Middle Tennessee State’s football squad is kicking off their season with a seriously heartfelt tribute. They are honoring the late country music icon Dolly Parton with a special jersey patch for their upcoming season opener.
A Legend’s Signature on the Field
This isn’t just some generic nod, either. The Blue Raiders’ jerseys will feature Parton’s actual signature, alongside her birth and death years. It’s a powerful way to remember a legend who passed away this week in Nashville, at the age of 80. Talk about making a statement right out of the gate.
The Big Debut Next Saturday
They are set to debut these special threads next Saturday for their home opener against Murray State. You know everyone will be watching to see that patch when they hit the field. What a way to play with some extra heart and honor such an incredible legacy.
