In the tradition of the ManBearPig, here’s the BroncoGator

I knew they were obsessed, but some Florida fans have started to get all “Sleeping with the Enemy” with Tim Tebow.  They’ve stalked him at the fair and have now broken into his house, where the straightening of towels and meticulous lining up of cans in the cupboard has begun.  These folks just… can’t… let… him… go.

Now an especially attached fan has gone the length of morphing the logo of Tebow’s new team (the NFL’s Denver Broncos) with that of the Gators.  Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the answer to Napoleon Dynamite’s Liger, the BroncoGator:

Unlike the Liger, the BroncoGator has no magic powers beyond the ability to infringe on two copyrighted logos simultaneously.  In my opinion, the mixture of the two sort of looks like the Florida Gator went Ghost Rider on everyone

Over at broncogator.com, there’s a whole host of merchandise you can purchase with the logo, from hats to baby clothes to polo shirts.  An entire family can proudly display their unhealthy obsession for all the world to see!  If you’re not satisfied with just wearing it, you can follow it on Facebook along with 20,000+ other cultists.

No athlete in recent history has brought the John Hinckley out in people the way Tebow has done to the Gator fan base.  I pity John Brantley, the guy faced with the unenviable task of being Florida’s next starting quarterback.  After his first bad game, will BroncoGator clad fans chase him through the streets of Gainesville for committing the egregious crime of not being Tim Tebow?

Luckily for the enterprising guy behind this BroncoGator deal, the Bronco and Gator logos are actually a good match in the world of logo morphing.  I’m just glad Tebow wasn’t drafted by Green Bay.  First off, “PackerGator” just sounds wrong, but the guy would also have to explain why he’s mixing Georgia’s helmet logo with Florida’s.  Would that cross a line even with the Tebow Cultists?
