South Carolina echoed those sentiments ahead of its game against Florida on Saturday. Coming in from pregame warmups, the team headed into the locker room to find sparkling alternate helmets. The head-gear is featuring the Gamecock mascot outlined in black and garnet, prominently displayed on a white helmet.
