To my surprise, the Drexel men's lacrosse team added a third color to its uniforms, donning neon green laces. This would look ridiculous, but neon green (not to be confused with neon yellow) is a pretty sweet color.

But looks aren't everything.

Drexel wears the bright laces to support "Laces for Lymphoma," a part of the Headstrong Foundation, which is raises money and awareness for blood cancers. It was started in honor of Nick Colleluori, a former Hofstra lacrosse player who was diagnosed with Lymphoma.

"We wear them in his honor, and we have a senior next year, Matt Miller who's got cancer," Drexel coach Chris Bates said. "It's a brother-hood support, and just to raise awareness for cancer"
