Some college towns are known for their traditions.
Others are known for their school spirit.
Tallahassee is known for both.
In 2017, Barefoot Campus Outfitter opened its Tallahassee location, becoming Store #15 in the growing Barefoot family. As we expanded into new college communities across the country, we were drawn to places where university pride wasn't just part of campus life—it was part of the city's identity.
Florida State University was exactly that kind of place.
From the moment you arrive in Tallahassee, it's impossible not to feel the energy that surrounds Florida State. Garnet and gold can be found everywhere, from campus landmarks and local businesses to game-day celebrations that bring together generations of Seminoles.
That's what drew us to FSU.
At Barefoot, we've always believed that collegiate apparel is about more than what you wear. It's about representing the experiences, traditions, and memories that make a university special.
And Florida State has a tradition unlike any other.
From the iconic Unconquered statue to the excitement of game days at Doak Campbell Stadium, Florida State is built on a legacy of pride, perseverance, and excellence. Students arrive in Tallahassee ready to begin a new chapter, but they quickly become part of something much bigger—a community that stays connected long after graduation.
When we opened our doors in 2017, we were excited to become part of that story.
Over the years, we've welcomed thousands of Seminoles through our store.
We've seen incoming freshmen shop for their very first Florida State t-shirt before move-in day.
We've helped families gear up for football weekends and campus visits.
We've celebrated graduates preparing for their next adventure while proudly taking a piece of Florida State with them.
And we've welcomed alumni back to Tallahassee who still feel the same connection to FSU they felt as students.
Those moments are what make college communities special.
Because being a Seminole isn't something that lasts four years.
It's something that lasts a lifetime.
One of the things we've always admired about Florida State is the passion of its fan base. Whether it's football season, baseball season, graduation weekend, or a regular Tuesday on campus, Seminole pride is always on display.
You see it in the traditions.
You see it in the community.
You see it in the people who proudly wear garnet and gold wherever they go.
That kind of loyalty is something special.
And it's one of the reasons we're proud to be part of the Florida State community.
Since opening Store #15, we've celebrated alongside Seminoles through championship seasons, unforgettable victories, graduation ceremonies, and countless milestones. Through it all, we've watched new generations of students create memories that will stay with them forever.
The first game-day outfit.
The lucky hat worn every football Saturday.
The hoodie that made it through late-night study sessions.
The alumni gear that keeps Florida State close, no matter where life leads.
Those aren't just products.
They're part of a story.
Today, our Tallahassee store continues to serve students, alumni, parents, and fans who proudly represent Florida State University. Whether you're shopping for your first Seminole tee, preparing for game day, or looking for the perfect alumni gift, we're honored to be a small part of your journey.
Because every Barefoot store begins with a great university.
And few universities have a legacy quite like Florida State.
We're proud to call ourselves part of Seminole Nation.
Go Noles.
