Each and every game without fail, NYCFC has their Tunnel of Honor, where members of the NYPD & FDNY stand opposite each other as the teams pass between them, heading out to the field. It is always a very inspiring sight.
This year as in years past they will honor those with the departments, in the following fashions:
- The jerseys #'s will go to a flag pattern, and players will have unique 9/11 armbands in remembrance.
-NYCFC players will enter the field in specifically designed 9/11 warm up tops, paying tribute to city agencies.
