The Oregon Ducks team may just be the coolest college football team out there, as they will soon be wearing pink helmets.

The players are debuting the pink lids for Saturday’s game against Washington State. The pink helmets are not a fashion statement, they are meant to raise awareness for breast cancer.

Since October is breast cancer awareness month, they have decided to make a strong statement. They are also raising money for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.

Nike and the University of Oregon will be auctioning off the gear after the game. Five helmets will be sold off every day during a five-day event.

The helmets will be signed by Helfrich by former Oregon players Dan Fouts, Joey Harrington, Ahmad Rashad and Phil Knight, Fox Sports writes.
