Army Uniforms For Navy Game To Honor 10th Mountain Division

Army football players will "honor the cold-weather warriors of the 10th Mountain Division, and the unit’s World War II origins, with special uniforms set to debut at Saturday’s Army-Navy game." The gear "comes as a joint product of Nike and the school’s history department." Among the highlights are a "'whitewashed' helmet with flakes of olive drab, simulating the effects of wear on the makeshift white paint jobs performed by World War II-era 10th Mountain soldiers in snowy locales." There are also "patches honoring some of the units once attached to the 10th Mountain Division," as well as "nods to unofficial unit symbols such as the crossed-skis insignia and various panda-themed images, developed by those serving at the unit’s Pando, Colorado, training facility" (ARMYTIMES.com, 12/4).
