Jason Baum, BC’s Senior Associate AD for Communications, announced today on Twitter that Jeff Hafley intends for the Boston College football team to wear their Red Bandana jerseys for September 11th’s game against UMass.
The Red Bandana jerseys have been a now long-running tradition at Boston College to honor BC grad Welles Crowther, who is known for his heroics on September 11th, 2001 as The Man in the Red Bandana. You can watch the full documentary here.
A note: we haven’t seen Adidas’s version of the Red Bandana jerseys yet! Up until this season, they had exclusively been made by Under Armour, but BC Football’s apparel deal has now flipped over to Adidas.
