WATCH: Mizzou unveils uniforms in 'Squid Game' style
The Missouri Tigers had fun with their Week 10 uniform reveal, imitating the red light, green light game from popular Netflix show Squid Game. Mizzou is 4-4 on the season and chasing bowl eligibility with a tough game coming up against No. 1 Georgia on Saturday.
In the Mizzou uniform reveal video, five players start the red light, green light game in five different uniform combinations. Like in the Squid Game show (spoiler alert), the players are taken out one by one as they fail to stop their momentum with the prompts in the song. Of course, unlike in Squid Game, the players aren’t shot. They are, however, tackled by the Missouri mascot.
The winning uniform combination, worn by Tulsa transfer defensive back Akayleb Evans, is yellow pants, a white top with yellow and black stripes on the sleeves, and a yellow helmet with a black stripe and black M.
The video even ends with a remix of the red light, green light song directly from the South Korean show.
Squid Game, as of mid-October, had more than 111 million views from start to finish. Netflix estimates that its latest megahit will create almost $900 million in value for the company, according to Bloomberg.
Missouri chasing second SEC win
Last weekend, the Vanderbilt Commodores kept up with Mizzou, trailing by three points going into the fourth quarter. However, running back Tyler Badie had other ideas. He rushed for 254 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday’s 37-28 win over Vanderbilt.
Badie is the first player in Tigers history with three 200-yard games in a season. Devin West (1998) and Brock Olivo (1995) each had two 200-yard games in a season.
Missouri is sitting with a 1-3 SEC record heading into Week 10 versus the Georgia Bulldogs. Their three losses came against Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas A&M. After hosting Georgia, Mizzou hits the road for games at South Carolina and Florida before the annual Black Friday game against Arkansas.
