Florida State football has gone out of its way to invite the Sanannah Bananas to play on the confines of Doak Campbell Stadium. This is allowing the program to gain more revenue, which is something that they sued the conference over because they were not making enough.
However, it is a nice amount of money to host events in the stadium, but the Seminoles could take it to the next level. Florida State finished with a 5-7 record last season and needs to create as much positive buzz as possible, having six losing seasons in eight years.
Arch-rival Miami competed in the College Football Playoff, and Florida got the "new car smell" with the hiring of Jon Sumrall. Something has to change in a hurry for Florida State's football program.
Florida State could follow in the footsteps of the Arkansas Razorbacks with the partnership
The Arkansas Razorbacks announced earlier this month that they would be partnering with Tyson Foods by wearing a jersey patch. This was game-breaking news because it opens the door for other programs to get partnerships, too.
Today, we’re proud to introduce a new partnership rooted in tradition, impact and the future of Razorback Athletics. 🐗

In collaboration with @TysonFoods , Razorback student-athletes will debut a new jersey
patch next season. Representing our shared commitment to Arkansas.

Florida State had a report out there, which suggested that their program is in debt. This comes as no surprise considering what conference they are in, as well as having back-to-back losing seasons, making renovations to Doak Campbell Stadium, and building a new football-only facility. This wouldn't be just for football. It could help all of the sports.
This is a reasoning that the fan base might want to keep the classic finish of the jersey without the bulky advertisement, but the football program needs to generate a cash flow. It would be a good fit for the Seminoles to partner with "Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino" or maybe even Powerade to troll with the Gators' likeness of Gatorade.
Nonetheless, I am not against the idea if the opportunity presented itself. The main concern is that Florida State has to win on the football field in 2026.
