Something that may not be apparent from the pictures:
That netting effect on the helmets is painted on. It is not a shadow.

I think they are all the same color. It may just be the lighting they used for the pics.

Interesting that the patches are not facing the other direction like on the normal military. Just an observation.

Would be nice to see a good game, can care less who wins.

From watching the video, it looks like the undershirts even have some meaning.

I thought I saw different nick names from different WWII groups and battalions on the back.

Really awesome! I may watch just cause of how unique this will be and hopefully they share more of the history during the game.

Oh sweet! I just was using the ones listed at http://beatnavyuniform.com (In the Regimental Pocket Patches section, you can scroll through them)
I assumed those were the ones that they would be using on the uniform during the game. I don't know if they meant for it to be a comprehensive list or not.

The one you linked to is a pretty legit patch though. Thank you!
