Hawaii Pearl Harbor Military Appreciation Uniform
The Hawaii football team will take the field in special uniforms that were designed to honor the 80th anniversary of the attack at Pearl Harbor and are dedicated to the 1941 UH football team, which saw its season come to an end.
“Inspired by the untold story of the 1941 University of Hawai'i football team who went 8-1 during their season. As great as their season was, the team showed their true special character during the month of December as the team started in on their remaining games against the powerhouses of the west coast, Willamette, and San Jose State in the Shrine Bowl Classic. The day after the big win over Willamette, the events of Pearl Harbor started, and the college football players ended their weekend enrolled into the armed forces as sentries/watchmen stationed at the nearby high school. With games canceled and their minds on the safety of the islands and the United States, the team showed that they were more than just students and football players, but proud members of the country and would do anything asked of them to protect it. This Strategy Uniform is dedicated to that 1941 team and all those lost in the events at Pearl Harbor 80 years ago.” -Hawaii Athletics
The uniform features a special numeric font that was inspired by the 1941 team uniform. Stars on the shoulders of the jersey represent the unity of America during that time. Running down the sides of the pants is the quote "…Will live in Infamy" referencing the famous quote, from the days after Pearl Harbor that memorializes the fallen. The final touch comes on the right hip with the date of the attack at Pearl Harbor.
