South Carolina will wear a helmet sticker all season to honor the nine victims of the June shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC.
The sticker shows nine doves forming the leaves of a palmetto tree. In a statement, athletic director Ray Tanner said Steve Spurrier and school president Harris Pastides were fully behind honoring the “Emanuel 9″.
“Whether it’s Greenville, Columbia, Charleston or any other cities in South Carolina, we feel a tremendous sense of pride in this state,” Athletics Director Ray Tanner said.
