Navy takes on their rivals from West Point in the annual Army-Navy Game this Saturday. History will be made, as Navy will be the first football team in NCAA history to use a football with colored laces.
Navy showed off a glimpse of the specially-designed football they will be using this weekend with an image on Twitter. The laces are yellow to match Navy’s awesome uniforms for the game, and a giant Navy anchor logo is painted on the side of the football:

Big Game USA is selling these footballs as well, for the cool price of $94.95. Big Game USA is known for commemorative footballs. In fact, they showed off their own tease with boxes and boxes of footballs being shipped out for bowl games this season:

Now all that is left to wonder is if Army has some specially-designed footballs in their bag for the game.
