In a lighthearted display this week, Gritty, the beloved mascot of the Philadelphia Flyers, orchestrated a whimsical photoshoot featuring forward Scott Laughton at a local JCPenney, as detailed by Anna Kulesa of NHL.com. The antics were captured in a new video shared across social media platforms.
In the video, Gritty and Laughton sported matching outfits consisting of white T-shirts and denim shorts, posing in various awkward and humorous positions against a green backdrop. Their poses included standing back-to-back, forming a heart with their arms, and leaning their heads together, all executed with deadpan seriousness by Laughton.
Despite the comedic nature of the photoshoot, Laughton managed to maintain a straight face throughout, adding to the humor of the snaps. The resulting photos are expected to become a source of amusement and perhaps even adorn the Flyers’ locker room next season.
This playful collaboration between Gritty and Laughton underscores the lighter side of sports and the Flyers’ commitment to fostering team camaraderie through fun and unconventional activities.
