It's not quite Donald Trump with a man bun, but Tim Tebow with a ponytail is tough to un-see all the same.

Unlike the Photoshop mischief that gave Trump a fresh 'do, however, Tebow's new look is the real deal. Well, at least the photo is real.

ESPN's College GameDay account tweeted a nice photo of the Tebowing namesake and his former University of Florida coach Urban Meyer at Monday night's college football championship game.

There was just one quirk: An optical illusion created by someone standing behind Tebow gives him a flowing ponytail to go with his fashionable mohawk. It's more like a ponytail-mullet hybrid, really -- a dual-threat, if you will.

Let's get a closer look at this modern marvel.
