Vandy uniform reveal mocked with hilarious photo edits
Off the heels of a major social media blunder, Vanderbilt football revealed some pretty slick new uniforms over the weekend. But, Vandy still couldn’t escape the internet mob.
In the following uniform graphic used to showcase the new “Deep Water” uniform set, the player’s pose is… interesting.
Many internet users asked, is he posing for football or a musical? The fun didn’t end there… College football fans on twitter and reddit created their own images using this photo:

The commentary on the topic was just as hilarious. On the CFB subreddit, users had fun with the previous “We don’t need permission” gaffe:
It’s worth noting that most fans were really impressed with the actual uniforms. Specifically, the helmets seem to have received the most praise. So, mission accomplished… kind of.
Be sure to check out the new Vanderbilt uniforms.
