We Wish The Colorado Rapids April Fools' Day Uniforms Were Their Permanent Uniforms

Colorado Rapids April Fools' Day Uniforms Just Won The Internet

The Colorado Rapids' April Fools' Day uniforms may have been a joke, but they just completely won the Internet.

The Major League Soccer team announced on Monday that the burgundy and white design was out and a new leather fringe and short-shorts design was in -- the former uniforms of the Caribou of Colorado, a North American Soccer League team that played for only a single season in 1978.

The announcement was of course an April Fools' prank, but we kind of wish it wasn't -- the fringe and shiny jackets are magnificent and would clearly lead any team to victory.

"Among the things that I know now is that this Caribous jacket is beautiful... I want to sleep in it," Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni was quoted on Instagram, while wearing said jacket. We understand, Mastroeni, we understand:

Here are some other tongue-in-cheek shots of the team hamming it up in the throwback Caribou uniforms:
