The additions were supposed to be a one-time deal, but Boston College has decided to keep the inspirational adornment s around for the rest of the season.

@BCCoachAddazio told @MarkPacker on @SiriusXMCollege that #BC will incorporate the red bandanna the rest of the yr to honor Welles Crowther.

Crowther was killed during the attacks of Sept. 11, but saved at least a dozen people before the south World Trade Center tower collapsed. Crowther was known for carrying a red banana that his father gave him as a child. He was wearing it while saving people during the attacks.

The Crowther family attended last Saturday’s game and was given the game ball from the team’s first home win against a top 10 opponent since 1989.

It’s hard to fault Boston College for wanting to keep the adornments around for the rest of the year. Not only do they honor a great man, but one could argue they’re now a good luck charm. And, well, they look good, too.
