What if the Black Uniforms existed in the ’90s?

I am trying to make sure that all of my best work doesn’t let got lost on Twitter so I really want to make sure I post this stuff on my site as well for easy access in the future.

I had a though the other day – how would the controversial black uniforms have looked with our 90s uniform styles. I had a hunch how it would go but DAMN if the 94-96 version especially doesn’t look incredible. These look so good that the Twitter response was actually pretty decent?

First off – we have the Charlie Ward Era Unis from the late 80s until 1993 (do you think people were pissed in ’94 when they changed unis right after a title? Hmm.)

In my opinion these uniforms are a little too plain for the black to really, really work. It looks decent but I think if anything the Black/Garnet & Black/Gold look better than the all black here.

Next Up is the ’94-’96 unis – in my opinion the best of all the Florida State uniforms. How they only did this striping for 3 years I have no idea.

Honestly if they had done it, this would be the best alternate FSU uniform of all time. Any of the above really. The black looks AWESOME with the vintage crimson & mustard coloring. Unbeknownst to me – they actually made these jerseys for resale at one point!

Safe to say at the very least….if we had worn these in the 90s a lot of the older fans wouldn’t be so petrified of the “bad luck” black uniforms. Of course the record is going to be bad when bad teams are wearing the uniform!!!
