PHOTO: UCLA to wear Veterans Day helmets vs. Oregon State
UCLA announced a "weeklong tribute" to Veterans Day and will begin the tribute vs. Oregon State in Corvallis on Saturday.
According to the tweet, UCLA will wear these "stars and stripes" U.S. flag-inspired helmets. The team will also reportedly rock a camouflage base layer under the white road jerseys. The helmets will be auctioned to raise money for addressing the issues of veteran homelessness in L.A., according to the report.

In UCLA's home finale, the Bruins will wear "Military Appreciation Day" uniforms with a special helmet (honoring the U.S. Navy Seals) and a "Dark Ops" base layer. Veterans will get free tickets to the Rose Bowl, and the LA Zoo will bring bald eagles to the game.
