Army unveiled its new logo and unforms Monday night as part of a rebrand that also includes a different name.
The school now calls itself "Army West Point." Here's the reasoning why:
The United States Army and West Point are indivisible. To separate the Army from West Point is to take away the purpose of the United States Military Academy. Since its founding in 1802, West Point has produced soldier scholars for America. The best education in the nation hones the intellect, while the tough physical and military training creates the warrior. The Army West Point primary mark perfectly portrays the soldier scholar ideal. Athena's helmet symbolizes wisdom while the sword represents the warrior ready for battle. Soldier Scholar. Army West Point.

A report last week said the school was going to drop its "Black Knights" nickname in favor of "Cadets." Instead, both will be used and are showcased on the wordmarks on the redesign website.
Academy athletics teams are now Army West Point not Army or West Point. Primary nickname Black Knights. Secondary nickname Cadets.
