I forgot to bring this up over the weekend but the Army-Navy game featured some interesting uniform choices. I don’t want to spend too much time on Navy though here are a few views of their new look. There were elements of the Marine Corps uniforms (the real ones) incorporated into the traditional Navy look making for a kind of hybrid uniform.
On the Army side, a completely different outfit was trotted out for the annual rivalry. This is what Army used to look like. This is what they wore on Saturday. The corps of Cadets was decked out in what almost looked like actual Army gear.
The game was a complete blowout as Navy destroyed Army 34-0. We’ll see if either team continues to wear these new unis going forward or not. I was happy to see that they kept the different company patches, something each branch has done for a while now. I honestly didn’t mind the new looks (or the fact that Nike was the driving force behind their development and implementation). I wouldn’t really be that interested in seeing it too often in the future, but for a one-time thing, it was pretty cool.

I didn’t really like the Navy uniform. I get what they were going for, but it looked funny on a football jersey.
Army on the other hand, look cool as hell.
