Army unveils WWII-inspired uniforms they plan to wear when they take on the U.S. Naval Academy in the 113th meeting between the two academies on Dec. 8, 2012.
According to a release by West Point, the uniform design pays tribute to 1944, which included the first of Army's three consecutive national championships and the World War II victory at the Battle of the Bulge.
The black and gold uniforms will feature a historical map imprinted on the numbers, the helmet, the gloves, and the interior of the cleats. The helmet also features a small black spade on the side to honor the 101st Airborne Division, which fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
Pretty fierce don't you think? I can't wait to see these in action this weekend!
