8 up-close photos of this year’s awesome Army-Navy game alternate uniforms

The 2023 Army-Navy game is here. And with it – in addition to all the pregame pageantry, in-game mastery of the triple-option, and the reliable Service Academy under bet – comes awesome uniforms.

Each academy has done an excellent job at putting a unique spin on these uniforms over the years, making them singular and special. Often, they honor a specific group within the Army for the Black Knights, or within the Navy or Marines for the Midshipmen. That group could be a career path, or even a historic unit. Last year, Navy paid homage to its history with NASA, while Army honored some of its World War II veterans.

This year, Navy is giving a nod to the “Silent Service” with its simple and sleek submarine-themed uniforms, while Army is honoring the “Dogface Soldiers” of the 3rd Infantry Division, who played a crucial role during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Both teams enter this game at 5-6. Army can win the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy outright with a win, while Navy – having lost to Air Force earlier this year – would force a three-way split with a victory. A win for the Mids would, however, give first-year head coach Brian Newberry his first victory in the series.

Ahead of this year’s game in Foxborough, here’s a closer look at those super cool uniforms.
