The Army vs Navy game is happening on Saturday, Dec. 9, and the Navy has just revealed their uniforms.

Sports Illustrated has the photos, which came to us in a tweet from the Navy Athletics account.

The Navy will be wearing special ‘Blue Angels’ uniforms this weekend.

Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk said

“This tribute to the Blue Angels reflects the enthusiastic pride and appreciation we have for the Navy’s premier flying team and the motivation they convey to Navy football and the fleet at large. The masterminds at Under Armour are always thinking of ways to inspire our troops while still reflecting a deep appreciation for a Naval history that is so ingrained in our game day traditions. Annually, a special Navy uniform has become a statement in this game and brings with it appreciated meaning and a clear message that we are all in.”
