Long-time NBA sideline reporter Craig Sager passed away earlier this month after a two-year battle with acute myeloid leukemia. Players, coaches, fellow media members, and fans have paid tribute to the legend since his passing on December 15, and now his alma mater, Northwestern, will do the same when they face Pittsburgh in the Pinstripe Bowl Wednesday, December 28.

The Wildcats will wear a plaid helmet sticker with Sager's name in white to honor his trademark suit-game, which by all accounts, was on-point.
