Air Force football alternate uniform?

[m0ng0]

I know that nobody besides me cares about Air Force football, however their alternate uniform is causing a stir. Patriotic or poor taste?

Air Force honors 1942 Doolittle Raid with latest alternate football uniforms

The Air Force Falcons will morph into the Raiders on select occasions this season, and they’re pumped about it.

Sounds pretty cool to me, but then I'm a bit of a history buff.

I like them. Doolittle wasn't Hiroshima/Nagasaki.

I also like that the Air Force isn't backing down or apologizing for something that they shouldn't have to. Whiners need to be told to kick rocks more frequently.

Love it

Now let's get the Red Tails some recognition!! I wish the "Commanders" were called the "Red Tails" honoring the Tuskegee Airmen. A man can dream.

That's not a bad idea!

But as far as the Red Tails getting some recognition, the Air Force Academy has already included the Tuskegee Airmen as part of this tribute series, according to the linked article.

That’s great. I still wish the Washington team would have named themselves the Red Tails. I still find the Commanders a silly name that just doesn’t sound right.

That would've been a great name, it has significance behind it. "Commanders" is such a generic name.

 

[m0ng0]

Yes indeed and any time a person asks what does that mean you can keep the story alive!!

Anyways let's not get off topic of my MIGHTY AIR FORCE FALCONS

 

[Aircrew]

At least one school still has a pair when it comes to uniforms.

That would require college level academics.

Air Force defends ‘Doolittle’ football uniform from online critics

The Air Force Academy football team plans to wear a special uniform this season honoring the Doolittle Raiders.

the actual uniform and helmet.

Id say cheerforce but.. up until 1956 it was Army Air Force lol.

PS Army's Uniforms are pretty slick too. I usually really enjoy what have picked to honor the different units, the 1st Armored Division one's last year were cool, a few years before that the Big Red One's were badass too.

I think those are nice unis


I like this Helmet from Richland High School. Home of the Bombers !! Tri Cities Washington . There's some history as they worked on the atomic bombs nearby at Hanford nuclear reservation during the war.
