Army’s “Ivy Soldier” Game Football Honors the 4th Infantry Division
Army’s tribute to the 4th Infantry Division extends beyond the uniform with the limited-edition Nike Vapor Elite “Ivy Soldier” game football. Handcrafted in the USA by Big Game Football Factory, the ball brings ivy camouflage, green accents and custom insignia together in a design honoring the division’s “Steadfast & Loyal” legacy.
The Nike Swoosh leads the look, featuring a Four Evergreen Ivy camouflage fill outlined in bright green. Set against the brown leather, the graphic connects the football to the military-inspired palette of Army’s 2026 Army-Navy uniforms.
Green pebble laces and stitching carry that color throughout the construction. White overlay stripes provide contrast, with green stitching framing their edges and tying even the smaller details into the overall design.
Below the Swoosh, the “4TH DIVISION” lettering includes a distinct nod to the unit’s identity. A contrasting “IV” stands out within the word “DIVISION,” highlighting the Roman numeral that inspired the Ivy Division nickname. It is a subtle piece of typography that rewards a closer look while keeping the division’s name central to the presentation.
The Army Athena Shield receives its own ivy treatment, with green leaves surrounding the familiar helmet-and-sword imagery. Paired with the 4th Infantry Division insignia, the badge connects West Point’s football identity with the soldiers being recognized.
Established in 1917, the 4th Infantry Division has more than a century of service behind its name. This football carries that history through a focused set of details, using the ivy imagery and coordinated green finishes to extend Army’s tribute onto the equipment at the center of every play.
The limited-edition Nike Vapor Elite Army 4th ID Ivy Soldier Collection game football is listed at $174.99 through Big Game Football Factory.
