Death, taxes and Army and Navy going all out with special alternate uniforms for their annual rivalry matchup.
Earlier this week, Army revealed its look for the 2026 edition of the game, a green number honoring the "Ivy Soldiers" of the 4th Infantry Division. On Thursday, Navy responded with its own threads for the game, and they didn't disappoint.
The theme for Navy's uniforms this year? Special warfare.
In keeping with tradition for Army-Navy alternate uniforms, the look is jam-packed with details paying homage to its theme -- more than we could list in one compact article. Among particularly notable homages are a special stencil typography for the jersey's wordmark that's commonly found commonly in Naval Special Warfare training environments, equipment and watercraft and the inclusion of a "bone frog" logo, a symbol in the U.S. Navy SEAL and Naval Special Warfare community that honors fallen operators and "frogmen."
Even the uniform's color palette is a subtle twist on the academy's classic colors -- white and a variety of blue hues, in addition to a specially developed Naval Special Warfare print featuring even more shades -- "blue mist, moonstone blue and isotope blue."
"The combination of tonal blues and camouflage-inspired graphics represents the stealth, precision, adaptability and operational versatility of Naval Special Warfare forces," according to Navy's release.

A glossy helmet comes with even more details, including a pair of insignia as the featured logos on either side -- the Navy SEAL Trident on one, and the SWCC Master Warboat insignia on the other, among other elements.
Whether 2026 Army-Navy will be a game to remember on the gridiron will be determined on Dec. 12 . But what's certain in the meantime is it will be another memorable matchup in the arena of uniform style.
