Army just dropped the loudest uniform in the rivalry’s history. For the Dec. 12 Army-Navy game, the Black Knights will wear green camo honoring the 4th Infantry Division — the “Ivy Soldiers” — and Nike turned the design into a replica jersey fans can actually buy.
This page is about that jersey: the Nike 4th ID Ivy Soldier Rivalry Collection Replica. It runs S, M, L, XL, XXL and 3XL — no tall cuts on this one — and it is a new arrival, not a leftover from last season.

Shop the Army Ivy Soldier Jersey — S-XXL, 3XL
The details carry the whole story: “IVY SOLDIER” sits on the nameplate where a player’s name would go, the IV runs down the helmet, and the green comes from the ivy-covered forests the division fought through in Europe. Price at Fanatics is $149.99 while it is in stock.
Sizes, one by one: S · M · L · XL · XXL · 3XL. The replica run stops at 3XL — for the bigger Army range, the full men’s department below carries Black Knights gear in the extended sizes this site is built on.

Why “Ivy Soldier”?
The 4th Infantry Division’s nickname comes straight off its shoulder patch: four ivy leaves, a play on the Roman numeral IV. Ivy means tenacity and fidelity, and the division’s motto — “Steadfast and Loyal” — has been on the helmet and the gear since World War I.
The Ivy Soldiers landed on Utah Beach on D-Day, fought across Europe, and served in every major American conflict since 1917. Twenty-five of them have earned the Medal of Honor. That is the unit Army chose to carry into the Navy game this year.
The uniform also wears a Sept. 11 decal, marking 25 years since the attacks. Army’s tribute uniforms are the best tradition in the sport, and this one has a real argument for the top spot.
Sizes, Translated
This jersey is labeled the regular way, but the full set of equivalents is worth knowing when you shop Army gear across stores:
- XXL = 2X = 2XL = 2XB
- 3XL = 3X = 3XB
- 4XL = 4X = 4XB
- 5XL = 5X = 5XB
- 6XL = 6X = 6XB
- XLT = XT = LT
- 2XLT = 2XT
- 3XLT = 3XT
- 4XLT = 4XT
- 5XLT = 5XT
So the top of this jersey’s run, 3XL, is the same size other brands print as 3X. If you wear a 4X or a tall size, the Army men’s department button above is your door — the Black Knights range there runs deep.
Interesting Facts About the Ivy Soldiers
Army picks a different division to honor every Army-Navy game, and the reveal video is a national event now. Past uniforms have saluted the 82nd Airborne, the 10th Mountain Division and the 1st Armored Division.
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. — the president’s son — was a 4th Division brigadier general who led the first wave onto Utah Beach on D-Day, knowing the landing had hit the wrong stretch of sand and deciding to start the war from right there. He earned the Medal of Honor for it.
This year’s game is Saturday, December 12. Our Army and Navy big & tall page covers both academies in the full extended-size range, and there is a youth Ivy Soldier jersey page for the kids watching with you.

Is this the same jersey Army wears against Navy?
