Following the lead of the football and baseball programs, the Navy Midshipmen lacrosse team recently unveiled new Jolly Rogers-inspired alternate uniforms that pay homage to the most lethal and history-rich squadron in naval aviation.
The Jolly Rogers have flown nine different types of aircraft dating back to World War II, with the pilots of Vought F4U Corsairs racking up more than 150 kills by the end of the war. They’ve also seen action in the Vietnam War, Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom, among other engagements.
The all-white uniforms, which will be worn during Saturday’s game against Army (12:30 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network), are influenced by the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornets currently flown by Strike Fighter Squadron 103, who are stationed at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach.
They feature a “Navy” wordmark across the chest and a custom number font that is pulled directly from the side of the aircraft, as well as navy blue shoulder yoke that was a prominent fixture on the football and baseball uniforms.
There’s a thin yellow stripe on the collar that mimics the jet’s tail fin, while the sleeve cuffs and sides of the shorts include victory stripes – an angled striping pattern with chevrons that sits just below the cockpit.
The Jolly Rogers’ skull and crossbones can be seen on the sleeves, while the Eagle, Globe and Anchor – the Marine Corps’ official emblem and insignia – is on the right hip. Each player will also have a unit patch of their choosing on their left shoulder.
While nowhere near as detailed as the football team’s helmets, the uniforms are complete with white lids that also include navy blue and gold stripes down the middle and navy blue chevrons containing the Jolly Rogers insignia on the sides.
