The 'Murica was a joke.

As PuddlePirate's links highlight, JPJ himself left the nascent nation and led Catherine the Great's Navy in the Crimean War - he was a bit of a prickly bastard who didn't feel he got enuff respeck.

I don't think I've ever played the 'Murica card in seriousness on this board.

Following up your second point though -- yeah, especially the helmets.

Yeah I assumed you were messing around.

Love the helmets and unis. Love the vid. Of course, I'm prejudiced.

Same, I think they’re killer.

An additional note, specific to the uniforms.

Navy will almost certainly end the season with a total of 3 million+/viewer games, which will put them near the head of the pack in terms of high viewership games.

Numbers this week will be very interesting.

I will be shocked if Army Navy approaches the 7-8 million viewers we get as the ONLY game between CCGs and bowl season.
Before the move away from CCG day, A-N was getting 2-3 million viewers.
Competition IN TIMESLOT this year includes Miami-UNC and an Iowa Big10 game and a Pac12 game and ranked Okie State and even our conference mates. That's a different dynamic from even A-N vs CCGs but only a couple of games on the day.

Interesting times...
