I mean.. isn't this game about tradition? I guess I could get used to them, but stick to your guns Army (no pun intended).

I bet those looked SO good on paper and in the design room.
I know I shouldn't be one to comment on outrageous unis, but those aren't the best :D

I dunno I think they look kinda cool. The helmet is the best part. Not like Army has much else going for them this game.

The helmet looks sweet. The pants though don't look like camo from far away. They shoulda went all black with those helmets.

I kind of like them for just one game. Navy went with a variation as well with the anchors on the sleeve and the blue shoulders.

Both teams do have a History of wearing special unis' for the game. And I agree Army's are awful.

I like Navy's unis
Army should have went all-camo..... then maybe navy couldn't see them

New Nike line called the enforcer series, which will be available for high schools. Lightweight, breathable, has a shrinkwrap fit.
For a one game look, I think it looks great. Not sure about the entire season.
New unis for army-navy game (http://www.goarmysports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=11100&ATCLID=3629281)

I liked both, Navy more than Army though...What else can you do to fire up a horrible squad when facing your rival when you know you will get pounded...NEW UNIS!!!

I liked the Army uni's.
My only complaint was that sometimes the camo numbers were a bit harder to read (but I do have piss-poor eyesight)

Army's unis were ACU digitals to match the combat unis worn by troopies every day. I think they looked pretty good.
BTW-has anyone ever seen the camo unis (http://mlb.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pMLB2-3695873dt.jpg) that the Padres wear on Armed Forces appreciation day?
Those look pretty good as well (but Army has a lot more and better reason to wear a combat themed uni than anyone else).

I liked both sets of uni's. Pretty cool to do that. Too bad it didn't help Army though. haha

I liked the unifroms, but why did they use a desert type camo on a grass field? xconfusedx

Because if they used grass type camo, the QB would have a hard time spotting the receivers.:p

ACUs are supposed to blend in with Desert, Urban or Woodlands environments. There are no more Desert (brown), Woodlands (green-mostly) or Urban (black and white) camo patterns any more.

Quick fact. Those jersey's were made in Waterloo, Iowa by the same company that makes the UNI, Iowa, Iowa State, NO Hornets, Sacramento Kings, a couple other pro teams jerseys. As well as most of the HS teams in Iowa
