THE UNIFORM
[01]
Overview
The Jolly Rogers uniform design is an homage to the squadron's storied aviation history with each element thoughtfully referencing their legacy. The color blocking on the jersey mirrors the iconic design of the Jolly Rogers aircraft. A dark navy cowl reflects the squadron's tail design, prominently featuring the Jolly Rogers insignia. The collar striping directly references the classic stripe along the top edge of the aircraft’s tail fin, while the Navy wordmark is inspired by the bold lettering seen on the side of the aircraft. The uniform numbers model the aircraft side number on the fuselage and the trailing edge flap of the wings. The sleeves boast the traditional angled Jolly Rogers stripe with nine total triangles (across both the jersey and pants) symbolizing the nine different aircraft flown by the squadron throughout its history. A subtle nod to the squadron's motto, "Fear the Bones," is embedded inside the collar as a discoverable detail, while the locker tag pays tribute to the VF-84 tail fin design. This uniform perfectly blends the past and present, encapsulating the Jolly Rogers’ rich heritage and their enduring legacy in naval aviation.

THE HELMET
The helmet is a blend of tradition and modernity, drawing inspiration from both past and present. It prominently features the iconic VF-84 design with distinctive chevrons placed at the forefront and sides of the helmet, while a stripe runs along the back. The helmet’s white base coat, chosen for its reflective qualities, represents VFA-103's current helmet.
