The Air Force Falcons will wear a special uniform at the upcoming Air Power Legacy Series football match up with the U.S. Naval Academy. The uniform will honor the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider.
The United States Air Force Academy’s football team will wear a special “alternative” uniform for the 10th annual Air Power Legacy Series (APLS) when the Air Force Falcons meet the Navy Midshipmen on October 3. The uniform will honor the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider, the Air Force’s new stealth bomber and the world’s first “sixth-generation” combat aircraft.
According to the aerospace firm, the uniform draws inspiration from the B-21’s distinctive shape, stealth, and advanced technology.
“There’s something powerful about seeing the future of American airpower represented on the uniforms of cadets who are themselves the future of our Air Force,” said Tom Jones, corporate vice president and president of Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems. “The B-21 Raider is designed to evolve and stay ahead of future threats, giving our Airmen a decisive advantage against any adversary. As we accelerate production to deliver this warfighting capability, these uniforms celebrate the partnership between Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Air Force in support of the B-21 and its critical mission.”
The B-21 Raider is named for the 80 men and 16 B-25 Mitchell medium bombers, led by Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle, who took part in the famed raid over Tokyo on April 18, 1942.
