Louisville Football Honors Muhammad Ali with Butterfly Sticker on Chrome Helmets

The No. 10 Louisville Cardinals will honor the late Muhammad Ali during their game against No. 2 Florida State on Saturday.

Louisville’s chrome helmets will feature a butterfly decal with “Ali” in the middle—a clear reference to the legendary boxer’s famous "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" line.

As David Wharton of the Los Angeles Times noted, Ali was a native of Kentucky and supporter of the Cardinals.

According to a press release from the school, Ali’s wife Lonnie and son Asaad will be in attendance and participate in on-field tributes. Fans in the student section will wear shirts that read, “The Champ.”

In addition, a 30-foot painting of the helmet decal “will sit in the northwest corner of the end zone.”
