Florida has worn a lot of helmets over the years, but its best look (above) is an iconic college football helmet. First worn in 1979, the orange shell with a white facemask and ‘Gators’ in blue script is rather gorgeous. The program has introduced some strong, white helmets since the mid-2000s — one that features a blue ‘F’ and one that looks identical to the main helmet, but with a white shell in place of the orange — but none hold a candle to the iconic orange dome.
