Actually, you are wrong Leon. I know... shocking. Spurrier's helmet was a block F. No Serifs and not italicised. The new helmet is the same font as the F in Florida that is painted on the endzone. Similar, but certainly not the same. Your Spurrier helmet is below:

Yes. Paula and I both love the white helmets with the 'F'. It's the helmet that Spurrier and the teams of the Silver Sixties wore for our first great run of victories. It's fantastic. A.

Thread going around swamp gas that the slanted F white helmets are now permanenty replacing the Gator script orange helmets. According to some this is part of a new marketing plan by the athletic department. Don't know if any of this is true. I'm Ok with the white. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
