The uniform is inspired by and pays homage to seven of the historic ships that make up the U.S. Naval Fleet. Each ship is detailed on one of seven hand-painted helmets that each player will wear, assigned by position. Additionally, the rally cry “damn the torpedoes!” is featured on the uniform as a nod to Admiral Farragut’s historic Naval victory at the Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864.

Design Details:
• Uniform font replicates the design and font used on Navy ships.
• Battleship gray color featured on the cleats, baselayer sleeves and jersey shoulders.
• Eagle, Globe and Anchor Marine Corps logo highlighted on the uniform pant.
• Baselayer features the overhead sketch of the seven Naval ships featured on the helmets.
• “Damn the Torpedoes!” scripted on the uniform pant and jersey hem as a reminder of the historic battle cry that rallies the U.S. Naval Fleet.

According to Army’s official release, the 10th Mountain Division, which was originally called the 10th Light Alpine Division, trained in some harsh weather:

These soldiers trained at 9,200 feet to learn to fight, and survive, in the most brutal mountain conditions. Bill Bowerman, who would eventually go on to co-found Nike, organized the supplies and maintained the mules for the 10th Mountain Division as a Major in the Army, serving at the time as the commander of the 86th Regiment’s First Battalion.

The patch is on the uniform’s right shoulder to honor those who served. On the back of the helmet, the unit’s Follow Me stripe is found:

10th Mountain Division soldiers operated in blustery winter conditions. To stay in formation a dark stripe was placed on the back of their uniforms known as the “Follow Me” stripe. A similar stripe will adorn Army helmets when they take the field on Dec. 9

Miami is at the top of it’s class when it come to uniform innovations. With their newest Adidas uniform being made of recycled materials taken from the plastics in the ocean.

In a move to be eco-friendly, the University of Miami football program has agreed to be the first college team to wear uniforms, cleats and gloves made from ocean waste.

Miami’s alternate uniform, designed in partnership with Parley for the Oceans, will be worn by the Hurricanes during their season opener against LSU at the 2018 AdvoCare Classic at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Sept. 2.

In 2017 the Oregon ducks college football team came out with some new uniforms. These uniforms were designed by three kids from the OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. The ducks wore these special uniforms to help raise awareness for all cancer research.

Oregon’s football team has teamed up with childhood cancer survivors to unveil new #StompOutCancer uniforms that the team will wear for its game against Nebraska in Week 2, the university announced.

“I really think that this is the most important uniform that Oregon has ever worn,” Nike creative director Todd Van Horne said. “I really, really hope that this helps raise the funding and awareness to beat childhood cancer.”

The jerseys were designed by children and Nike designers. More than 15,000 kids will be diagnosed with cancer every year, the university announced.

The gloves have the word “overcome” written on the knuckles. The sleeves feature a Duck mid-run about to stomp on the word “cancer.”

The cleats have a camouflage pattern.
