Army will wear helmets with 17 variations for Navy game
Not long ago, Navy revealed college football’s hottest helmet design, planned to be worn against Army.
Seven different positions would wear certain helmets with battleships, each with a purpose for the position.

Army must have seen the universal praise Navy got, because it unveiled new helmets for the game, but with 17(!) variations.
While these may not be as sharp as Navy, it’s still pretty cool that there is also some backstory involved here.

Navy (9-2) and Army (2-9) may be worlds apart on the field, but it’s hard to deny they both have some strong helmet game.
