Army and Navy are set to square off on the football field on Saturday, in what will be the 119th matchup between the two service academies.
For this particular year, Nike has created World War II-inspired uniforms that Army will be wearing to honor paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division that fought in the war. Here’s what they look like:
