The 122nd edition of the Army-Navy Football game is coming up on December 11, and the Midshipmen already have a leg up heading into East Rutherford, New Jersey. As a former Naval Aviator, I am incredibly biased, but Navy just released the most absolutely awesome uniforms in the history of this matchup.
[takes deep breath to compose myself]
Navy went with a Naval Aviation — namely the carrier-based F/A-18 Super Hornet — themed uniform, and they rule. The mostly navy kits feature the current active roundel (essentially a circular logo), which is made up of a white star with white and red stripes, on each shoulder and on one side of the helmet. The pants have a red stripe between two white stripes.
The back of the helmet has the gold wings earned by Naval Aviators (pilots), Naval Flight Officers (navigators), and Aircrew. On the left side of the helmet, you can find the F/A-18 Super Hornet, the latest in the F-14 Tomcat line of aircraft made popular by that little old 1986 classic Top Gun.
