On Monday, OGGOA reported that the Florida Gators would be unveiling a special uniform for their final home game of the 2009 season against the Florida State Seminoles. Two sources close to OGGOA provided us with exclusive information regarding the Gators special uniforms, including a picture of the gloves that will be worn for the game. OGGOA has now also uncovered a picture of the uniform.

Last week, OGGOA received images of brand new Nike Pro Combat uniforms that FSU plans to wear on Nov. 21 against the Maryland Terrapins. These uniforms will be worn by the Seminoles, Gators and eight other teams to promote Nike’s new line.

Each team has its own tagline, too: Florida Gators – Finish the Mission; Florida State Seminoles – Fear the Spear; Virginia Tech Hokies – Good Guys Wear White; TCU Horned Frogs – Never Back Down; Ohio State Buckeyes – Earned; Oklahoma Sooners – Stake Our Claim; Texas Longhorns – It Only Takes Eleven; LSU Tigers – Cochon De Lait; Missouri Tigers – Beast Mode; Miami Hurricanes – The U Knows

Nike’s Pro Combat uniforms are said to be 37% lighter than current designs and utilize a four-way stretch twill that does not hold sweat or water. Additional features include Nike’s Dri-FIT technology, evaporation and cooling zones, more padding zones and improved ventilation and breathability. Players will also wear Nike Vapor Trail 2.0 gloves (see above) and Nike Zoom Air cleats that are light weight and feature better cushioning in the heel. Below you will find a more detailed picture of FSU’s uniform:

    Does anyone know what “Cochon De Lait” (LSU’s tagline) means? Freetranslation.com gave me Milk of the Pig…that can’t be right…

    Also, are we definitely wearing those helmets from the picture? Do we know if it will be like the throw-back helmets w/the orange F?

  2. Yes, we are wearing those helmets in the picture. I believe it will be the orange F with the new lettering used on the field.

    “Cochon De Lait” actually refers more to the roasting of a pig.

  3. “Cochon De Lait” —That is right, GEAUX TIGERS, I FOUND YOUR SITE BY SEARCHING LSU NIKE COMBAT UNIFORMS…WE WILL ROAST THE GATORS LIKE A PIG NEXT YEAR IN GAINESVILLE. WE SHOULD BE PLAYIN Y’ALL IF IT WEREN’T FOR THOSE DANG FIXED REFS!!!

  5. I want a pair of the gloves, too.
