This is a uniform roll-out, IMHO


The uniform for the Army team today will honor the US Army 1st Infantry Division/28th Infantry Regiment, know as the Black Lions of Cantigny. The 28th Regiment was the first US unit to engage the German Army during the 1st World War.

in a viciously fought three-day battle, the 28th Infantry captured Cantigny and then withstood five determined German counterattacks. Here were born the "Lions of Cantigny", and here the prestige of the American fighting man was upheld before the world.

The unit would distinguish itself as part of the 1st Infantry Divsion, aka the Big Red One, aka the Bloody First.

Go Army!
