it was on one of the other screens at the bar while I was watching the Richmond/Appy game.

didn't really pay much attention to it, but I did notice the uniforms and thought that they looked kinda cool. (as well as noticing that Army got whooped up on)

I find it more than slightly irritating the Navy uniform has the Marine Corps emblem on it and is styled after the Corps dress uniform.

But aren't the Marines a part of the Department of the Navy?


"Alongside the U.S. Navy, the Marine Corps operates under the United States Department of the Navy."

Those Army uniforms were pretty cool, although Navy dominated them.

I have to write a whole sentence just to say, "Me too!"

Yes, they are a department within the Navy, but the Naval Academy supplies officers to both the Navy and the Marine Corps. The Academy is steeped in Naval heritage and the uniforms the cadets wear are based on Naval uniforms. It's disrespectful at worst and ignorant at best to make the football uniform with a Marine emblem, which only represents a small portion of the graduating cadets' commissions.

Put the academy emblem on the uniform or the mascot.

I agree that the Marine emblem shouldn't be on the uniform because they haven't earned the right to wear it...that's what makes it disrespectful...Semper Fi!

That makes sense. Just curious.

Those army uni's were bad ass, and need to be worn every game.

Re: The next best Uniforms

Would the EG&A be used if that person were going in to the Corps? In a similiar manner, the Army uniforms used to bear the logos of the various active duty divisions, I think tied to where that athlete was slotted to see service upon graduation. Could be my misperception.

Re: The next best Uniforms

Army's new uni's are pretty cool. They should use those permanently.

They probably should also move to FCS, although I don't see their win/loss ratio going up appreciably if they did.

Re: The next best Uniforms

No, the EGA was used on all the uniforms. The Midshipmen were wearing various patches on the front of their jersey but the EGA was part of the jersey. IMHO the only insignia that should be on the uniform is the fouled anchor, which is the rank insignia for all midshipmen.

Plus, most Marines are pretty touchy about people wearing the EGA that haven't earned it.
