I was told by a couple of FSU alums that it was a Nike decision on that uniform change - $$$ involved of course.
And you may have noticed ... no little Tomahawks on the back of the helmets.oxrageous said:It sucks they are changing them. It was one of the most embarrassing uniforms I've ever seen. Purple facemasks?

It's too bad they didn't wear red helmets, would have looked like some used tampons running around out there.Captain Sasquatch said:WobbleGator;n47347 said:What did their new ones look like? I never watch FSU games so I never saw them.

While I understand the lure of Nike money, the complete change of their entire look immediately following their first successful year in more than a decade reeks of desperation. It's as if they know this is their chance to monopolize as much as possible before returning to mediocrity.Captain Sasquatch said:Are they the only team to ever do a major re-branding after winning a national title? What a f*cking joke.
Concrete helmets?williston_gator said:I saw that a few days ago. Smart move because they look terrible. On a side note, on top of UF wearing Orange jerseys this weekend, I saw a tease that there's a "surprise uniform tweak" for later in the year. Not sure what it is.
*edit* Here's where I got that.

#Gators will wear orange jerseys vs. Kentucky. There's another uniform tweak (surprise) that's coming at some point this year, not sure when
