Those are creative....?

Kinda just wish both would wear their classic unis for this classic game.

The alt unis are fun, but when on the bigger stage wear your traditional ones. That goes for every team.

I like the Navy unis they wore vs Memphis.

The classic look is the classic look.
With a lot of teams not wearing the same thing twice over a season, I like our path of classic home/classic away for eleven games out of the year, and then annual specials for as many as 10-11 million viewers for America's Game and Bowl.

For recruiting and merchandise sales...this hits better than a mid-year game on CBSSN.

I like being able to tell at a glance what Army-Navy highlight I'm looking at, too

I like what Under Armour does with us for this one special per year. (Nike did well before, too, but the attention to detail from our near-neighbors is another level.)
- 175th anniversary commemoration. USNA had big plans for 175th all year, largely derailed by COVID
- The marble evokes the rotunda of Bancroft Hall and John Paul Jones' crypt under the Chapel and the rest of the chapel.
- The gold details work for me.
- "I have not yet begun to fight" for JPJ, where we've previously emphasized "Don't Give up the Ship"

I've always been very impressed by the strong emphasis on history and tradition by my brothers and sisters in the Navy, truly, no one does it better. Those are great and the website and merch are first class.

Happy 175th sir.

Beat Army!

I maintain that I can love America and still say it reminds me of the fake marble. Of course, uniforms made of real marble would present new problems of their own.

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.
