The 1905 Buckman Act reorganized the existing seven Florida colleges into three institutions, segregated by race and gender. As a result of this reorganization, the coeducational Florida State College was renamed the Florida State College for Women. The Florida State University became a co-ed institution in 1947 with most of the newly enrolled male students back from service in World War II. The `` Seminoles '' name, chosen by students in a 1947 vote, alludes to Florida 's Seminole people who in the early nineteenth century resisted efforts of the United States government to remove them from Florida. Since 1978 the teams have been represented by the symbols Osceola and Renegade. The symbol represents an actual historical figure, Seminole war leader Osceola, whose clothing represents appropriate period dress. The athletic logo, in use since the early 1970s, shows a profile of a shouting Seminole warrior in circle. The model for the logo was Florida State music faculty member Thomas Wright, composer of the Florida State University Fight Song and Victory Song. The use of names and images associated with Seminole history is officially sanctioned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Athletic programs resumed and Florida State fielded its first football team in 43 years with FSU facing Stetson on October 18, 1947. Florida State was a founding member of the Dixie Conference, in 1948, when other southern institutions seeking to create a `` purely amateur '' athletic conference based on the principle of complete amateurism, with no athletic scholarships. Three years later, FSU left the conference to become an independent, having won ten conference titles including three in football and two in men 's track and field. In 1976, Florida State joined the Metro Conference in all sports except football, which remained independent. For fifteen years FSU competed and won sixty - eight conference titles as well as five national titles including two in softball, two in women 's track and field, and one in women 's golf. Since 1991, Florida State has been a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Since joining the conference, FSU has won eighty - five ACC titles and eight national titles including three in football, three in men 's track and field, one in soccer, and one in cheerleading. After the 2005 conference expansion was complete, FSU was placed in the newly formed Atlantic Division. Garnet Gold Black White 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 championships wearing purple and gold uniforms. When FSC became Florida State College for Women in 1905, 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. On April 11, 2014, as part of the university 's ' Ignition Tradition ' rebranding of the program, white and black were added to the official school colors. The addition of the two colors is to better represent the colors present on the flag of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Rivalries Florida State maintains two traditional rivals in all sports with the Florida Gators and the Miami Hurricanes. Florida State University is the only school in the State of Florida to play both Florida and Miami year in and year out in all sports. Most notably is the football rivalry with the Gators who hold a 34 -- 26 -- 2 all - time lead against the Seminoles. The series began with Florida dominating for the first few years, but it has since become more balanced. In the past forty meetings, FSU has gone 23 - 16 - 1. The rivalry with Miami dates back to 1951, when the Hurricanes defeated the Seminoles 35 -- 13 in their inaugural meeting. The schools have played uninterrupted since 1966, with Miami holding the all - time advantage, 32 -- 30. Florida State holds a 10 -- 4 advantage since the Hurricanes became a conference foe in 2004. Florida State recently developed a rivalry with their Atlantic Division foe Clemson. Florida State leads the all - time series 20 -- 11. The rivalry began when Bobby Bowden 's son Tommy faced his father in their first meeting in 1999. This was the first time in Division I-A history that a father and a son met as opposing head coaches in a football game. During the time Tommy coached at Clemson, the game was known as the `` Bowden Bowl ''. Bobby won the series in the 9 years it played before Tommy 's resignation, going 5 -- 4. In the post Bowden era, the series is tied 5 -- 5, with a lone win at Death Valley in 2013. In addition to their in - state rivals, Florida State enjoys baseball rivalries, primarily with Georgia Tech. Florida State University was founded with money donated by Francis Eppes VII, a grandson of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States ( 1801 -- 1809 ), principal author of the Declaration of Independence ( 1776 ), and founder of the University of Virginia. As a result, both teams play for the Jefferson - Eppes Trophy in football. With the recent realignment of the divisions, the Seminoles found themselves in one division and the Cavaliers in another.

The FSC program posted a record of 7 -- 6 -- 1 over the next three seasons, including a record of 3 -- 1 against their rivals from the old University of Florida ( formerly known as Florida Agricultural College ) in Lake City. In 1904, the Florida State College football team became the first - ever state champions of Florida after beating both the University of Florida and Stetson University. In 1905, however, the Florida Legislature reorganized the state 's higher education system by abolishing the existing state - supported colleges, and creating the new University of the State of Florida in Gainesville, and the new Florida State College for Women in Tallahassee. Many former Florida State College male students transferred to the new University of the State of Florida ( renamed the University of Florida in 1909 ). Following World War II, Florida State College for Women became coeducational and was renamed Florida State University in 1947, and the school once again started a football team. After its first season, FSU joined the Dixie Conference, which it won in each of the three years it was a member. It withdrew from the conference in 1951 and competed as an independent team for the next forty years.

( January 2018 ) Florida State University has invested and continues to invest largely in the athletic centers and facilities around campus. The most visible stadium is Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium which is surrounded by the University Center, which houses the university administration, several colleges and departments. Coyle E. Moore Athletics Center Moore Center The Coyle E. Moore Athletic Center is located on the north side of the University Center and is the center of Florida State Athletics and it 's 400 - plus student - athletes. It is home to the Athletics Administration and support staff and houses the Executive Staff, Business Office, Computer Information Services, Coaches ' Video, Seminole Productions, College of Communication faculty offices and student edit rooms, Academic Support, Student Services, Compliance, Sports Information, Digital Media, Marketing and Promotions, Facilities and Event Management, classrooms, a dining facility with a full service kitchen, and a mailroom. Initially built in the 1950s as a football field house, the original infrastructure of the athletic center plumbing, sewage, and air - conditioning had become inadequate to the demands placed upon it by far more student - athletes and staff than it was designed for. In 2004, the Moore Building underwent an overhaul makeover to match the appearance of the rest of the University Center with a more efficient floor plan to allow for more room for growth. The new facility caters to the student athlete 's needs by housing a dining hall, a 15,000 square foot training and rehab facility, and a more than 8,000 square foot tutorial and study hall space. A multi-purpose theater for team meetings, press conferences, and symposiums is also located on the first floor of the Moore Athletic Center. The main level showcases Florida State 's talented student - athletes with wall - to - wall vibrant memories of historic Seminole seasons and athletic achievements, including the 1993 and 1999 football national championships. In an effort to enhance the studies of Florida State students, there is also a designated space for athletic - training curriculum and a studio provided for the College of Communication students to gain hands on experience producing work for Seminole athletics. Albert J. Dunlap Athletic Training Facility Florida State Football Practice Fields The Dunlap Indoor Practice Facility is the indoor field used by the football team. It is located adjacent to the stadium, next to the outdoor practice fields. Bill Harkins Field at the Manley R. Whitcomb Band Complex Bill Harkins Field Bill Harkins Field at the Manley R. Whitcomb Band Complex is an artificial turf with rubber fill field built near the Flying High Circus on Chieftain Way. The field is an exact replica of what Bobby Bowden field looked like on game days at the time of the field 's construction. Since then several alterations have been made to the actual field. Bill Harkins, head coach of the men 's lacrosse team from 2004 to 2013, donated $350,000 towards the construction of the new field. Previously the space was a grassy field that often alternated between dusty and muddy. The Florida State University Marching Chiefs have primary use of the field and use it for their daily practices. The football team and lacrosse teams have secondary use of the field with the lacrosse team using the field for practices and games. The football team sometimes uses the practice field in anticipation of games at stadiums with artificial turf. Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium Doak Campbell Stadium The stadium, named after FSU President Doak Campbell, hosted its first game against the Randolph - Macon College Yellowjackets on October 7, 1950 with the Seminoles winning the game 40 -- 7. At that time the facility had a seating capacity of 15,000. Florida State began to play at Centennial Field during the team 's 1947 season and would continue to play there for the following two years ( 1948 and 1949 ). Florida State College -- FSU predecessor institution -- also fielded teams from 1902 to 1904 ( precise location of where games were played is not documented ). Doak Campbell Stadium, with its original capacity of 15,000 in 1950, was built at a cost of $250,000. In 1954, the stadium grew to a capacity of 19,000. Six thousand more seats were added in 1961. During the Bill Peterson era ( 1960 -- 70 ), the stadium was expanded to 40,500 seats, and it remained at that capacity for the next 14 years. Since that time, the stadium has expanded to 82,300, largely in part to the success of the football team under head coach Bobby Bowden coupled with the ever growing student body. It now is the second largest football stadium in the ACC. Aesthetically, a brick facade surrounding the stadium matches the architectural design of most of the buildings on the university 's campus. In addition to the obvious recreational uses, The University Center surrounds the stadium and houses many of the university 's offices. The field was officially named Bobby Bowden field on November 20, 2004 as Florida State hosted intrastate rival Florida. Donald L. Tucker Center Donald L. Tucker Center The Donald L. Tucker Center is the home for Seminole basketball is named in honor of Donald L. Tucker, Esq., a former Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives and Special Ambassador for the United States to the Dominican Republic. Prior to the 2000 -- 01 basketball season, the center completed an expansion project which began in October 1998 in which 34 luxury suites and 468 club seats at mid-level in the arena were added. In addition, the upper level seating was configured to offer better viewing and additional concession stands and restrooms were added. The Spotlight Grill, a 450 - seat arena - view restaurant includes an outdoor patio and ledge seating for viewing arena events. The multi-purpose facility, which opened its doors in 1981, covers over 22 acres in the heart of Tallahassee 's downtown district.

It provides a permanent home for the Seminoles to practice, hold meetings and watch film. The Seminoles have their own practice floor, locker rooms, coaches ' offices, meeting and film rooms, an expansive player 's lounge, a tradition room and offices for support staff. Don Veller Seminole Golf Course Seminole Golf Course The Don Veller Seminole Golf course was originally built in 1962, later redesigned in 2004 and is home to the Seminoles ' practice greens, training center and the Dave Middleton Golf Center. The golf center houses the SGC clubhouse and is also the location of the team 's private facilities. Florida State golfers enjoy a comfortable team room, on course workout facility and state of the art training center.

In the fall of 2006, the stadium got a facelift as a Florida State unveiled a brand new video scoreboard for the 2007 season. The team building underwent a multi-million dollar renovation to the second floor which began in October 2008.

Tully Gymnasium also features new arena - style padded seating with armrests which were installed to create a more comfortable atmosphere for Seminole fans while watching Florida State volleyball. On November 2, 2000 in a special ceremony, Florida State dedicated the floor of Tully Gymnasium to Lucy McDaniel, the first woman in the state of Florida to donate more than one million dollars to a women 's athletic program. The facility became known as the Lucy McDaniel Volleyball Court at Tully Gymnasium prior to the 2001 season, in honor of the gifts and support that McDaniel has provided to the Lady Seminole volleyball program and Florida State athletics.

The varsity tennis courts were named for Loucks in 1981. He served as Dean of men from 1957 to 1967 and was known as a servant of leadership, service and devotion to many worthy causes. With the first stage of construction completed in the summer of 1993, the Scott Speicher Tennis Center at the Donald Loucks Courts opened its gates to the public for the first time at a Children 's Miracle Network charity tournament. Since then, many successful tournaments including the 1996 NCAA Women 's Championships and 2007 -- 2010 NCAA Regionals have graced the courts at one of Florida State University 's premier athletic facilities.

This discovery involved athletes in ten sports programs who were taking an online course in music history. An NCAA investigation resulted in scholarship limits and negation of wins involving compromised athletes. Florida State appealed parts of the decision. The penalties removed fourteen football wins from the career total of Seminoles football coach Bobby Bowden, yet the coach temporarily claimed the all - time record for Division 1 football wins in 2012 when a far larger number of victories was deducted from the career total of Pennsylvania State University football coach Joe Paterno. Paterno 's wins were later reinstated, however, following an appeal from the Penn State Board of Trustees in January 2015., leaving Coach Bowden with the 2nd all - time winningest record in Division 1 football. Additionally, FSU vacated 22 wins in men 's basketball, a NCAA post season baseball victory, one national championship in men 's track and field, a NCAA tournament victory in women 's basketball, as well as other wins in these and several other men 's and women 's sports.
