Army football uniforms pay tribute to World War II airborne division

In true Army fashion, the football team’s newly unveiled uniforms for the Navy game will honor the World War II paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division. For Saturday’s ultimate rivalry game, Army’s Nike uniforms were inspired by the actual paratrooper jumpsuits, which include a division patch, a 48-star American flag on the shoulder, player name tapes and full-color historical unit patches. Inspired by World War II 82nd paratroopers, we honor the past by re-telling stories of valor, courage & sacrifice.
