When Army takes the field against Navy Dec. 12, the team will be wearing a uniform inspired by the 27th Infantry Regiment, also known as the Wolfhounds. The storied unit has a history dating back to the 19th Century, earning its nickname while fighting Bolsheviks in Russian Siberia. It has since served in almost every American conflict since World War II.
