South Carolina to wear special football uniforms

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina will wear specially designed uniforms in support of the armed forces during its Southeastern Conference game against Auburn.

The school and Under Armour said this week that South Carolina, Texas Tech and South Florida would wear the uniforms as part of the company’s partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project.

The uniforms honor the 10-year anniversary of Sept. 11 and feature a stars and stripes design. Names will be replaced with one of the following words: Duty, Honor, Courage, Commitment, Integrity, Country, or Service.

Texas Tech will wear its uniform against Oklahoma State on Nov. 12 and South Florida against Miami on Nov. 19.

The jerseys will be auctioned on each school’s website the Monday following each game with proceeds going to Under Armour’s “Believe in Heroes” campaign.
