The multicolored hats in the NFL are part of the Crucial Catch campaign, which is an initiative to raise funds for cancer research and awareness. The hats are one of the many items of multi-colored equipment for players, including helmet decals, captains patches, wristbands, sideline hats, and quarterback towels, that are used during the Crucial Catch games. The multi-colored logo on the hats and other equipment represents all cancer types. The NFL has also introduced tie-dye and rainbow colors to the game to promote the Crucial Catch Program initiated by the American Cancer Society (ACS) . The tie-dye designs were introduced to promote the detection and early treatment of cancer, with the proceeds going to ACS to help fight cancer and fund research further. The rainbow colors represent complete support and solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. Fans can show their support for the cause by bidding on game-worn items or purchasing Crucial Catch hats, hoodies, shirts, and other apparel from the official online store of the National Football League or other retailers.
