When Army and Navy play each other in their annual, traditional football game, another tradition has sprouted up: awesome new uniforms.
In 2019, Army won our poll to see who had the best alternate unis, which were meant to be 1960s throwbacks. The 2018 editions were inspired efforts and both 2017 uniforms were amazing.
The Army’s uniforms for this year’s game are meant to pay tribute to the 25th infantry division that fought during the Korean War, with the nickname “Tropic Lightning.”
The Navy is going with threads celebrating the Naval Academy’s 175th anniversary, with patterns inspired by the chapel and Bancroft Hall on its campus.
Here’s the Army’s look:
America's Pacific Division.
