Garnet and Gold
Florida State's school colors of garnet and gold are a
merging of the University's past. In 1904 and 1905 the Florida State College won football cham-pionships
wearing purple and gold uniforms. When FSC became Florida State College for Women in 1905, the football
team was forced to attend an all-male school in Gainesville. The following year, the FSCW student body
selected crimson as the official school color. The administration in 1905 took crimson and combined it
with the recognizable purple of the championship football teams to achieve the color garnet. The
now-famous garnet and gold colors were first used on an FSU uniform in a 14-6 loss to Stetson on
October 18, 1947.

military or when faced with the unforgiving wilderness of the Florida Everglades.
