US: Army and Navy teams trial Nike shrink wrap uniform

Write: Apollonia [2011-05-20]
Sporting goods firm Nike will debut its new 'shrink wrap' football uniforms this weekend during the 109th meeting of the US Army vs Navy teams.

Nike said the new unforms, called "Enforcer", had better moisture management and less grab points.

The Army helmet and pant has a digital print camouflage pattern, and "Duty, Honor, Country" will be displayed on the back of each player's jersey along with their uniform number.

Navy players, meanwhile, will wear their traditional sun gold helmet and their jersey will have the US Marines globe and anchor logo, and shoulder boards with a Navy with Gold trim to depict the wings of the Blue Angel plane.
