Florida State Seminoles to update uniforms with proper colors
By Josh Hill
If you watched the Florida State Seminoles this weekend, you may have been confused by which team they actually were. Fans tuning into the game were looking for the Noles traditional colors on the uniforms and helmets but saw nothing that even came close to resembling what they’re used to.

The reason for this is because the new uniforms the team’s new uniforms were either designed in the dark or half-assed by whoever was in charge of updating them.
According to a press release from the Noles, the university is very much aware that their new uniforms are displeasing to every single human sense and will be changing them back to the old uniforms this season.
"“Saturday night at AT&T Stadium was the first opportunity we had to see the color of our helmets and facemasks under stadium and broadcast television lights,” FSU stated in a press release. “The shades of both the Garnet facemasks and the Gold of our football helmets did not accurately represent those of our tradition-rich past.”"
Senior associate athletic director Monk Bonasorte told Warchant.com that the gold helmets will be painted darker before the Seminoles next game on Sept. 20.
"“We made a commitment to get everything sent off on Monday, since we have an open week and we’ll make the adjustments we need to make.”"
It was a pretty embarrassing showing for the Noles this weekend when they were wearing the wrong colors, and it’s something that even once fixed won’t be soon forgotten.
