As a former president of the Women’s Club Lacrosse team at FSU, the rules of the university’s marketing team have always been over reaching and unnecessary for teams that ultimately represent the university. However, no longer allowing teams to utilize any part of Florida State’s well known symbols and branding is unacceptable. The men’s and women’s club teams compete FOR Florida State University and should be allowed to do so behind uniforms that make them proud to be students.
As a graduate of Florida Gulf Coast, and former Lacrosse Club Team President, who had to deal with similar changes it’s absurd to not be able to use school logos and phrases. While FSU Men’s Lacrosse might not be a varsity sport, they still represent the university with great pride and should be allowed to continue the ability to represent a school with unique history and tradition. The officers spend countless hours of blood, sweat, and tears behind the scenes to help run their program to the best of their ability. If the issue is trying to distinct a club sport between a varsity sport, there are better ways to go about this issue than to essentially ban the use of all logos, designs and phrases. Look at schools like U of Florida, who have to add a small sports clubs logo to their uniforms, socials, etc… yet are still allowed to represent and utilize their schools design assets.
Allow FSU Lacrosse to represent school pride.
Please allow students to resume classes online as this small effort will help give students an opportunity to regulate their nervous system and complete any assignments without fearing for their safety on campus. Resuming in person may have a negative impact grades and overall mental wellness if they are in constant fear.
