SMU Football x Children's Health Patient Spring Game Helmet
The SMU Football team is set to make history during their upcoming Spring Game on April 14th by debuting custom artwork on their helmets. For the first time ever, the Mustangs will be showcasing unique designs created by Children's Health patients.
During the month of February, 13 patients ranging from ages 6-17 submitted their one-of-a-kind helmet designs to the team. Each design was inspired by the patients' experiences and journeys, and the winning design was selected to be featured on the team's helmets.
Seventeen-year-old Amulya's design was chosen as the winner, and it's easy to see why. Her design features a vibrant blue and red color scheme with the addition of the SMU wordmark behind the Mustang.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Children's Health and share our new helmet design with fans at the April 14 Spring Game. Amulya is not only talented, but her journey also shows strength and dedication. We are honored to wear her design," said head coach Rhett Lashlee.
The collaboration between SMU Football and Children's Health is a testament to the power of community and support. It's an opportunity for the team to not only showcase their talent on the field but to also bring attention to the incredible work being done by Children's Health and the impact it has on the lives of so many.
"I am so grateful to SMU for providing me with the opportunity to share my artwork on the field," said Amulya, who was rushed to emergency room at Children's Health in December 2022 after she lost feeling in the left side of her face. "It was a source of motivation for me to recover my fine motor skills during my time at Children's Health, and I'm thrilled to see my design on the SMU football team's helmets."
The Spring Game is sure to be an exciting event for fans and players alike, and the addition of these unique helmet designs only adds to the excitement. It's a moment that will go down in history for the Mustangs, and a reminder of the importance of giving back to the community and supporting those in need.
