FSU will wear all black uniforms with garnet helmets

FSU twitter has posted that they are back in black (black shirts and pants with garnet and black two toned matte helmets.

What do you think we will wear? I think it would be nice contrast to see us wear all white.

Florida State is 2-2 all-time while wearing all black.

Here is a picture of the jersey and helmet combo I would like to see.

I think our all white jersey combos always look fresh as hell. That said, you chose one of the most triggering photos of the offseason to display it haha.

If you can trick yourself into thinking that you have no idea who is wearing the jersey because of the helmet and visor, a la Schrodinger's cat, its not that bad.... right??..... guys.....

Yep. Didn't even think about it until Chris' comment. Thanks for that BTW. /s

That video has poor production quality which I hope is mirrored by FSU's on-field performance.

I was about to say, I can't actually see shit in that video.

Thats odd, because that is all I seen in that video!

They also announced throwback endzone logos which do not go with the black uniforms. Very tacky stuff. 2/10.

They should've done a throwback midfield logo, because they're not getting into the endzone, am I right guys

Throwback? To when they were an all-girls school?

Looking at those all-whites makes me want to go buy one.

I heard we're wearing the white helmets. Not sure on the rest of the uni but I would assume at least white tops. Love the all-white look so I hope we go that route.

White helmet, white top, maroon pants per someone on vtscoop.

Perfect.

Interesting. Didn't see that. Would prefer the white pants but it is what it is.

From what little I can see in that video, those unis look bad as hell. However, the last time we storm troopered someone's Darth Vader in the penis state, it did not turn out that well for the good guys.

Not gonna lie, I love this look.

Screen_Shot_2018_08_30_at_11_37_20_AM

Agreed, but I'm kind of partial to the maroon helmet. For a Monday night game, when do we think VT will announce uniforms?

IMO, I think white socks and cleats with the orange trim would make this look sooooo clean, but I know I'm in the minority after getting down-voted into oblivion by the pro-black cleat contingent from last year lol.

"What kind of person would throw away a perfectly good dog?"

I hope soon. I'm a bit partial to a solid look. All white, maroon or orange. I'm not totally crazy about the new uniforms but I think the all orange could be cool against the all black. Though it would hint at a "halloween" match up.

Completely agree.

Saw some of the players on Twitter wearing the maroons at a meet & greet, "photo and a signed poster" thing - the slant of the shoulder stripes make for a really weird neckline.
And it's a problem on all three versions.
And, I really wish the numbers on the orange jerseys were maroon.
And that the numbers on the maroon jerseys were orange.
(I like the white jerseys fine except for the weird neck thing.)

And, if we win in them, they're perfect

the numbers don’t lie and they spell disaster

IMO, the neckline on the whites doesn't look as bad as the others, but they're still an upgrade from the old shoulder stripes. I think the design on all three could look really sharp if the stripes were more subtle. For instance, if the maroons' mono-stripe was a darker/matte maroon accent, it would look sharp. I'm not sure if it's a branding violation with doing something like that, but I notice teams with otherwise boring jerseys like Alabama and Penn State (even Klempson) use darker shades with their primary color and it looks pretty cool.

Blackout at night?

Doesn't seem like the brightest idea.

Unpopular opinion time Same reason on why I think we should reserve Maroon Effect for a big 3:30 game, and Orange Effect for our (should be) annual Thursday Night home game.

Shows better at night than

That and it will always be harder to get people to buy into a blackout then it is to just get them to wear a color with their schools stuff on it that they already have.

I love a good nap. Sometimes that's all that's getting me out of bed in the morning.

I like the idea. It'll give a better canvas for all the orange and maroon to stand out.

wait, who is in that uniform that you speak of? (sarcasm of course). I hope we go all white in the game. I think it would be the best look when we beat FSU by 2 tds.

We were wearing a very similar look last time we beat them...

ok, beat me by a few min

I dunno....last time we wore all white against FSU worked out pretty well...

Worst day of weather I can ever recall in Charlotte. Sideways sleet all day during the early games at Selwyn Pub, continued uptown immediately pre-game, and then it stopped raining and stayed at about 38° all game.

But TT5 kept us all warm.👍

the numbers don’t lie and they spell disaster

Drove through that ice/snow from Blacksburg to Charlotte. Stopped right as the game started. Drove all the way back to Blacksburg in the snow after it was over. Good times.

That was a great game to go to. I booked a motel for after the game so I didn't have to drive back after. But my brother in law was white knuckled the entire trip down through Fancy Gap with the snow.

It was a butt-puckering good drive. I think everyone that rode with me fell asleep so it was just me and my old XTerra driving up 77.

I hate driving on I-77 through Fancy Gap, especially during rain/snow. I was driving through there the day after the spring game this year and got caught in a nasty storm right as I was coming down that incredibly steep grade. The rain was so hard, I couldn't see 5 feet in front of my car. I pulled off to the side of the road and it started to hail (golf ball to baseball sized). My brand new car got hit with $9,000 of hail damage.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

Same. I just remember stopping for snacks and I got some off brand energy drink and it was the best energy drink I've ever had. Can't remember what it was called, but I've never seen it since.

Blah blah blah unrecognizable something something branding.

Where can I go for FSU fan hot takes about how no one will know which team is Florida State when they tune in?

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

How about we see if there is a combination that correlates to the 10 biggest wins according to this video.

It seems Maroon Helmet, White Jersey and White Pants are how we seal the deal!

I hope they play like the high school team they stole those uniforms from. That's the only logical reasoning behind that monstrosity of a uniform.

Not generally a fan of black unis, but I think FSU's is pretty good. I do like the helmet.

They will be 2-3 and bemoaning the black uniforms (like we do) by midnight on Monday.

Since it talks about entering to Enter Sandman, these are most likely for another game.

That would be my preference. Poster on VTScoop says White Helmet, White Top, Maroon Pants. Poster on Techsideline said Maroon Helmet, White Top, White Pants.

Here's hoping to all white.

I think the person on TSL said matte maroon helmet.

Maroon face masks though?

White uniforms, matt maroon helmets, maroon face masks.

yup it would appear when someone says all white everything you should ask more specific questions haha.
