Virginia Tech honoring Newtown shooting victims with 'Prevail' decal on helmets

The Virginia Tech football team will be wearing decals on their helmets that read "Prevail," as a tribute to the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

The gesture comes from a school that understands the senseless loss of life firsthand.  In 2007, a gunman killed 32 students on Tech's Blacksburg campus.

The decal will also feature the number 58 — the combined murder count from both shootings.



The VT football will wear the stickers Friday on their plum-colored helmets in the Russell Athletic Bowl against Rutgers in Orlando.  The ribbon's design — half green and half orange with the initials "VT" and "SH" — is a mix of Virginia Tech's and Sandy Hook's school colors.
