I really like those Navy uniforms.....and the Jolly Roger vs the Screaming Eagles. That Army video though.....holy crap I love that stuff.

Go ARMY!!!!

The Army unis were a little plain. I did like the parachutes on the front of the helmet.

The Army unis were a little plain.

I have to disagree. Simple is the Army way when it comes to uniforms, but the dusting of snow on the shoulders of the jerseys as a subtle nod to the conditions faced at Bastogne is 'chef's kiss'-level design.

I’d love to have one of those Navy helmets.

I am a Navy Vet, and have a very good buddy that is an Army Vet. I root for Army and he roots for Navy. Its the craziest thing!!!!

Thank you @AlistarWills for the thread and videos......very cool and much appreciated!

I really wish our military would get MORE recognition than they do.

You have to also appreciate that our service academy players - in particular the linemen - have to go up against teams with players who outweigh them by orders of magnitude - because they are not held by the same standards as our armed forces.

So VERY gratifying to see how well they are doing this season!

Agreed and that F-18 squadron ( The Jolly Rogers) was on my aircraft carrier back in the day.

Those are fine.
America had two airborne divisions that saw extensive i

The US Army in Europe in December 1944 had two airborne divisions: the 82nd Airborne and the 101st Airborne (the 17th Airborne was in Britain getting ready). The 82nd was the elder and thus the "senior" airborne division. The 101st is no longer an airborne unit, but is heliborne, and today is called the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).

It probably chaps the hide of the current 82nd Airborne that the 101st gets so much more attention than the 82nd. As General Ridgway said in A Bridge Too Far: "They're good men, the 82nd, but keep your hand on your wallet."

I thought including that somewhere would be cool, name plates are a great idea!

The Army vs Navy game to me has always embodied the essence of college football and given true meaning to the word student athlete. Down through the years many players of that game have given their last full measure for our country. They play for the love of the game and their academies since only a very few ever get the notoriety and money of the NFL. As a Navy veteran I salute both teams, Go Navy Beat Army Go Army Beat Notre Dame.
