    Let me go back to what you said:

    But for those of us living in the modern age, the link between the symbol and Nazism was pretty much cemented in WW2. Ignoring this in something meant for advertising purposes is still a bit of a goof.
    I agree with this statement. I wouldn't put a Swastika on any logo either no matter what the history of it was.

    The problem here is that you assumed the designers knew that you would see a Swastika in the "FSU" but chose to use it anyway. That's a mighty big assumption. The better assumption is that they couldn't imagine that someone would confuse a blocked "S" with a Swastika.

    I keep going back to the logo and I still do not see a swastika.

    Look at the emblem at the top of the feather (the interlocking FSU). I see it if I look at other parts of the image, and see the interlocking FSU from the corner of my eye.

    I didn't notice it the first time, but I do now that it was pointed out.

    FSU has new uniforms too. All this talk about tradition, but the tradition does not extend to the uniform I guess.

    Really surprised they decided to make a change right after winning it all. Well, maybe not that surprised since it's all about marketing and making money nowadays.

    I actually like the new uniforms for the most part. The gold helmet looks very similar to their "old" one, except they updated the spears and added a gold facemask.

    My litmus test for new uniforms is if you can turn on the TV and recognize the team. If FSU stays with their traditional uni set, then I don't think the change is over-the-top. But, I'm sure they'll wear the new alternates, so they'll become unrecognizable.
