Mangold went public with his kidney-disease diagnosis on Oct. 14 as he asked for help in securing a donation. Condolences and emotional tributes poured out for the 41-year-old in the wake of the Jets icon’s sudden death.

The Jets are honoring Mangold in a myriad of ways Sunday, including with a decal of the logo on the warmup t-shirts on their helmets.
