Nike has unveiled a preview of the uniforms to be worn by Florida Gators and Michigan Wolverines this weekend for the 2017 Advocare Classic.
Both teams have been experimenting with the new uniforms in practice and fans have been anticipating some kind of release all summer. The uniforms look to be modeled after the Nike’s NFL Color Rush line introduced last year following the same solid-color theme.
Both teams will be wearing their “dark” uniforms with Florida being the home team.
