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...

Lake County Parodies "Major League" For Promo

((HT: Lake County Captains their own selves/Josh Porter))

It's the 25th anniversary of one of the HQ's favorite movies, so this minor league team took it upon themselves to riff off one of the best American Express ads in the history of movies...


In order, the players who got to read off cue cards:

Eric Haase
Matt Whitehouse
Dace Kime
Nellie Rodriguez
Paul Hendrix
Mark Budzinski
Clint Frazier

And here's the original from MovieClips

As they should...


Who is writing this stuff, indeed...

Richard Sherman Cuts A Promo

((HT: NFL on FOX))

Bottom line...

If people are chapped at Seahawks DB Richard Sherman cut the following promo after the game his team WON... then, there should have been something done about it by the 49ers...

Scoreboard talks...
And Sherman did...


Can't wait for Media Daze...

CM Punk Cuts In-Ring Blackhawks Promo

((HT: WWE/Puck Daddy))

The HQ will admit that there are few athletes that can cut a promo these days... something got lost in translation from the wrestlers we grew up with and there is a disconnect in the modern-day guy that works the stick.

Most either just can't or their persona goes against the idea of being a smart talker...

CM Punk, however, is not one of those disconnected...

Last night, the WWE was in Punk's home town, which is always good for a hometown promo...


Play to your audience, young man... and they are yours...
