As we rapidly approach the end of the academic year, congratulations are in order! The midshipmen have once again shown excellence in their moral, mental, and physical pursuits. They’re now preparing for summer training or (in the case of the Firsties) their commissioning into the naval service. We are excited to bid them fair winds and following seas. But before they go, here are some great Real Navy gifts you can send them off with—gifts they will be excited to receive and proud to wear or display.
Let’s get started!
A midshipman can never have enough Navy gear to help them show their pride. From flags to cups to hats and more, Navyonline.com has the gear that will get them going!
Rambler: Everyone needs a practical and good-looking beverage bottle to stay hydrated when out and about. This 20oz M&NE Yeti Rambler has a beautiful deep blue navy hue, punctuated by M&NE to honor the mechanical and nuclear engineering department, one of the most popular departments on the Yard. They’ll love the look and the heft of this Yeti.
Hat: Give them this authentic N* Wrangler Cowboy Hat made with 100% straw raffia, and they will wear it for a lifetime. Nothing says fun and functional like a cowboy hat. It even has UV protection to keep the sun at bay. Grab one today for your favorite midshipman.
It’s always fun to show off your Navy pride wherever you go, and you may just find some other Navy families along the way. Navyonline.com has t-shirts, shorts, pants, and more. Check out these new items that are sure to fly off the shelves!
Relaxed Pullover: This Bailey Pullover is relaxed and ready for action, with good looks to boot. It features a unique rib knit fabric in sunny yellow with side ruching for a flattering fit—and the Naval Academy logo to show off their favorite academy. They can throw it on over jeans, shorts, leggings, or the like for a cute and comfortable outfit full of Navy pride. Go Navy!
Structured Pullover: You can also get the Navy Anchor Women’s Collared Pullover for a more polished look. It’s great for nights out in Annapolis or on the Yard, as well as sporting events and other fun functions. Available in navy and ivory, it’s hard to pick just one! With the anchor logo, it’s the perfect way to root for Navy all the time.
Sweatshirt: The Eco-Fleece Navy Crewneck Sweatshirt is super soft and treads lighter on the planet. It’s a midweight tri-blend that includes recycled polyester for a smaller carbon footprint. As pretty as it is practical, this vintage-inspired crewneck is also available in Rose. This sweatshirt makes the perfect gift for your midshipman.
Every purchase you make on Navyonline.com, at the USNA Midshipmen Store, and at the USNA Gift Shop supports the midshipmen 100%. You’ll help fund extracurricular activities like musical arts, theater, music, club sports, and more! When you give your midshipman a gift from the Yard, you’re giving to the entire Brigade, too. Have fun shopping for gifts your midshipman will love, and have fun showing love to the entire Academy. We thank you for your support!
