Athletes going pink for breast cancer

Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you’ve noticed many athletes are sporting some pink for breast cancer month. Sometimes the colors clash a little bit, but for the most part I think the floral accents look pretty nice.

Although it’s mostly football players mixing and matching colored accessories, Rick DiPietro has some AWESOME pinkĀ goalie equipment.

The NHL tweeted about his pads earlier today, and added he will wear them in games–as soon as he breaks them in. It’s not just leg pads though, DiPietro ordered a whole set.

Those look awesome. I would wear those. I always wanted to be a goalie when I was little, I just wasn’t good enough. Any chance I get though I strap on the pads.

Here’s some other cool shots of players in the NFL going pink:
