Navy Reveal 'Jolly Roger' Uniforms for Game vs. Army in Hype Video: 'Fear the Bones'
November 20, 2024
Navy has released the alternate jerseys it will wear for its highly anticipated rivalry clash with Army on Dec. 14.
The threads are inspired by the Jolly Rogers fighting squadron, which adopted their name from the famous flag flown by pirates dating back to the 18th century.

Earlier in the year, fans had high hopes for the newest installment in one of college football's most famous rivalries. With Army and Navy both off to 6-0 starts, there was a slim chance their enounter would have implications on the College Football Playoff race.
The Midshipmen have dropped three of their last four games since then, however. The Black Knights are sitting at 9-0 but have Notre Dame ahead on Saturday, so they may not be unbeaten much longer, either.
Still, Army vs. Navy is always a big occasion on the calendar and this could be the first time since 2019 that one of the two is ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll going into the game.
