We've all been there. You wake up Saturday morning during college football season to the sound of ESPN's College Gameday on in another room. The Florida Gators are playing that night and you're frantically searching through your closet full of orange and blue gator gear that you've worn 100 times to football games already.
Part of tailgating at the University of Florida in Gainesville during Gator game days is showing off your attire for the day and snapping pictures in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. But you've likely faced the age-old dilemma before: wearing the same thing as someone else. You could switch it up from the Tim Tebow jersey and don something more humorous like a Treon Harris one.
Or you could make your way down to Gainesville's best-kept secret: Ilene's Gator Store. Located at 2441 NW 43rd St. near Flying Biscuit Cafe, Ilene's is home to easily one of the world's best ideas for a Gator football T-shirt that was even featured on ESPN: the chomp shirt.

As you explore the website, you'll be surprised at the number of things you feel the urge to buy to represent the UF Gators.
If you're into wearing royal blue, there's this awesome orange and blue criss-cross tie dress for women.
