The Penn State football team will have a new look when they take the field at Beaver Stadium for their 126th season on September 1 against Ohio University. The team will wear uniforms featuring a blue ribbon to support all victims of child abuse. And for the first time in school history, the last name of each player will be on the back of the jersey. Putting the players' names on the jerseys will be "in recognition of their resolve and dedication to the team and the University," according to a statement from the school. "The Penn State community stands with all victims of child abuse," said acting athletic director David Joyner in the release. "Coach Bill O'Brien and his football team made it clear they want to support victims and bring more awareness to this issue, which affects so many." Penn State started practice on Monday under first-year head coach O'Brien.
I am not sure of it. For so long, they've not had them. I understand the ribbons. I know they've had to endure a lot there. But names on the jerseys is just messing with 126 years of Penn State Football tradition. You don't do that just because of what happened.
