The US Flag Code very clearly states that Old Glory is not to be used as part of an athletic uniform.

Yet it keeps turning up on them again, and again, and again.

Party pooper.

That is the First Navy Jack, not the National Ensign.

I don’t see “Old Glory” anywhere there. There are several other flags, particularly involving varieties of the Gadsen, that use the red/white strip motif. I think there’s even a Naval flag that does.

Does this make a difference?

"The Army–Navy Game is an American college football rivalry game between the teams of the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point, New York and the United States Naval Academy (USNA) at Annapolis, Maryland. The USMA team, the "Army Black Knights", and the USNA team, the "Navy Midshipmen", each represent their services' oldest officer commissioning sources. As such, the game has come to embody the spirit of the interservice rivalry of the United States Armed Forces."

That isn't exactly "Old Glory."

The uniform is based on the first Navy Jack, not the National Ensign:
