In case anyone missed it...

The Army-Navy game being on now and my eyes still running around in circles from watching it, can you guys believe the redesigned uniforms?

Army(US Military Academy) in camoflage helmets and pants? And the numbers were a camoflage pattern also?

Navy(US Naval Academy) in a uniform officially stated to be intended to be reminiscent of a USMC dress uniform with reference to the US Blue Angels (via the blue and gold top of their shoulder pads areas)?

First time I've ever been embarrassed to say that I served in both branches!

Airman Battle Unifrom (the Air Force's new cammies)

ABU: Airman Battle Uniform (Air Force Only)
ACU: Army Combat Uniform (Army Only)

Similar, but different

um k. Tks.

Still embarrassed by both uniforms. They made me think that Billy Bob and kin were playing a bunch of doormen from Manhattan.

But that's just my opinion.
