Instead of a gold helmet, the 2016 headgear features a more modern &#8220;high gloss yellow finish,&#8221; according to the announcement, to go with &#8220;Academy Gold&#8221; pants.<br\/><br\/>The school&#8217;s athletics department posted a video of the uniform&#8217;s reveal to players, complete with some close-up images:<br\/><br\/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V9bwy7gYKM8\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><br\/><br\/>Other design features include:<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>An &#8220;N&#8221; with four stars atop each shoulder, similar to what the 1963 team wore when it defeated Army.<\/li><li>The &#8220;Beat Army&#8221; motto on the jersey hem and the gloves.<\/li><li>A blue stripe and fouled anchor on the helmet\u00a0\u2014\u00a0a radical departure from last year&#8217;s <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/story\/sports\/college\/ncaa\/2015\/11\/30\/navy-wear-7-different-helmets-army-navy-game\/76583896\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link: https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/story\/sports\/college\/ncaa\/2015\/11\/30\/navy-wear-7-different-helmets-army-navy-game\/76583896\/\">position-specific ship designs<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/navy-uniforms-02.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/navy-uniforms-02.jpg.jpg 540w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/navy-uniforms-02.jpg.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/navy-uniforms-02.jpg.jpg?resize=300,300 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span>Navy&#8217;s yellow-and-blue design honors the 1963 team that defeated Army and played in the Cotton Bowl.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span>Photo Credit: ArmyNavyGame.com<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staubach&#8217;s 1963 team\u00a0\u2014\u00a0coached by another College Football Hall of Famer, Wayne Hardin\u00a0\u2014\u00a0finished the year ranked second in The Associated Press poll and went undefeated outside the state of Texas, losing to Southern Methodist on Oct. 11 and to national-champion Texas in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 1, 1964.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staubach earned the Heisman Trophy in 1963 on the same day the schools announced plans to postpone the Army-Navy game until Dec. 7 as part of a period of mourning after President Kennedy&#8217;s assassination.
