Navy will wear incredible "Silent Service" uniforms and hand painted helmets inspired by submarines for Army game

Army and Navy annually face off in one of the greatest traditions of college football to mark the official end of the regular season across college football.

While the game is filled with unmatched pageantry, the two sides also face off in what has become the most anticipated alternate uniform face off in college football.

It all seemed to really take off back in 2015, Navy went viral with special hand painted helmets for their Army match up, where each position group had their own unique Naval ship representing them. Navy was a trailblazer with that approach, as no program had ever done anything like that before.

This year, Navy may have outdone themselves with these new "Silent Service" uniforms crafted using the inspiration of a submarine.

Why Silent Service? Navy shares: "Submerged hundreds of feet below the surface for months, our service members constantly patrol and navigate classified missions. Silently they move through the sea, deployed to protect and discover."

These may be my favorite yet (although I seem to catch myself saying that every year.

Featuring a color called "Eclipse Navy", which is described as Under Armour's darkest shade of navy blue, the uniform is designed to mimic the covert design of a submarine hull.

"The overall design was intended to be simple and utilitarian to convey the stealth purposes of a submarine's design," the school shares in their detailed release.

Like their viral helmets of 2015, these lids will also be hand painted.

"Each helmet is hand painted with the right side depicting a Virginia Class Submarine underwater and the left side depicting Navy’s customary Navy anchor with the submariner pin integrated into it with color changing pragmatic paint. The front flex panel depicts a color changing sonar which is used on submarines to find their target. The front decal of the helmet says Navy, while the back decal says Silent Service."

The details carry all the way down to the cleats, which are crafted with a pattern reflecting waves and the movement of the sea.

Not to be outdone, Army shared a teaser for their uniforms last night.

More to come on those...
