Saints Fans Wear Referee Jerseys To Season Opener In Joke That Makes Very Little Sense

Hmm. Here is what I know to be true:

Following a blown pass interference call late in last year’s NFC Championship game, Saints fans are not pleased with NFL officiating.
Wearing someone’s jersey can reasonably be understood as support for that person.

And yet:

This was presumably supposed to be a sick, clever own. Wear ref jerseys! That’ll show ‘em! But what exactly is the implication here? That referees...exist? Is it a subtle dash of self-deprecation, to say refereeing clearly requires no expertise, ergo you or I or anybody in New Orleans could do it? Am I missing something? Underthinking? Overthinking? Explain, somebody!
