The Army-Navy Game remains one of the most revered traditions in college football—a contest steeped in honor, history, and pride. Each year, the rivalry is marked by distinctive uniforms that honor the legacy of both academies. On November 12, the Army unveiled its 2025 design with a cinematic reveal, paying tribute to the 250th anniversary of the United States Army. This year’s look reflects deep historical significance, connecting today’s Black Knights to the enduring values and traditions that have defined the Army since 1775.
The uniform features a marble base color on the jersey and pants, a nod to the marble headstones at Arlington National Cemetery. The numbers and typography are themed on the United States Constitution, with hints of purple throughout. Purple was originally used for the Military Badge for Merit in the Revolutionary War, and now it is the color of the Purple Heart.
Sleek silver helmets include an espontoon emblem running though the center, a nod to the Army’s status as the tip of the spear for the country’s armed forces, as well as the U.S. Army seal on the lids’ sides.
Other details found on the uniform include a “1775” marker on the back of the helmets (paying homage to the year the Continental Army was established), a chain emblem on the jersey’s collar logo (a reference to the 75-ton “Great Chain” that stretched across the Hudson River from West Point during the Revolution and helped prevent the British from controlling the key waterway) and the Great Seal of the United States on the left shoulder.
As the Black Knights take the field in this historic all-white look, they carry with them a powerful reminder of the Army’s 250-year legacy of service to the Nation. Every detail—from the marble-inspired design to the symbols of strength and sacrifice—connects today’s team to generations of Soldiers who have stood at the tip of the spear. The Army-Navy Game is more than a rivalry; it is a celebration of tradition, honor, and the unwavering commitment to duty that binds the Long Gray Line.
