The University of Maryland football team, never shy in expressing its individuality when it comes to uniforms, will wear a jersey Saturday against West Virginia inspired by the 200th anniversary of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
The helmets feature an outline of Fort McHenry and the U.S. flag that inspired our national anthem. #GoTerps #TeamUA pic.twitter.com/anfzj1FlCk — Maryland Athletics (@umterps) September 9, 2014
