The Army Emblem
The emblem of the United States Army, emblazoned upon every player's helmet, serves as a constant reminder that this team's players represent more than just the Academy when they step on the field. This team represents the service and sacrifices made by 250 years of Soldiers and their families in service to the United States Army.

Constitution Font
The typography on the uniforms links the Army's present to America's founding documents. Written in the same style as the United States Constitution, it showcases the importance of having an Army that swears loyalty to a set of ideas rather than a monarch. These players will all swear to uphold and defend this very document - a compact that has guided our nation throughout its vaunted history - upon their graduation and commissioning into the United States Army.

The Great Seal
The Great Seal on the right shoulder symbolizes the Army’s duty to the United States in both peace and war. The olive branch and the arrows held by the eagle signify America’s ability to pursue peace or war and these players understand that the Army has a duty to perform under either condition. In times of peace the Army has served the nation honorably conducting a myriad of difficult duties and in times of war the Army has stood as the vanguard of freedom and the American way of life.

AMERICA'S FIRST NATIONAL INSTITUTION
Since its establishment on June 14, 1775 — more than a year before the Declaration of Independence — the U.S. Army has played a vital role in the growth and development of the American nation. Drawing on both long-standing militia traditions and recently introduced professional standards, it won the new republic's independence in an arduous eight-year struggle against Great Britain. At times, the Army provided the lone symbol of nationhood around which patriots rallied.
Behind The Uniform
Created in partnership with Nike, this year's Army West Point uniform design honors the the Army's 250 years of service and sacrifice. Watch the video for the full story behind the uniform and explore the inspiration on the website.
Today's Army
Older than the nation it defends, the U.S. Army has made a difference in America's history since its founding. More than that, it continues to have an impact on the globe. From defending the homeland, responding to disasters and supporting multinational exercises, the Army's impact at home and abroad cannot be understated.

U.S. ARMY CULTURE AND PROFESSIONS
U.S. Army culture is built on seven core values: loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage. These values are instilled in Soldiers during basic combat training, instilling the importance of personal excellence and accountability. These values also help build trust with the American people through honorable service, military expertise and stewardship. Every Army professional — from combat, to support, to technical — live by these values in and out of uniform. Visit the Army 101 features to learn more about the values and culture of the U.S. Army.
