FSU football: Why do Boston College uniforms look exactly like FSU?

They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery, and Boston College seems to blatantly want to copy FSU football.

Who wouldn’t? Boston College has been playing football since 1893, and FSU began the modern era of its football program in 1947.

FSU dominates every conceivable category you can think of except all-time wins, but that’s because Boston College had a nearly 60-year head start.

FSU has a higher winning percentage, more national titles, conference championships, consensus All-Americans, bowl wins, first-round draft picks, Heisman winners, and I could go on and on.

FSU holds a 13-5 head-to-head lead in the series, including wins the last two times the teams played, which have featured two of the worst FSU teams of all time.

Boston College switched to Adidas as their apparel provider, and it looks as though Adidas saw FSU and said let’s copy that ladies and gentlemen! Check it for yourself:

I mean, it was bad enough when an NFL announcer made the mistake of saying Brian Burns played at Boston College when called as the first-round draft pick of the Carolina Panthers in 2019.

These uniforms look exactly like FSU!

At least in the game, you can see some differences in the Boston College uniform. Boston College has its maroon and gold stripe across the lower quad area.

The font on their numbers is a bit different, and they have a maroon stripe down the center of their helmet.

Now the font on their numbers looks just like FSU, and they have the white numbers outlined in gold like the Noles. The maroon and gold stripes they’ve had on their pants in the past are no more either.

The maroon jersey doesn’t even look maroon anymore! If you want to be like FSU football, just say so Boston College. Boston College had been around forever, and nobody ever thought they had great uniforms, and FSU’s uniforms has always been thought of as one of the best.

Hopefully, Nike can update FSU football soon and further distinguish the Noles from this imitator.
