Yes, it came out a while ago. It's a newer, symmetric version of the tiger we've had; you really have to look to notice the difference.

other than, of course, you hope they get the wrinkles out

Florida does not belong on that list, and Michigan is the easy #1. I'd put LSU higher, simply because I can't say I've ever seen another team that would fool me into thinking they were the Tigers; while (for example) I might mistake Minnesota for USC.

Very true, minus the part about Florida. Not sure who you could confuse them for and I think the script "Gators" is very iconic. Same goes for Michigan, Notre Dame and Texas' uniforms, among others.
I guess my issue with Florida is that they haven't looked that way very long. Tebow's Gators do not look like Emmitt Smith's Gators, and neither look like Spurrier's when he played. And the changes aren't subtle; there are some very distinct differences.

Whereas- it's very clear they're playing the Georgia Bulldogs, even though we're looking at photos from the 60's, 80's and 2000's.

I'd say UGA's uniforms belong on that list more than Florida.

So did I; I don't know for certain but it may have something to do with copyrights and such. I think this new tiger is replacing Toonces, and they are going to spread him onto everything.

Might be cheaper to print out too, just a guess.

I don't think we can tell the difference from the stands.
