Let’s recap the history of Army/Navy alternate uniforms

With all other FBS regular season college football wrapped up, the nation turns their attention to East Rutherford, NJ, this Saturday for the annual Army/Navy game. With 121 games between the Black Knights and the Midshipmen, Army/Navy is the 15th-most-played series in college football, and more importantly, has come to embody the spirit of the interservice rivalry of the United States Armed Forces, with all players on both sides becoming commissioned military officers upon graduation.

But within this annual football tradition has emerged another tradition: wild alternate uniforms. Despite being two of the most traditional programs in the country, each year, Army and Navy trot out some of the best one-off uniforms college football has seen specifically for this game.
