Air force football - APLS
ANY PLACE. ANY TIME. ANYWHERE.
The 2024 Air Power Legacy Series (APLS) uniforms are based off the Air Force Special Operations Command. They have a number of key elements highlighting areas of the AFSOC mission. The helmet features the official emblem of AFSOC. The back bumper of the helmet highlights AFSOC's motto, “Any Place, Any Time, Anywhere.” A sticker on the back of the helmet highlights the Air Force Special Tactics logo with a lightning bolt, green feet, and dagger, representing the “First there, that others may live” community. The front bumper of the helmet features the Special Tactics Combat Control motto “First There.” The jersey name plate on the right chest features each player's name. The right sleeve is adorned with an American flag, while the left showcases one of three different badges representative of Air Force Special Tactics. The red swoosh on the jersey and pants, along with the red outline in the numbers, are a tip of the cap to the scarlet beret worn by Special Tactics Combat Controllers. On the back of the jersey will be AFSOC in the traditional nameplate. The pants will feature a dagger, a symbol of special operations, on the left leg and the Special Tactics Combat Control motto “First There” on the right leg.
