Army vs. Navy Uniforms: Previewing New Look to Classic Rivalry Game

Check out the full montage of the Pro Combat Unis for Army Here and Navy Here.

Nike’s Pro Combat series of uniforms have been popping up everywhere this season during huge college football games.

Pretty soon, they will find they are being worn by two of the most prestigious football programs in American college football history in one of the oldest rivalry games in the country.

Pro Combat opened the season with the Boise State Broncos debuting their new digs against the Georgia Bulldogs (also donning their new Nikes), on a national stage. Oregon pulled theirs out against LSU on opening day as well.

Upcoming Pro Combat debuts will have Michigan State wearing them against Michigan, as well as LSU rocking them against Auburn.

But the matchup I am most looking forward to seeing them worn in is the Army vs. Navy game on December 10th.

NavySports.com is calling it a perfect marriage for their team.

“Tradition, sacrifice, honor and courage paired together with innovation and technological advancement make up the lifeblood of the United States Naval Academy. Similar concepts unite when Navy straps up the Nike Pro Combat system of dress on December 10th in their attempt to beat Army for the 10th-consecutive season”

The Navy uniforms feature their classic slogan “Don’t Tread on Me” prominently in many areas of the outfit. The anchor symbol is also a feature displayed in many places, none more prominent than on the sides of the helmet and with the interlocking gloves.

These uniforms are elegant and unique, with a blend of modern flash and timeless tradition. 

On the other side of the inter-service battle, the Navy Midshipmen will be staring down their Army Black Knight enemies.

Nike did not change too much on these classic uniforms and really stuck to tradition when they designed the Black Knight uniforms.

The most notable change is in the cleats and socks, which are desert-sand colored, just like the boots the troops serving right now are wearing.

The gloves on these lock together to form the classic Army "A" and the numbers are stenciled in the way much U.S. Army gear is labeled.

I cannot wait for December 10th to see these two teams battle it out in their awesome new uniforms and bring a new twist to one of the classic rivalries in the sport.
