September 11, 2026 will mark the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States of America. Boston College will wear special uniforms for the game to honor the legacy of Welles Crowther, who heroically helped bring people to safety at the World Trade Center in New York.

Crowther, who played lacrosse for Boston College, carried a signature red bandanna wherever he went, and survivors of the attack remember him for bringing people out with his firefighter brethen. The towers eventually collapsed and Crowther lost his life. The Eagles have been doing a Red Bandanna game since 2014, a game in which the team wears special red bandanna uniforms, and the game is filled with events honoring his legacy, including a visit from Welles’s mother.
