This year's Army-Navy Game uniforms for the Army Black Knights are dedicated to the soldiers of the 1st Armored Division during World War II. This year marks the 80th anniversary of Operation Torch, which was the start of the United States' ground operations in Europe and North Africa. The "Iron Soldiers" defeated Axis forces in North African harsh desert conditions.
Approximately 125,000 soldiers landed in Algeria and French Morocco in November 1942 in what was the largest amphibious landing in history of the time.
The helmet decal has the 1st Armored Division's unit patch which includes cavalry (yellow), infantry (blue), and field artillery (red). The black of the helmet read "Old Ironsides" unit's nickname.
The uniform (jersey and pants) feature a "mud splatter" look to highlight the harsh conditions experienced by the unit's tanks. The kahcki (green/brown) colors and number font are the same as those used on the M3 tanks during World War II. The green represents the fields of Europe, while the brown is for the deserts of Africa. The "1Δ" on the pants is the insignia of the 1st Armored Division and was how their vehicles would be identified in the field.[2]
