Army Football Unveils Limited-Edition 250th Anniversary Nike Vapor Elite Game Ball
In a moment that bridges history, honor, and the gridiron, Army Football and Nike have unveiled a limited-edition 250th Anniversary Nike Vapor Elite game ball, handcrafted by Big Game Football Factory to commemorate the U.S. Army’s 250 years of unwavering service and sacrifice.
This exclusive football will make its on-field debut on December 13, 2025, when Army faces Navy in Baltimore, Maryland, serving as both a game-day symbol and a tribute to the men and women who have defended our nation since 1775.
Every element of this handcrafted game ball reflects the Army’s legacy of strength, loyalty, and integrity, a tangible reminder of the values that have guided Soldiers for generations.
The Great Seal of the United States and 1775 graphic commemorate the Army’s founding, marking the moment when the Continental Congress established America’s first service branch and united the 13 colonies under one mission. The marble-print Nike Swoosh represents foundation and unity, a symbol of strength that, like marble, endures pressure and grows stronger over time. This design cue pays homage to the marble monuments and headstones that commemorate generations of Soldiers who gave their all for freedom.
Surrounding the design is a purple outline inspired by the Badge of Military Merit (the original Purple Heart), representing the honor and sacrifice of those wounded in service. Completing the look, the words “United States Army” appear in Constitution-inspired black lettering, linking today’s Soldiers to the founding ideals they swear to uphold and defend.
Crafted in the USA by Big Game Football Factory, this limited-edition game ball blends premium American leather with heritage-inspired detailing, including raised overlay stripes, white pebbled laces, and precision stitching for elite-level performance. It is a true fusion of craftsmanship and symbolism, designed to honor 250 years of Army heritage. The custom Army design highlights the Great Seal and 1775 graphic, while the marble-print Swoosh and purple outline reinforce unity, loyalty, and sacrifice. Every football includes a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring each piece is recognized as a collector’s item built with pride in the USA.
From West Point to the world, this football stands as a testament to the Soldiers, families, and generations who have dedicated themselves to the defense of freedom.
