At precisely 7 p.m. Eastern on Monday — and, thus, precisely five days before kickoff of Florida’s game against Texas A&M this Saturday — the Florida Gators football program sent out this tweet, with a nine-second video.
The video’s swampy sound effects and alligator — uh, bellow? Is that a bellow? — were not what had people talking, though.
No, the immediate reaction to the video, which is now @GatorsFB’s proudly pinned tweet and which prominently features a Nike swoosh, was “...oh, no, please not alternate uniforms.”
And then we found out that Nike has produced alternate uniforms.
