HONOLULU – The University of Hawai'i football team will don special Pearl Harbor-themed uniforms for this week's Military Night game against San Diego State, Saturday at Clarence T.C. Ching Complex.
 
The special uniforms were designed by new apparel outfitter adidas in honor of the 80^th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and are dedicated to the 1941 UH football team, which saw its season come to an end.
 
Inspired by the untold story of the 1941 University of Hawai'i football team who went 8-1 during their season. As great as their season was, the team showed their true special character during the month of December as the team started in on their remaining games against the powerhouses of the west coast, Willamette, and San Jose State in the Shrine Bowl Classic. 
 
The day after the big win over Willamette, the events of Pearl Harbor started, and the college football players ended their weekend enrolled into the armed forces as sentries/watchmen stationed at the nearby high school. With games canceled and their minds on the safety of the islands and the United States, the team showed that they were more than just students and football players, but proud members of the country and would do anything asked of them to protect it.
 
This Strategy Uniform is dedicated to that 1941 team and all those lost in the events at Pearl Harbor 80 years ago.
