Five stars to represent the five branches of the U.S. military will be featured on the right side of the cap, stitched on the right sleeve of the jersey, and sewn across the socks. 
The homestand concludes Sunday, when pre-game ceremonies will include a flyover by a C-7 Caribou, two T-6 Texans, and a T-34 Mentor from the Cavanaugh Flight Museum following the National Anthem.
