Camouflage Football Uniforms

I didn’t catch the Army-Navy game but on the way home I heard on the radio that they wore camouflage helmets, but it turns out their pants and jersey numbers were also in camo.  I think this is a pretty cool look for Army.

While trying to find a picture of the uniforms I also found out this game introduced new items by both Riddell and Nike.  Read the Riddell piece here and the Nike piece here.  In short, it looks like Riddell provided the new helmets and Nike provided the Enchancer uniforms for both Army and Navy.

Super high resolution photos (that don’t show the uniforms well) are here:

Dubya was also at the game, and there are a few somewhat funny photos of him here.  He always seems pretty relaxed when he’s at a sporting event, but then again, who isn’t.

Mug Shot Metamorphosis

Meet Michael Campbell, before and after. The Colorado man has a long rap sheet and prison history, though you probably could have guessed that based on the below mug shots. In the “before” photos, Campbell is seen following a 2003 theft arrest in Jefferson County, Colorado. The “after” photos were snapped about six weeks ago, when Campbell was again popped and jailed at the Jefferson County lockup. Though he has been in and out of custody between 2003 and 2008, Campbell, 33, apparently used his infrequent time on the street to aggressively supplement his facial and neck art. It is unclear, however, why his ears, to date, have been left untouched. But that polka-dotted bow tie (at least we think it’s a bow tie) was a wonderful addition. (1 page).
