Maine steals Alabama logo on April Fools' Day
Maine finished 3-8 this past season, its worst record since 1995.
So, the school is changing up its nickname and logo with arguably the greatest dynasty in history in hopes that some of its success will rub off.
The Black Bears announced on Twitter that they’d be changing their nickname to the “Elephants” and adopting a logo that Alabama fans might recognize.

Of course, this is just an April Fools’ joke. Or is it?
