Report: Army to re-adopt Cadets nickname
Danny Wild-USA TODAY Sports
Army fans with "Black Knights" gear can consider it all to be throwbacks.
The program is reportedly ready to re-brand itself as the Cadets, doing away with the Black Knights nickname, thanks to a new deal struck with Nike, Nick Bromberg of Yahoo Sports reported.
The service academy formally made the nickname change, from the Cadets to the Black Knights, official in 1999.
The Nike deal will also bring a new logo and uniforms, all to be formally revealed on April 13.
