Penn State is adding the names of players as well as a symbol of child abuse awareness to the football team's jerseys for the upcoming season. Penn State opens September 1st at home against Ohio. The team's generic look has long been its trademark, but officials say they're adding the names to recognize the players' resolve and dedication. The uniforms will also sport a blue ribbon to support all victims of child abuse.
