Miami (OH) Unveils Colorful Helmets for Cancer Awareness

It's always cool when college football teams release alternate uniforms. It's even better when they do it for a greater cause.

For several years, the NFL has recognized Breast Cancer Awareness Month and allowed players to incorporate pink into their attire. This season, the league has expanded its movement by launching its "Crucial Catch" campaign, allowing players to wear different colors to symbolize any form of cancer they choose.

At the college level, Miami (OH) is championing the effort in a neat way.

The RedHawks unveiled nine different helmets donning different-colored ribbons and will allow players to choose which helmet to wear according to which cancer form has most affected their life.
