After selling turquoise retail jerseys last fall as a part of its Seminole Heritage Initiative, it seems the Florida State soccer program is on the verge of sporting turquoise jerseys on the sector – maybe as quickly as this season.
The Nike Vapor F.U.S.E. jerseys have been noticed on hangers contained in the locker room at Doak Campbell Stadium throughout a current occasion for boosters. They even featured an ACC patch on the proper shoulder, matching the Seminoles’ garnet home and white road jerseys.
Florida State’s basketball group has worn turquoise uniforms at least twice every season since 2013-14 as a part of Nike’s N7 program, which has introduced consciousness to varied points impacting Native American communities.
The colour turquoise represents concord, friendship and fellowship within the Native American tradition, and the college has adopted it as an unofficial colour as a method to honor its long-standing relationship with the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
Moreover, the goalkeeper for Florida State ladies’s soccer program started sporting a turquoise jersey final season and the soccer coaches wore turquoise gear for the Seminoles’ 38-20 Homecoming win over Duke final October.
It’s value noting, although, that Florida State had a white helmet on show within the locker room for 12 years earlier than it was formally added to the rotation in 2022, so this doesn’t assure the turquoise jerseys might be worn anytime quickly.
But when they’re, we’re guessing they’ll make their on-field debut in the course of the Seminoles’ Homecoming matchup with Charleston Southern on Nov. 23, although it’s unclear what colour helmets and pants they’ll be paired with.
