The uniform-obsessed NFL is permitting a significant deviation for Week Four of the 2009 season.I may give Chad a hard time, but even I think this is damn cool.
As recently reported by Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, players will be allowed to wear pink cleats and/or pink gloves to promote breast cancer awareness.
In Week Four, and presumably only in Week Four.
And, of course, Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco sees this as an opportunity to push the individuality envelope. He has indicated, Twitter style, that he plans to wear pink shoes and gloves for the entire month of October, and to supplement them with a pink chin strap and a pink mouthpiece.
He also says that he'll match any fines imposed with a donation, most likely to breast cancer research groups.

Chad Ocho Pinko
Give some football players an inch, they'll take a yard. Give Chad Ochocinco an inch, he'll take an entire month...for charity.
have seen a couple of high school teams here in michigan go with pink helmets and/or pink jersies - either just the top or the pants or both. saw this pop up two years ago.
