Army is breaking out something special for this year’s Army-Navy Game — a uniform that celebrates the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.
The Black Knights’ look, revealed Wednesday, features a marble-gray base with streaks of purple throughout — a nod to the Badge of Military Merit, the forerunner to the Purple Heart, and a tribute to Gold Star families. Subtle details honor the Army’s long history, including “1775” markings and typography inspired by the U.S. Constitution.
Instead of focusing on a single division like in past years, this year’s theme highlights the Army’s full 250-year legacy. The helmet carries references to the Warrior Ethos and classic insignia — tying the modern design back to its roots.
Army has made the uniform reveal a tradition heading into the rivalry game, and this one might be its most symbolic yet. The Black Knights have gone 6-3 in the series since launching these special-edition looks. The numbers and lettering are styled after the U.S. Constitution, while streaks of purple run throughout.
Navy hasn’t dropped its 2025 design yet — but with this reveal from West Point, the bar’s been set high for the December showdown.
Army is 5-4 this season. Navy is 7-2. This year’s Army-Navy Game will take place Dec. 13 in Baltimore.
