not only did you play like shit, but you also looked like shit. the NC$$ should legislate a rule: no vertical lettering on the sides of pants. jesus. let me guess, they let the players give input on this? they could take a couple lessons from oregon players. good god.

How about teams just having Home and Away uniforms instead of twenty different variations of suck?

They looked awesome. It was a tribute uniform to be worn one time. It's way better than that shit Miami, UF and Va tech tried to pull off. Our coaches lost us that game. We shoulf have just downed the ball going into the half and yet we deiced to throw a 10 yard out and it gets picked off. I feel so bad for our players. Our defensive coaches coach there asses off yet our offensive coaching staff is so inept. Pleade G-d let Bobby retire so we can get Petrino in here to right the ship. Our players deserve better.

i'm voting that they didn't look awesome.

This is a thread about FSU's shit uniforms, not FSU's shit coaching/players. Start another thread, sissy. Don't expect much out of it though. We care more about FSU's shit uni's than we do about the team itself.

BTW, 'unconquered'?
Yeah, that's appropriate.

I think they mean sexually.
Supposedly they've all taken a vow of virginity until marriage.

'Unconquered' is a tribute to the Seminole Tribe of Florida.

Cicero wrote:'Unconquered' is a tribute to the Seminole Tribe of Florida.

Needless to say, the Seminole tribe should demand the removal of the word.

Aren't the Seminoles the tribe who were forced to move from Florida to Oklahoma on the 'trail of tears'?

If so, that's a rather fair definition of being "conquered".

Cicero wrote:They looked awesome.

no, they didn't. those looked disgraceful, "one-time" tribute uniform or not. and what does this say about the excess in big time athletic departments where they would literally waste tons of money on making 85 or so jerseys and pants for a one-time occasion?

hopefully this was lesson learned for FSU.

oh and sissy, you're pathetic.

Cicero wrote:It was a tribute uniform to be worn one time.

That's not what Bowden was quoted as saying. They might wear them once a season or so.

Oh, no way Petrino would leave Louisville for FSU.

Exactly how can an indian tribe who's forced to live on a reservation consider themselves to be "unconquered"?

I don't see the Seminoles calling the shots. I don't see the U.S. government living on reservations set up by the Seminoles.

Yep, the Seminoles (indian tribe or football team) are conquered.

I doubt very seriously that FSU spent a dime on those unis. Nike paid for them and is hoping to make it back in jersey sales and marketing buzz.

They never signed a peace treaty with the U.S. Government. TO my knowledge there are no Indian reservations in the State of Florida for the Seminole tribe.

Mucho, that's one strange way of declaring 'bode.

The U.S. government didn't even require a peace treaty from 'em, like they did with the more troublesome tribes. They just went on ahead and took the Seminole land and used it to build condos, colleges, golf courses, Wal-Marts and Hooters joints and the 'Noles call this "unconquered"...

Gotcha.

Btw, FSU didn't sign a peace treaty with Boston College at the conclusion of today's game either.

gotcha. that makes perfect sense.

I agree. I'm not saying I liked the uni's at all.

Upon further review, rack the Seminoles:

Only one group of Indians -- the Seminoles -- successfully resisted removal and they did so fiercely. Their resistance to removal brought about the Second Seminole War. It began on December 28, 1835, when a column of 108 soldiers led by Major Dade was massacred by Seminole warriors at the Dade Battle in Sumpter County. Just four days later, on December 31, the famous Seminole leader Osceola (pronounced as Asi-Yaholo) with only 250 warriors attacked a column of 750 men under General Duncan Clinch in the Battle of Withlacoochee in Citrus County. He soundly defeated the soldiers. Osceola promised to fight the white invaders "till the last drop of Seminole blood has moistened the dust of my hunting ground."

Somehow, since those "white invaders" did in fact manage to take over all of the southeast, I gotta figger that little saga is missing a few key subsequent chapters...

More to the point though, think of all the other possible football pants inscriptions Nike could sponsor...

Okay, we've got FSU, and "Unconquered"...

Could the tribe not beat BC either? Nice tribute to them.

How long will Bobby let this go-on? FSU still has more talent than 90% of the teams out there, no excuse for not being a top25 program.

bwahaha.

That was inevitable.

The point remains that the Seminoles didn't succumb to being forcefully removed from their land, when the Cherokees, Choctaws, and assorted other tribes did.

Rack FSU for honoring their namesake, "The Unconquered", on their unis.

With all the BS that's been going down about groups and individuals getting their collective panties in a bunch over naming teams after American Indians, it's rather enlightening to see why some teams actually do that.

It's a sign that they respect the heritage. Jeez, you PC dumbfucks filing lawsuits over innocous names like 'Redskins'... do you seriously think that any team would intentionally name themselves after a group of people that they didn't respect?

The Seminole tribe today approves of FSU using their namesake.

Rack 'em both.

In all seriousness I have no problem with either the Seminole tribe's pride or FSU's decision to try to honor the Seminole tribe with the new unis. That being said, let's not get carried away here with feel good revisionist history. The Seminole tribe's land and their way of life was taken from them. They were punted off to the side. No two ways about it.

Forcibly? Does it matter?

Whether forcibly or voluntarily, yep, they were in fact...conquered. They lost the dominion to the "white invaders", same as all other tribes, and doing so certainly wasn't their preference...
