FIU Unveils Sublime ‘Miami Vice’ Football Uniforms

The Florida International Golden Panthers will be rocking some exquisite new uniforms in 2023.

Florida International University’s football program unveiled some incredible new uniforms they’ll wear for a select game during the 2023 NCAA season. 

The Golden Panthers’ official Twitter account released a hype video Wednesday night in which they teased the new-look “Miami Vice” uniforms, and they are stunning.

In line with the popular “Miami Vice” theme, the uniforms feature a black base with pink lettering and some light blue detail. The area code “305” is written in hot pink on the black helmets, with a blue panther head replacing the “0.” The jersey’s shoulder pads also feature three pink palm trees. 

FIU also informed fans when the team would be wearing the jerseys: during the team’s nationally televised game against UTEP on Oct. 11. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2. 

For the 305. Welcome to #ViceU

The Golden Panthers will be saving their look for a special occasion, as the clash against UTEP is their lone game on national television this season.

Last season’s clash against the Miners resulted in a brutal 40-6 defeat for FIU, so the school will look to exact revenge on UTEP in the flashy new uniforms during October’s rematch. 

FIU finished the 2022 campaign with a 4-8 record, a mark the Golden Panthers will look to improve on during Mike MacIntyre’s second season as head coach.
