Army Navy game
I haven't paid attention to this game since ever, not just since Army began a 14-year losing streak (and Army is winning now). However, we're watching it today after taking a break from home remodeling.

Does anyone know why the flags on Army's right shoulders are backwards? The field with the stars should be facing forwards. At least it did on my shoulder when playing for Army in the Sand Bowl.

Ok, I found it. Army's uniforms this game (or season?) were paying tribute to the 82nd Airborne in WWII. This is why the flag was "backwards" as compared to how it's worn today.

Congrats on the victory, cadets.
