Notice what is military about the jersey? Well just the name! It’s a Military themed jersey, but really it is just patriotic! Another example of a major sports league and team conflating the idea of being pro-military is synonymous with being patriotic.
The only positive of the uniform is they took off the tomahawk, which would be all sorts of wrong if the tomahawk was left on a patriotic uniform that has a military title.
