To honor the Seminole Tribe, Florida State will again don their black, “Unconquered” uniforms for this weekend’s homecoming game against Duke.
The all-black uniforms, which were designed by Nike, were unveiled last year against Boston College as a way to honor the Seminole Tribe. The uniforms bear the word “Unconquered” in recognition of the tribe’s status as the only Native Americans that have not negotiated a formal peace treaty with the United States.
FSU is 0-1 in the all-black “Unconquered” uniforms.

When I was in the automotive industry I saw the extension of car loans going into 54, then 60, then 72 months and with the extension of the loan installments came the inevitable negative equity. In general the longer the term you finance for the more likely you are to find yourself “upside down”. The motorcycle industry is no stranger to this as well and recently with the motorcycle finance companies offering loans that extend payments out as far as 72 months the problem is just getting worse. This is even more common with motorcycles that depreciate rapidly.
Just as with automotive loans when you extend the payments out over more than three years you begin to put yourself in a situation where your debt exceeds the value of your motorcycle. This is even more true if you do not put money down or even worse if you trade in a bike that you still owe on.
