The Army football team will be paying homage to the World War II paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division when it faces archrival Navy on Saturday.

The team will sport uniforms inspired by the paratroopers' jumpsuits, including a division patch, a 48-star American flag along the right shoulder, player name tapes, full-color historical unit patches and an improvised camo base layer.

Army players will also wear an "All American" patch across the front of their jerseys. The division's nickname originally referred to drawing members from every state during World War I.

Inspired by World War II 82nd paratroopers, we honor the past by re-telling stories of valor, courage & sacrifice. https://t.co/nxhNsSOUB3 pic.twitter.com/xU1q5vjghO — ArmyWestPoint Sports (@GoArmyWestPoint) December 5, 2016
