Players from both the UNLV and San Diego State football teams will wear red ribbon helmet decals — with the words “Las Vegas” emboldened inside — for their game this Saturday as a way to honor the victims of Sunday’s mass shooting that left 59 dead and more than 500 injured, the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history.

A pregame commemorative ceremony honoring the victims and first responders, tabbed “Heroes Night,” is also planned. Replica decals will be handed out to fans in attendance as well.

UNLV director of athletics Desiree Reed-Francois, who lost a member of her sister-in-law's family in the shooting, said in a statement: “Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the victims and the families impacted by this senseless act of violence. While football is just a game, it can also serve as a rallying point of unity and allow all of us to recognize the incredible heroism displayed by so many this week. We are all extremely proud of our community's response over the last couple of days.”

The Rebels plan to sport the red ribbon decals all season, as will the rest of UNLV’s sports programs. The University of Nevada also announced plans to wear tribute decals for the rest of the ’17 season.

UNLV assistant hockey coach Nick Robone was one of the 500 wounded in the shooting at the country concert outside of Mandalay Bay hotel and was recovering in the local hospital. He’s expected to make a full recovery.
