University of Florida Gators 1962 Gator Bowl Mini

In 1962, University of Florida put the Confederate Battle Flag on the side of their helmet for one game. That game was the 1962 Gator Bowl vs Penn State. Florida was 6-4 and Penn State was 9-1 and Penn State felt that playing Florida was a slap in the face since they were 9-1. Since Penn State felt that way Florida put Battle Flags on the side of the helmet to pump the team up. It worked when Florida won 17-7. It has not been confirmed if the stripe was orange, royal blue or navy blue
