The player holding the ball for the kicker is in charge of making sure it’s positioned correctly. Part of this is the laces on the football. Laces out just means the laces were facing away from the kicker, so they wouldn’t make contact with them with their foot.
If the laces were in, the kicker’s foot would hit them and possibly send the ball off course.
