As the Navy’s tally of consecutive wins over Army has increased, so too has the Navy’s excitement leading up to the annual football game.

This year’s “spirit spots” are more numerous than ever, and even the Midshipmen’s uniforms have gotten a boost in Navy pride.

Here’s a look at some of the Navy pride making its rounds on the Internet:

May the 14th Be With You: When Midshipman Leia is taken hostage by the U.S. Military Academy, Midshipman Luke and friends must rescue her.

West Coast 3-Stars Hit The Road: Vice Adms. Tom Rowden, Mike Shoemaker and Nora Tyson pack a lot of gear to roadtrip to Philadelphia for the big game. BZ to Vice Adm. Rowden for the Naptown Funk reference!

Ray Mabus: “Don’t Be Like This Me”: The Navy Secretary spoofs DirecTV ads with a faceoff between the real Mabus and Army-fan Mabus.

From the Top of the World, Go Navy, Beat Army: Sailors from USS Seawolf (SSN-21) near the North Pole cheer on Navy football while giving a shoutout to former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert.

Greenert Pays Homage to Naval History: Here’s a throwback to last year’s CNO spirit spot, with Greenert going waaaaaay back with his uniform.
