“Miami Vice was more than just a popular television program that aired from 1984-89 on NBC,” FIU wrote on their website. “It was a cultural phenomenon that had a profound impact on the city of Miami. The show’s vibrant colors, pulsating music, and stylish fashion made it an instant hit, capturing the imagination of audiences around the world. But Miami Vice did more than just entertain.
“It put Miami on the map, showcasing the city’s diverse culture and stunning beauty to a global audience, helping to establish the city as a top tourist destination.
“And perhaps Miami Vice’s most lasting impact is the way it shaped Miami’s cultural identity. The show’s portrayal of the city as a vibrant, multicultural, and dynamic metropolis helped redefine Miami’s image. Nearly forty years after its debut, Miami Vice’s impact on the city of Miami is still felt today. As the only NCAA football program with an on-campus stadium in Miami, FIU is proud to celebrate the legacy of Miami Vice and the cultural identity of this great city by outfitting FIU football players in vice-themed uniforms this fall, debuting Oct. 11 against UTEP.”
That right there at the end was most definitely a shot at The U. Gotta love it.
