10/8/2018 8:05:00 AM | Football
All 112 Miami University football players will be carrying a special message with them as they take the field for the Oct. 13 Cancer Awareness Game versus Kent State. Each player's helmet will feature a colored ribbon of their choice to symbolize how they have been affected by cancer.
Â
These helmets and Miami's entire football uniform, will be featured on the "Gear Up" segment on ESPN's SportsCenter between 7-9 a.m. on Saturday morning.
Five helmets will be available for fans to purchase via auction. Stay tuned for more details.
Â
Overall, eight players selected red to signify all blood cancers. Twelve will wear orange to raise awareness for kidney cancer and leukemia and 32 pink ribbons will be visible on the Yager Stadium field turf to honor those affected by breast cancer. Fourteen players will wear blue (colon cancer and esophageal cancer), 14 will wear purple (leiomyosarcoma, pancreatic cancer, testicular cancer), 11 have selected yellow (bladder cancer, sarcoma/bone cancer), nine picked white, eight chose green (liver cancer, ovarian cancer and cervical cancer) and four picked black (melanoma).
