Army to wear World War II-inspired uniforms vs. Navy

Written by Teunis Felter

The annual Army-Navy football rivalry game is always a must-watch spectacle to close out the regular season. Ahead of this Saturday’s latest matchup between the two, Army just provided yet another reason to tune in. The Black Knights Twitter account released a video revealing new Nike-made jerseys paying tribute to the 82nd Airborne Division that fought in World War II. The black and dark gray attire includes a 48-star American flag shoulder patch, player name tapes, full-color historical unit patches and an improvised camo base layer, dedicated to explaining the history behind the threads. The helmets also mirror the netted tactical helmets worn by the division during the WWII era.
