Since the 2021 season kicks off on September 11, the 20th anniversary of the attacks on America, Sachem North will honor the moment with a special helmet sticker tribute.
Sachem took its traditional and historic arrowhead and turned it into a patriotic design featuring the Twin Towers and New York City skyline silhouette and the American flag.
The No. 6 is a tribute to Seal Team 6 that ran Operation Neptune Spear, which took out Bin Laden and brought a moment of justice to the attacks.
“We thank our troops, past and present, for everything they do to protect our freedom,” the program wrote on its social media pages. “On 9/11 we play for them and we play for the memories of those lost on September 11, 2001.”
Besides the helmet features, the team will wear a white-on-white uniform combo that they call their “dress whites,” another ode to the United States Military.
Sachem kicks off the season on September 11 at Brentwood starting at 1:30 p.m.
