After months of speculation and years of Twitter followers asking me to mock up turquoise unis….they are finally here.
A couple months ago after a big Battles End event a few pictures leaked online with the turquoise jerseys in the background or actually on some boosters (about 6 sizes too small in most cases I might add).
Gabriel Isasi (IG: @gabrielisasiv) posted the first picture here with the turquoise jerseys in the background. Stephen Ponder (X: @StephenPonder) from Seminole Boosters then posted a picture in the actual jersey.
The appearance and style of these jerseys is not surprising at all as myself and other prominent FSU Twitter photoshoppers have been guessing this would be the Seminole Heritage look for the football team as soon as the university-wide initiative was announced. If you might recall last fall FSU started its Seminole Heritage campaign. It also released turquoise fan jerseys for purchase similar to the jerseys above.
So with all that – it’s kind of a no brainer that we are going to see the turquoise on the field at some point – I just didn’t think it would be as the non-contact jersey for the spring game! Credit to Seminoles.com, YouTube TV, @MadNole2 and @YouNoleTheVibez on Twitter for the photos below.
You might argue these were a one time thing – but given that these jerseys are all Nike’s Vapor F.U.S.E. template complete with the ACC patch and all I think that’s highly unlikely. I would say the chances we see these on the field this year are upwards of 80%.
A few other highlights from the game with the turquoise jerseys:
Here are a few other turquoise mockups that I’ve done as the Seminole Heritage initiative makes its way into other sports.
And one more thing – get your turquoise get from Fanatics through this link here.
