The pain from the tragedy in Charlottesville continues to heal weeks after a demonstration of white supremacists turned violent and deadly. The Virginia football team, along with other sports programs at the university, will reportedly pay respect to the civil unrest in the home town of the University of Virginia this season by wearing a special patch on their uniforms.
All #UVA athletic teams will wear #HoosTogether patches on their uniforms this year in response to unrest in Charlottesville this month.

An image of those patches has not surfaced as of yet, although we should catch a glimpse soon enough. Virginia is set to open the 2017 season at home this weekend in Charlottesville against William & Mary. Virginia’s first three games will be played at home this season. Virgina and William & Mary are scheduled for a 3:30 p.m. kick this Saturday.
