Air Force will honor the Tuskegee Airmen when they take the field against Navy on Oct. 3. The Falcons revealed their Air Power Legacy Series uniform themed after the historic Red Tails.
The game against Navy will be Air Force’s season opener and one of two games initially scheduled for the Falcons this fall. Their home conference, the Mountain West Conference, postponed their football season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the conference is reportedly considering to start an eight-game schedule next month.
Air Force’s uniform is highlighted by their red-top helmets that model the Red Tails of the P-51 Mustang fighter jet, the 332nd squadron flew during World War II.
Another one of many features is the scripted “Red Tails” on the jersey’s nameplate.
Air Force and Navy is set to be the first leg of this year’s Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy series. Air Force will played at Army on Nov. 7. Navy and Army will conclude the series on Dec. 12.
