Towson Tigers in The Swamp for the first meeting ever between the two schools. Florida took the W in a 38–0 showing while extending their record in orange jerseys to 11–2 and in O/O/W to 6–1 since 2010.
1. Trask and co. debut new orange accessories
After Kyle Trask debuted new blue armbands last week vs UT Martin, we saw Trask take the field in new orange wristbands
Trask also seems to be wearing the same outfit every week; right arm with a sleeve and wristband and left arm with a QB wristband.

Take a look at the rest of the orange accessories from the team. I’m impressed with how the accessories blended perfectly with the uniform. Often times, accessories have different shades and stand out.
2. 6th game in the last 11 games the Gators have faced a team with black in their color scheme
In maybe the most odd uniform stat I’ve ever covered, the Gators have somehow faced 6 teams with the color black in the last 11 games: Vanderbilt, Georgia, Missouri, South Carolina, Idaho, and Towson. Here’s a few pictures:
3. Mullen adds Coach to Cure MD patch to polo
Head Coach Dan Mullen added the Coach to Cure MD Patch to his polo on Saturday
The patch is worn to support Duchenne. Here’s an excerpt from ParentProjectMD.org:
Coach To Cure MD, presented by Werner Ladder, is a partnership between the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), a professional organization for over 10,000 college and high school football coaches and staff, and Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), the largest national charity devoted exclusively to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne).
It was unknown whether Mullen would wear the CFB 150th patch on his sleeve like he did for the Miami game however @GatorsEquipment confirmed on Twitter that Mullen would not don it on Saturday.
Other uniform tidbits:
- Dan Mullen increased his record in white visors and polos to 4–0
- The Gators wore white gloves for the 2nd consecutive game in home jerseys after wearing blue gloves for Miami and UT Martin
Florida (finally) officially announced the throwback uniforms for homecoming vs Auburn on Sunday September 29 after it had been known since early July. I’ll have a full breakdown in GUT Check: Florida vs Auburn next week.
