The Navy football season will be opening the season in a new uniform. Under Armor designed the uniform, dubbed ‘summer white,’ to resemble the iconic Navy Summer Whites military uniform. The details is everywhere from helmet being inspired by the hats, to the gold belt buckles, to white cleats to represent the white dress shoes of the uniform.

Another fascinating detais is that the athletes will be wearing their specific rank on their shoulder broad and on the pant leg. This is the first time it has ever been done.

From Navy’s website:

"Freshmen will be wearing uniforms that only have the anchor on the shoulder and pant leg, but no stripes, while sophomores will have one diagonal stripe. Juniors will have two diagonal stripes and seniors will have one parallel stripe. Navy captains Noah Copeland and Parrish Gaines will wear a star and three parallel stripes, the rank of a midshipmen lieutenant."
