When I first saw these BYU helmets circulating Twitter yesterday, I made the honest mistake of just thinking the red, white, and blue represented some sort of military appreciation helmet.
However, upon closer look there's a small detail that makes this helmet even more special.
With the Cougars facing off against Houston tonight, September 11th, at 9pm EST on ESPN they also decided to incorporate the twin towers onto the helmet as well. They revealed the helmet to the team yesterday at a 7am team meeting.
Classy move BYU. I tip my cap to you.
The stadium also has a nice 9/11 touch of "We Will Never Forget".
