Overview
- The Naval Academy revealed a special-edition kit featuring a copper-colored, custom-painted helmet that nods to the copper sheathing of early U.S. frigates.
- The helmet encircles a rope graphic with 63 knots on the front and 63 on the rear, marking the 126th meeting and Navy’s 63 wins in the series.
- The jersey carries six ropes, an engraved eagle, and six stars drawn from USS Constitution details, with numbers styled after the ship’s depth markers.
- Design cues include a washed navy base and typography inspired by the 1794 Act to Provide Naval Armament, plus 250 sleeve-and-collar knots honoring the anniversary.
- West Point unveiled its own 250-years uniform last week in a Nike collaboration, with the rivalry game set for Dec. 13 in Baltimore.
