LANDOVER, Md. – When the U.S. Naval Academy football team takes on the Army in their 125th meet in December, Navy uniforms will feature a logo familiar to sailors in Hampton Roads.

This week, Navy Athletics and Under Armor announced that Navy football uniforms will display the Jolly Roger logo during the Army-Navy game scheduled for December 14.

The game will be broadcast on WTKR at 3 p.m.

The “Jolly Rogers” is the nickname for VFA-103, based at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach. The historic squadron dates back to 1943 and is known for its skull-and-crossbones logo. It flies the two-seat version of the Navy’s F/A-18F Super Hornet jet.

News 3 highlighted the Jolly Rogers as its “Squadron of the Month” for September 2023.
