The Gators will wear an all-blue uniform with all-blue accessories (gloves, cleats, socks and wristbands) in a subtle yet bold change from the program's traditional look.
Meanwhile, the Wolverines will wear a new all-maize uniform in celebration of Michigan's 150-year anniversary of the school's official colors, maize and blue.
Florida-Michigan
UF will be making its first-ever appearance in the AdvoCare Classic and will be playing its first-ever game at AT&T Stadium. Meanwhile, UM will make its second appearance in the series and, for the second time, will face an SEC foe. Michigan also opened the 2012 season in what was then known as the Cowboys Classic, falling to eventual national champion Alabama 41-14 before a crowd of 90,413, the largest crowd to ever see a college football game in AT&T Stadium.
