Naval Academy Clothing: Wear Your Navy Pride

REAL Navy clothing is one of the best presents for a REAL Navy hopeful. Just because the holidays are over, doesn’t mean gift-giving has to be! Your “wannabe midshipman” can literally wear their pride on their sleeve—or their chest. 

Crew Shirt: In bold caps, the Navy logo on this classic big cotton crew makes a statement with just one word. Crafted of cotton and polyester, it’s made for comfort and durability. You can buy it in charcoal, navy (shown) or oatmeal. Your future midshipman can wear it to school, sports or wherever it is they go these days. A perennial favorite, you cannot miss with this gift. 

V-Neck Shirt: Everyone needs a good basic v-neck or two. These cotton v-neck tees are unique, with a simple script logo that packs REAL Navy power. They can be worn under layers, but they work best showing off their Navy spirit on their own. This kind of shirt goes with pretty much anything, from jeans, to leggings, to shorts. You can get it in navy, oxford heather or pink—or all three. Get one for your favorite Navy fan!

The USNA T-Shirt: Are you a Naval Academy fan if you don’t have this t-shirt? Good question. Check out the official midshipmen blue rim short sleeve tee. It’s the same one they’ll wear as a midshipman, so it’s the perfect present for someone who aspires to join the Brigade. A classic from the start, this all-cotton t-shirt is manufactured by Champion exclusively for the United States Naval Academy. It has a loose athletic fit, and is destined to become a favorite. Let them picture themselves here. 

A Personal Item: Keep Navy Close

Luggage: Everyone needs a sturdy bag for travel, and this sturdy navy blue with N* gold logo undeniable duffle bag is up to the task and then some. Its durable construction features Under Armour Storm technology, which boasts an element-battling, highly water-resistant finish as well as tough, abrasion-resistant bottom and side panels. Your Navy hopeful can use the two large front zippered pockets for easy organization, a large vented pocket for shoes or laundry, internal pockets for storage, a side mesh pocket for extras and the removable padded HeatGear shoulder strap for complete comfort. There’s a convenient top grab handle too. It’s a gift that will keep them going places.

Blanket: A comfortable blanket is an ongoing hug. Your future midshipman can snuggle up in a navy wearable hooded blanket. Plush and cozy, it’s extremely useful and always appreciated. The N* makes it even better.
