Navy Will Wear 'Blue Angels' Uniforms in Rivalry Game vs. Army

Navy's football squad will honor the Blue Angels by wearing all-blue uniforms for their annual showdown with Army.

The Midshipmen unveiled the Under Armour Blue Angels attire in anticipation of Dec. 9's game against the Black Knights. They also released a video showing off their sleek garb. 

Per WTKR.com's Adam Winkler, Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk commented on the uniform's significance. 

"This tribute to the Blue Angels reflects the enthusiastic pride and appreciation we have for the Navy's premier flying team and the motivation they convey to Navy football and the fleet at large," Gladchuk said. 

Last year, Navy designed "Beat Army" attire for the rivalry game. Army, which snapped a 15-year drought with a 21-17 victory, wore uniforms honoring World War II paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division.
