College football teams unite to honor Hill Country flood victims with helmet decals

TEXAS – Several college football teams are paying tribute to the victims of the Hill Country floods as the season gets underway.

Many teams will start the season with a helmet decal of the state wrapped in a green bow.

The UTSA Roadrunners, Texas State Bobcats, Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies are among the teams participating in the tribute.

Since the Guadalupe River flooded on July 4, the green bow has been a symbol to honor those who died or remain unaccounted after the Hill Country floods.

Green is the color of Camp Mystic, where 27 campers and counselors died in the floods.

According to Kerr County officials, a total of 117 people died in the county as a result of the floods. Two people remain missing.
