The uniforms from both of the academies this year are great. It has become one of my favorite things about the game.

The Midshipmen will wear throwback Under Armour uniforms that celebrate the team’s early 1960s history, specifically honoring Heisman Trophy winners Joe Bellino and Roger Staubach. The jerseys are blue with two gold stripes on the shoulders, resembling the team’s uniforms of the ’60s, and the helmet is a dark gold with an anchor on it.

More via Under Armour:

A burnished coat of bronze paint wraps each helmet and lays beneath Navy’s iconic anchor logo that serves as a call to the Naval Academy’s roots at sea, while the two Heisman winner’s uniform numbers are front and center.

This year, Army is honoring the 1st Cavalry Division and the development of air mobility with the first large-scale use of helicopters during the Vietnam War. The game uniforms feature mostly white jerseys with “First Team” and “Army” written on each shoulder and dark green pants with a faded “United States” written down the side.

The color of the helmets matches the pants and has two yellow crossed sabers on them. More about the helmets via Army and Nike’s firstteam.football site:

In 1851, the Army approved the pair of crossed sabers as the new insignia representing U.S. Army Dragoons. They would be worn on the new style caps and become an iconic symbol of the 1st Cavalry Division

My dad served in the USN and didn’t go to Annapolis and even went to a big football school for grad school (who still comes first) yet he watches every Navy football game. Go Navy.
