The 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks is Sunday. So are 14 NFL games. And the NFL is taking notice.
Players have spoken out about plans to commemorate the anniversary with red, white and blue socks, shoes and gloves. And until Friday were expecting to be fined.
Not anymore.
The NFL has relaxed its uniform policy for Sunday’s games to allow players to honor those who served or were lost in the attacks.
The Associated Press reported that: “League spokesman Michael Signora tweeted that the league told its 32 teams on Friday that players may wear special shoes and gloves from official NFL equipment licensees for Week 1 games.”
A few players spoke out about clothing. Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs plans on wearing red, white and blue cleats. Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles also plans to wear different cleats and gloves.
