Luckily, Gators know the best gifts to show off your orange and blue pride. Since the Florida Gator merchandise covers every corner of Gainesville, we whittled down a list of trendy merchandise any Florida Gator wants.
Check out these 10 gifts for Florida Gators that’ll make the holiday season
1. Gator Flag
