Tulane's Viral Mardi Gras Uniforms are Subtle Troll of Opponent
It seems everyone loves Tulane's new Mardi Gras uniforms, but there's an insult hidden in those green threads.
The Tulane Green Wave have unveiled a new set of uniforms for their Week 2 game against the South Alabama Jaguars. These City Edition uniforms celebrate New Orleans' Mardi Gras traditions, featuring beads, king cakes, and the colors green, purple, and gold. Tulane and South Alabama share a long-standing rivalry, rooted in their shared founder Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, who introduced Mardi Gras traditions to the future United States.
The timing of wearing these uniforms against South Alabama cannot be ignored, as it appears to be a subtle jab at Mobile, South Alabama's home city. Tulane's uniforms pay homage to the city's greatest tradition, Mardi Gras, claiming that no other city can host this celebration as perfectly as New Orleans.
