He didn&#8217;t speculate on possible alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Army athletics spokesman said Corrigan had nothing to add to his published remarks, but confirmed an announcement on rebranding, which could include a name change, could come in March or April, as the spring intercollegiate athletics season comes to a close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Black Knights&#8221; has been the official nickname of all Army teams since 1999, but its roots go far deeper, with New York sportswriters calling the football club &#8220;The Black Knights of the Hudson&#8221; as early as the 1920s. That name would go along with the traditional &#8220;Cadets&#8221; moniker for most of Army football&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;When I was getting recruited &#8230; it was almost interchangeable between the two,&#8221; said Alex Moore, a captain with the 2002 Army football team whose first year at West Point was the first under the name change. &#8220;Personally, I like more the Black Knights. Cadets are great &#8230; but I&#8217;d like a name that really encompasses the entire Army.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Black Knights&#8221; picked up traction in the mid-1940s, during Army&#8217;s run atop the college football landscape. The team went unbeaten from 1944 to 1946, cranked out back-to-back Heisman Trophy winners (Doc Blanchard in 1945, followed by Glenn Davis) and outdrew the NFL&#8217;s Giants when playing in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">National identification wasn&#8217;t much of an issue at that point, with the team&#8217;s record speaking for itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It was kind of a metaphor for the U.S. Army&#8217;s strength,&#8221; said Jack Cavanaugh, whose half-century in journalism includes a stint covering Army football for the New York Times. He said he ran into the nickname issue while writing &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.triumphbooks.com\/mr--inside-and-mr--outside-products-9781600789298.php?page_id=21\" title=\"http:\/\/www.triumphbooks.com\/mr--inside-and-mr--outside-products-9781600789298.php?page_id=21\">Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside<\/a>,&#8221; a look at the Blanchard-Davis teams during the final days and aftermath of World War II, while poring through contemporary newspaper accounts that varied between team identifiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Personally, I like &#8216;Cadets&#8217; better,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rumors of a switch back to Cadets started earlier this year, Moore said, and while he might prefer Black Knights, he&#8217;s fine with whatever change gets made \u2014 on one condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;m all for it if it reverses the streak against Navy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We had more success with that when we were the Cadets.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s only been in place since 1999, but &#8216;Black
