Army football will wear special "organic camouflage" uniforms for the Dec. 12 rivalry game against Navy at MetLife Stadium, honoring the 4th Infantry Division known as the "Ivy Soldiers."
The design pays tribute to soldiers who served in Operation Atlantic Resolve from 2014 to 2019. Details include 3D-embossed ivy vines on the cleats and the phrase "Ivy soldier" on the back of each jersey in place of player names.
Former NFL star Michael Strahan narrated the uniform announcement, highlighting the division's legacy since the Sept. 11 attacks. "We will strive to emulate their dominance of any type of battlefield," Strahan said.
The 4th Infantry Division has produced 25 Medal of Honor recipients over its 100-plus-year history. Navy enters the game as a 2.5-point favorite.
