Description

An orange, white, and green Florida A&M University Marching Band jacket (a) and pants (b). The wool jacket and polyester and wool pants are embellished with green and white colored thread embroidery and brass metal buttons.

Both padded shoulders each have one orange and green color strap on the shoulder, and each sleeve has two bars with green bands featuring a rattler embroidered snake on the wrist. Each sleeve has an embroidery in a shape akin to the fleur-de-lis features above the two bars on each sleeve. Attached to the left should be an orange and green polyester-colored cape.

The off-white men’s polyester and wool pants feature suspenders, with a broad white band spanning the length of each leg embedded with the snake logo. There is black Velcro at the front of the waist, a brass zipper, a cream color plastic button, and a metal hook for closure.
