The -u option for date(1) only allows you to set/display the time
relative UTC instead of relative the local time zone.  It does not
change what time zone FreeBSD considers itself in.

Reading the tzsetup(8) and adjkerntz(8) manpages should provide useful
information on how to set the time zone correctly.
