Florida State Seminoles football is renowned for its classic garnet and gold uniforms, instantly recognizable across college football. These iconic combinations are deeply embedded in the program’s tradition.
As previously mentioned, there have been suggestions that the Seminoles might introduce turquoise Nike N7 uniforms this season. These uniforms carry significant cultural meaning, representing harmony, friendship, and fellowship within many Native American communities. The basketball team has already sported this design, fueling speculation for the football team.
However, a different uniform concept has entered the conversation, sparked by former Florida State graphic designer Klayton Campbell (KCamp). He recently shared a photo edit featuring defensive back Kevin Knowles II in an all-black uniform.

This social media post ignited discussions among fans, with many expressing their desire to see the Fsu Black Uniforms make a comeback. While some fans might recall the negative memories associated with the black uniforms worn during the 2018 Virginia Tech game at Doak Campbell Stadium, the overall sentiment seems to be shifting.
The Seminoles have achieved significant success in recent seasons, boasting a combined 23-4 record over the past two years. For many, sustained championship contention is the ultimate priority, regardless of uniform choices.
Yet, the excitement surrounding uniform discussions remains a vibrant part of the fan experience. During last year’s spring game unveiling of new uniforms, only garnet and white jerseys were presented, leaving some fans wondering about the absence of black options.
Many college football programs feature black alternate uniforms. While tradition leans heavily towards garnet and gold, there’s an understanding that contemporary players often appreciate the opportunity to wear alternate uniform combinations for a fresh look.
The key question now is, should Florida State decide to release an all-black uniform, would they also introduce alternate black and/or garnet helmets to complete the look? As the offseason progresses, uniform speculation continues to be a hot topic among Seminole fans.
