Navy football has been pulling out the big guns in preparation for this week’s Army-Navy game, and it looks like they’ll be armed by their good friends at Under Armour.
The Maryland-based athletic company announced Monday they’d be outfitting the Midshipmen with some special-edition “Don’t Tread On Me” uniforms in hopes of increasing their chances of victory. (RELATED: Navy Wants To Kick The “Ship” Out Of Army)
