Florida State unveils new Nike uniforms
Don't adjust your television set.
That is Florida State you're watching and not Texas Tech.
FSU is wearing Nike Pro-Combat uniforms – one of 10 schools selected to test drive the new, lightweight design – as well a new black helmet. The Seminoles have worn a helmet with a base color other than gold only once, at the 1968 Peach Bowl when they had a garnet-based helmet with a white stripe and FS in white, block letters on the side. FSU plans to keep the uniforms and may use them again. It will incorporate the lightweight technology, however, into their traditional uniforms next season.
I find the timing odd. On a day FSU is honoring retiring defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews, the school wears uniforms that don't look anything at all like FSU.(FUll disclosure -- I'm a traditionist who still doesn't like the idea of a designated hitter in baseball.) What do you think?
