Carrier Classic 2011: Patriotic Uniforms Are Perfect Veterans Day Tribute

Hosting the 2011 Carrier Classic aboard an actual aircraft carrier is a brilliant way to honor the military on Veterans Day, and Michigan State and North Carolia's patriotic uniforms are the icing on the cake to an already spectacular tribute.

The teams are geared up to kickoff the 2011 season, and their Veterans Day uniforms are nothing short of incredible.

What better way to get the season started than on a historic aircraft carrier while sporting threads that pay homage to the brave troops that have protected out freedom?

CNBC's Darren Rovell Tweeted out a picture of North Carolina's jersey, as well as Michigan State's jersey.

The Carrier Classic's all-out approach in their debut event with President Barack Obama in attendance is going to make this game a long-lasting tradition.

It's clear that, while this may be the first game ever played on an aircraft carrier, with the attention the game is receiving and overwhelming success, it's bound to be will make it a Veterans Day staple.

Michigan State and North Carolina should feel honored to take part in the first ever Carrier Classic, and though UConn is taking on an undisclosed opponent in the 2012 Quicken Loans Carrier Classic, the teams in the 2011 edition can take pride in the fact that they got to be part of something so special.

Teams constantly generate new looks and variations of their uniform, but the 2011 Carrier Classic uniforms are unforgettable.
