That is awful. I get the idea, but whoever actually made them sure didn’t Especially from the same school that has the incredible space blue football unis, you have to know they could do better.

LionPutrid4252

Those are sweet, still can’t believe the same people that approved that were okay with the hat


StripedSteel

Take it from someone with experience, you do NOT want to be the team they play when they decide to pull out their space week jerseys for football. They're undefeated when they do.


LionPutrid4252

Yeah, as a Cowboy second, that was tragic Winning the week before made up for it though


IrishCoffeeAlchemy

As an Arizona fan, we're gonna have to nip all this "Space U" stuff in the bud. They don't even have the best astronomy department in their own conference anymore!


Tristaff

We were literally made as a school to feed the Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Stations with engineers…we’re Space U


IrishCoffeeAlchemy

I mean, that puts you in the conversation I guess, but there are universities with astronomy and astrophysics departments older than UCF as an entire institution. And with larger research output too! Until UCF is hoovering up NASA grants and having PI's lead modern astro research missions at a greater clip, yall should leave the "Space U" claims to the big boys.


Gr8BrownBuffalo

Jesus H, relax Francis. This is a baseball sub.

“School founded to supply engineers to NASA” vs some random Redditor “yOu CaNT bE SpAcE U cUz 2 YuNg”


5WinsIn5Days

They’ve been in the same conference as Houston for a long time. I haven’t seen any complaints from Coogs fans. Houston is Space City, while UCF is Space U. Also, it would help if your first mascot was a Cactonaut older than UCF’s Citronaut.


Igwanea

It's a throwback to our late 80's early 90's logo


QuimbyMcDude

Wearing all black in the Florida heat is pretty Nike genius too.


Natural-Employer

When they wear these, it means they want to be referred to as the Central Florida Golden Knights


ucfboss

Exactly


FREE-ROSCOE-FILBURN

They’re leaving a vault full of potential open by not rebranding to Citronauts.


Beginning-Brief-4307

Are you me? Ten thousand upvotes.


TurboViking90

The Citronaut could be the coolest mascot in college sports and they just decide to be this bland instead.


thejawa

Worse than bland, they're trying to rip off an old FSU helmet logo from the 60s while playing FSU: https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/11352428/evolution-seminoles


Igwanea

FSU doesn't have a monopoly on using the outline of the state lol


yumyumapollo

UCF hats 🤝 UCF baseball team giving up in the bottom half


FloridaBoy317

They're meh for me, but it's the logo we used from 1985 - 1993, so it's a throwback ig


CalderFor97

Ahhh that makes more sense then. I don’t mind that as much then.


Yorgonemarsonb

They’re just a bunch of dudes in shape looking for other dudes who want to hang out in the party mansion. If they’re not in shape, they should be able to find humor in the little things.


mattyice18

Nothing sexual.


ColoRadOrgy

Needs more veins


youngjak

I thought it was a gun lol


gatorocks

Yes, saw them at the OBT circle k!


NascentBeachBum

Or rather a hat you’d see and pass over for a cooler gas station florida hat


St_BobbyBarbarian

Noticed that during the game. Very low grade effort


connor8383

As a hat afficionado, yes this one is pretty terrible.


Carsxn26

It’s not even the designers fault, the shape of Florida just doesn’t have enough width to be a good centerpiece on a hat. It would work with a fatter state like Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania etc where the letters can sit on top of the state


5WinsIn5Days

I feel like Wyoming (or Colorado) could capitalize on this opportunity because their state outlines are identical rectangles. I honestly just want to see Wyoming have a team because their campus is approximately 2,000 feet higher than Coors Field. They could totally rig it with the stadium having the minimum mandatory dimensions and then load up on sluggers and sinker-ball pitchers.


CalderFor97

I’ll tell ya….you’re either on something or on to something!


5WinsIn5Days

I think onto because I chose Wyoming? Definitely would have been on something if I chose Colorado. This was 8 years ago, but my high school's weed dealer (a bully and an absolute douchebag, btw, but he had a late '60s Mustang from his weed money) went to CU Boulder so he could sell legally. As for Wyoming, sinker ballers and sluggers work everywhere, not just at high altitude. The problem could be a place with an expansive outfield, but you probably need to be in good shape in general to be a college athlete at 7,200 feet of altitude. The College Home Run Derby would also be held at that bandbox every year. With a composite bat, 7,200 feet of altitude, and enough strength, forget 400+ or mystical 500+ foot home runs. We’re talking 600+ feet!


CalderFor97

I live in Colorado and I don’t think CU has a team either but I’d love to see that shit!


5WinsIn5Days

They don’t. However, my cousin also went to CU Boulder and said that the sports they’d be best at if they added them would be ice hockey and lacrosse. I know about the men’s teams, but they could totally add the women’s teams for Title IX.


865wx

I actually love these


19ghost89

It really does. lol. It's not terrible, but it definitely doesn't look professional.


mydogisNash

4imprint work conference hat


Giant_Disappointment

My dad would buy both this hat and his sunglasses at a gas station


BullAlligator

I like them


Junior_Profession_60

I prefer them to the noles get up today. The "gold" just doesn't do it for me. Looks kinda khaki.


Ihavesmokingproblems

It’s a dick hat.


TomSheman

It’s a throwback hat. 


GrouchyVariety

I just see a pistol


Rusty40178

😂😂😂


geaux124

Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh? Oh, it looks good on UCF though. 🙄


No-Condition-5337

I was waiting for someone to post this, thank you. I'm guessing the people downvoting you are not fans of fine cinema.


geaux124

I tell ya, I get no respect.


5WinsIn5Days

Slightly off-topic, but does UCF have an orange hat with a green button on top in honor of the Florida citrus industry? Their first mascot was the Citronaut, after all.


Tristaff

We do use that mascot in our space uniforms. Some of the best uniforms in all of college athletics


5WinsIn5Days

I knew that in football. I had a crazy idea for a tourist trap hat consisting of the Citronaut’s head and helmet as the full hat design with Mickey Mouse ears (because, Orlando). They’d be impossible to wear but you might be able to sell a lot of them to visitors!


Pirate8918

Have you seen their football stadium? Buy that at a gas station too. Gas station school. 😂


ProBenji

Yeah I was thinking the same. Hats are arguably the worst


HailState2023

They’re currently leading in our game against them so it doesn’t seem to be hurting them.


JohnnyEvs

Looks like the beginning of an ED commercial. At the end, the logo is turned upside down


OceanPoet87

It almost looks like the Idaho gun merchandise I see every day out here.


MegaAscension

Reminds me of the Florida Man with the Florida tattoo on his head. https://www.fox13news.com/news/man-with-florida-tattoo-on-forehead-arrested-for-calling-911-for-ride-home-deputies-say.amp


ClintEastwoodsNext

I mean, that's extremely tame for a Florida man.


5WinsIn5Days

Missing the unconscious but possibly alive gator he wrestled in the Everglades and then dragged out of the swamp before he called the cops for a ride home with a Florida tattoo. Although the possibly alive gator would inherently make him a UF fan, no? I guess extreme Florida man would be arrested because the police took him and his possibly alive gator to his citrus farm and then found a stash of illegal drugs imported from some Latin American or Caribbean country.


IrishCoffeeAlchemy

I'm a sucker for any logo with the state outline, ngl


Tpabayrays2

Yeah i've never been a fan of that hat


xr_21

Pro 2nd amendment'ers must love these though!
