On a colder Saturday in the middle of November during the 1992 season, the FSU football team came out on the field against the Tulane Green Wave wearing something the program had never worn before: the Seminoles were rocking both garnet jerseys and garnet pants thanks to a donation from former football player turned legendary actor Burt Reynolds.
The all garnet look was very successful in its debut – with the Seminoles edging the Green Wave by a sarcastically close score of 70-7 that day – and in the following game when FSU football dominated the rival Florida Gators 45-24 to end the regular season with a bang.
