South Carolina Honor ‘Emanuel 9’ Victims With Helmet Sticker in 2015

South Carolina plans to honor the nine victims from June 17 shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church with a helmet sticker this season.

“The tragedy that happened in Charleston doesn’t just affect people in Charleston; it affects the entire state,” athletic director Ray Tanner said in a release from the school. We feel very much a part of that at the university. Coach Steve Spurrier and University President Harris Pastides felt very strongly that the ‘Emanuel 9’ should be recognized.”

The sticker features the Palmetto tree, with nine doves representing each of the victims.

Here’s a closer look at the sticker on the helmets:
