Navy's New Uniforms And Viral Promo For Saturday Are Epic

((HT: CBS Sports/Navy Athletics))

For those of you who don't have it on your bucket list, the Army-Navy game should be for more than the obvious reason...

Navy's uniforms have, traditionally, gone out there a little bit and have been pretty cool.

This year, though, they took the next step...
One example...

From The Navy themselves is the explainer:

The Under Armour uniforms are inspired by the First Navy Jack. In 2002 Secretary of the Navy Gordon R. England ordered all United States Navy ships to fly the First Navy Jack with the "Don't Tread On Me" motto and moving rattlesnake in place of the regular Navy Jack for the duration of the global war on terror. The First Navy Jack, with its red and white stripes, was first used by the Continental Navy during the American Revolution.

On the uniforms, the "Don't Tread On Me" motto is embroidered into the hem of each jersey as well as the side of the pants, and right sleeve of the baselayer.

The 13 red and white stripes featured in the flag are incorporated into the shoulders of the jersey, knee insets of the pants, palms of the gloves, baselayer and socks.

Under Armour has designed a new N-Star logo using the red and white stripes of the flag with an interlocking rattlesnake, which will appear on the side of the helmets.


The HQ, though, really just wants to know where we can get the new gear...

And the Navy is one-upping their opponents with the following promo cut by Midshipman Second Class Rylan Tuohy


The HQ gives a ship- and you should, too...

Speaking Of CWS History: Here's One For Jackson State

((HT: KLFY-TV))

They've lost since, but Jackson State got their first-ever win in College World Series history against 6th-national seed Louisiana-Lafayette in Lafayette, 1-0.

The HQ has covered the rough season the JSU team has had- that all started with their bus burning to the ground on the side of the road with their equipment in it. Other Mississippi schools pitched in and have given them the basics to get through their season. The group have galvanized and have run through everyone since.

Here's their first-round win

Good for them, indeed...

Unless, of course, it's a "different color"

Can We Just Go Back To The Creamsicle Unis...???

((HT: My Fox Tampa Bay))

It looks like someone took the clock from "24" and just combined some pewter and creamsicle trim with gunmetal gray and black...

You get the new Tampa Bay Bucs jerseys...

Really...

It might be going well. It might not...

The HQ doesn't like it one damn bit...unless you're talking about the San Francisco Demons jerseys that just got ripped off...

#SmellTheChange In Allentown

((HT: WFMZ-TV))

The Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs are the triple-a team for the Philadelphia Phillies...

But, as the team heads for their 7th season, the uniform is heading for a little change...
And, to be honest, you can't go wrong with bacon...
video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player It's either in the form of "Mouth-Watering Bacon" or "Molten Steel" as the weekend uniforms go different from an all-black look to the bacon strip on the hat. The full rundown of the new looks are here and they are amazing...
It even involves scratch and sniff...

And that is the amazing part...
