The Florida Gators have been kicking the pigskin around in Gainesville all the way back to 1906. With three Heisman Trophy wins, another three national championships and eight conference titles under their belts, the Gators have a devoted army of fans who descend every fall upon the North Florida town to witness more legendary moments in college football history.
While we wait for the battle cries of “Orange and Blue” to echo off the walls of their beloved “Swamp” again, here are five items for all Gator fans to add to their collection of gear.
Elite Fan Shop NCAA Garden Gnomes
This little fellow reminds fans of the Gators to hold dear the electric atmosphere of Florida Field, aka "The Swamp." Though the stadium's name has evolved over the decades - it's now called Steve Spurrier Stadium as well to honor the Head Ball Coach who gave the field its nickname - it still fills with legions of orange-and-blue clad fans Saturdays in the fall. This garden gnome will look great in your garden or any nook around the house.Amazon
Fabrique Innovations NCAA Pillow Pet
Meet the only alligator you can feel comfortable hugging - well, except for maybe the official mascot Albert! This plush pillow sports its own fitted jersey and even has a hook-and-loop fastener so it stands upright - the perfect position for squaring off with Georgia Bulldogs or Auburn Tigers.Amazon
NCAA Men's Floral Shirt
Show your friends at the office that "It's great to be a Florida Gator" when you wear this Hawaiian-themed shirt on casual Friday. Adorned with all of Florida's most glamorous symbols - palm fronds, flamingos and of course a chomping Gator head - this imported shirt is the perfect wardrobe item for those steamy football weekends in the Sunshine State.Amazon

There are two, in case you get extra thirsty.Amazon
