2022 Army Black Knights Old Ironsides Edition Game Issued Nike Vapor Elite Ball

Army Black Knights Game Issued Nike Vapor Elite NCAA Football - "Old Ironsides" Edition Game Ball for the 2022 Army v Navy Football Game

The ball itself is still in great shape, holds a full complement of air and has its logos and lacing still well nicely intact. This Army edition game ball was a limited production run in 2022, making it all the more unique. Below describes the tribute to this incredibly designed game ball. 

The 2022 Army-Navy Uniform and football tell the story of the soldiers of the 1st Armored Division during World War II. This year marks the 80th anniversary of Operation Torch and the commencement of American ground operations against Axis forces in the European theater, which included North Africa. Operation Torch marked the 1st Armored Division’s entry into the crucible of combat. The resilience, grit, and commitment demonstrated by the soldiers ultimately resulted in the defeat of Axis forces in North Africa. In the harsh desert against a determined enemy, the members of the 1st Armored Division were forged into “Iron Soldiers” and learned the lessons that would guide them to success in subsequent operations in Italy and Western Europe. On December 10, Army will honor the “Iron Soldiers” of the 1st Armored Division and take the field in Philadelphia inspired by the story of “Old Ironsides.”  In honor of their legacy, Army will proudly wear their patches and adopt their mottos, with the patch featuring as the third panel logo on this year’s football.
