Marshall will honor the 1970 team that lost their lives on Southern Airways Flight 932 by wearing the helmets from that season.
The helmet will also feature a large "75" decal at the back to recognize all 75 passengers on board Nov. 14, 1970.
The event was documented in the movie "We Are Marshall."
