Florida teases hideous football uniforms as April Fools’ Day joke

You know what’s not fun on April 1? Waking up to your alma mater’s Twitter account making an April Fools’ Day joke that just isn’t very funny.

And the official University of Florida Twitter account teasing some truly hideous new uniforms for the Florida Gators is exactly that.

This is obviously an April Fools’ Day joke, and one in keeping with that account’s tradition of making them under President W. Kent Fuchs. The jersey shown resembles an academic robe not unlike the one Fuchs wears to graduation, the helmet bears the UF logo that the school uses rather than one that the University Athletic Association uses, and the person modeling the jersey is very clearly an older man — likely Fuchs, which will likely be revealed later today.
