The University of Michigan’s sports teams will honor the victims of Monday’s shooting at Michigan State with special decals, shirts and moments of silence before home events.
Helmets worn by Michigan athletes will carry a white decal featuring a green heart with the white Spartan logo, representing MSU's colors. For sports that don’t have helmets, athletes will wear special shirts with logos similar to the decals during warmups, to honor the victims, Kurt Svoboda, Michigan associate athletic director for external communications and public relations, said Wednesday. Some teams may have more unique branding to honor MSU, Svoboda said.
