Army will look to continue a dominant 2024 football season with a new look.
Following consecutive six-win seasons, the Black Knights have jumped to a 7-0 start. Army has scored more than 40 points four straight times entering Saturday's game against Air Force at West Point.
On Thursday, Army unveiled special gear for the rivalry matchup. The team will pair its traditional black uniforms with black helmets featuring a skull and crossbones.

The sleek helmets drew rave reviews on social media.
"These are my favorite I've seen in a long time from ANY team," a fan declared.
"Service academy jerseys just hit different," a fan said.
"Here I am thinking I'm not spending any money until the Navy game uni release," an Army fan wrote.
"Army by a billion," The Next Round's Scott Forester wrote.
Regardless of its uniforms, Army has looked unstoppable this season. The Black Knights are averaging 40.7 points per game and have won every matchup by at least 17.
Led by quarterback Bryson Daily and running back Kanye Udoh, Army leads the nation with a resounding 359.1 rushing yards per game. Daily ran for five touchdowns in a 45-28 triumph over East Carolina two weeks ago.
If they run the table, the Black Knights could make a serious College Football Playoff case. The highest-ranked Group of Five school earns an automatic bid, and only No. 15 Boise State is ahead of No. 21 Army in the latest AP poll.
Army is a 23.5-point favorite to dispatch Air Force on Saturday, but Jeff Monken's team will face a significant test when facing Notre Dame on Nov. 23. The Black Knights will first look to avoid a trap game at Michie Stadium.
Saturday's matchup starts at noon ET on CBS.
