ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Michigan football players will wear patches on their uniforms for the Big Ten championship game to honor victims of the Oxford High School shooting.
“Our uniforms will feature a special logo during Saturday’s Big Ten Championship Game,” the team tweeted on its official Twitter account. “The shape is of Oxford’s ‘Block O,’ meant to honor all victims, survivors and community members.
“The ‘TM’ and ‘42′ pay tribute to football player Tate Myre. Tate, Hana St. Juliana, Madisyn Baldwin and Justin Shilling, whose lives were senselessly lost earlier this week, are represented by four blue hearts.
“We are proud to represent the state of Michigan and all of its communities. #OxfordStrong is #MichiganStrong.”
Yep. I love this but should have waited til next season.
Nice as is Iowa’ s wave to the kids in hospital.
thanks
Did any sports team do anything special in memory of the Waukesha victims? I’m not saying they didn’t, just wondering.
No.
This is close to home and getting weirder by the minute.
Dog the Bounty Hunter needs to get on this fleeing parents thing.
I think it is okay to do especially since items fresh in minds. This is a big game Saturday, even better to honor Tate.
I don’t like it. The activist causes should not be on the field.
What activist causes?
The Detroit Lions will also be doing the same thing in their game against the Vikings Sunday.
You certainly sport one of the more unusual FReeper names I’ve seen. I think you’ll have an interesting life here. Welcome, WeaslesRippedMyFlesh.
I’ll give Michigan a pass on this one because they whupped Ohio last weekend.
