Navy Unveils Uniforms for Notre Dame Game on Halloween
Everyone loves to get dressed up on Halloween, including college football teams. The Navy Midshipmen plan to wear special throwback uniforms against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday, Oct. 31. The annual rivalry game will be played at at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.

The school's social media team shared a hype video and campaign photos of the incredible throwback uniforms. The alternate look takes inspiration from what the Midshipmen wore a century ago, but with current performance technology and design elements.
The jersey is a modern interpretation of the iconic "Chevron Stripe" uniform worn. It features nine stripes across the upper body (four on the front and five on the back), which represents the team's 9-0-1 record.

The Naval Academy's alma mater, "Navy Blue and Gold," inspired the traditional blue and gold uniforms. The song was first performed publicly in its current form in 1926, and officially designated as the Academy's alma mater in 1927. The words "Navy Blue and Gold" are stitched into the interior jersey collar.
The back-neck locker tag is based on the Class of 1926 pin. Meanwhile, the typography found on the class pin inspired the jersey numbers. Last but not least, a commemorative patch recognizes the 100th anniversary of Navy's 1926 national championship.
