2023 Uniform Update?

After the controversial uniform & logo change in 2013, many fans have been clamoring for new uniforms (and a new logo but I’m not even going to give that the time of day). Will that day finally come in 2023? A couple reasons why Noles fans are thinking the time may have come:

  • Ingram Smith on the Nolecast a while back stated that (paraphrasing here) would not be surprised if Florida State introduced new uniforms that look more like Oklahoma State in the near future.
  • Seminoles Equipment put out a vague tweet about an announcement coming September 3rd – I think this is just them having fun with fans BUT some people think they would actually release new unis the day of the season opener next year.
  • I have also had a couple “sources” (emphasis of “sources”) that may be completely unreliable DM me that uniforms are coming that look very similar to a concept I put out last year.

What does all of this mean? Maybe nothing, but it’s fun to experiment and think about what that might look like.

First, if we are putting uniforms out that look like OSU and my old concept, those two pieces of information go together. That would likely mean the collar & sleeve patterns are pared down and reduced on a new uni template. This change is something many people have thought of and asked for over the years.

To me this is almost an updated, cleaner version of the 94-96 trim. My only concern is if the pattern is really too busy for the trim to look good, especially on the sleeves. I decided to put together a couple real life examples – that pattern that small is extremely difficult to photoshop but this can at least give you an idea of what it might look like. The pattern would be nonexistent in the picture of Jammie.

This update would be awesome and I really think would satisfy just about everyone on the uniform front. There are some crazies that won’t stop until we have the 2013 uniforms but that isn’t realistically happening.

One thing that I think would be a nice touch is moving the numbers to the sleeves. This just evens out the uniforms a bit so all of the graphics aren’t crammed in the middle in one spot. Some may disagree but I think this would look great if the sleeve caps go away.
