โThe Strategic Air Command adorns the front right chest of the uniform while the name plate uses the orange outline with the airport codes for Andersen AFB, U Tapao and the 7th Bomber Wing patch to represent all former B-52 units,โ the announcement continued.
โThe left pant leg features 11 B-52 plane silhouettes representing the 11 days of bombing during the conflict. The right-side pant leg has the tail flash of the plane and the number on each playerโs pant leg matches their uniform number for the first time in the history of the series.โ
Kickoff between Air Force and Navy is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
