Navy's 1960s throwback uniforms for the Army game are fantastic

These helmets are incredible.

Every season, one of college football’s best rivalry games features some of the best alternate uniforms, and this season is no different. For the Army-Navy game at Lincoln Financial Field on December 14, the Midshipmen released their highly anticipated uniforms Thursday, and they’re fantastic.

In the 120th matchup between these two teams, Navy will wear throwback uniforms that celebrate its two Heisman Trophy winners from the early 1960s: Joe Bellino, who won in 1960, and Roger Staubach, who won in 1963. In that four-year period, not only were the Midshipmen 4-0 against Army, but they also had a 30-12 overall record.

As Under Armour noted: “The uniforms they wore featured a traditional navy blue contrasted with brilliant gold accents, a brilliant look for some of the best teams in the nation during their respective seasons.”

While the striped shoulders and gold pants closely resemble Navy’s 1960s uniforms, the helmet has to be the best part of their look, and it was inspired by the actual Heisman Trophy Bellino and Staubach earned. More via Under Armour:

A burnished coat of bronze paint wraps each helmet and lays beneath Navy’s iconic anchor logo that serves as a call to the Naval Academy’s roots at sea, while the two Heisman winner’s uniform numbers are front and center. Each ‘Heisman helmet’ represents a manifestation of the on-field excellence of the Academy’s forebears, as they attempt to steamroll an Army team and extend the dominance of Go Navy, Beat Army.

Here’s a look at how these uniforms came together, including the intricate process of making these incredible helmets.

Phenomenal uniforms that might even be better than last year’s Bill the Goat-inspired look.
