Adam Hermann | NCAA.com | October 10, 2017 Gators will wear all-new alligator-skin uniforms against Texas A&M A complete look at Florida's most alligator-y look yet. Share School mascots are a unique idea. Teams taking on the mantle of animals conjures plenty of theoretical Planet Earth showdowns: how would alligators and, say, wolverines fare in an actual tussle?
