Air Force Academy is adding a little bite to its football uniforms this season.

The Falcons unveiled on Twitter Sunday their new helmet, called the airpower legacy sharktooth helmet. It features a shark’s face that’s reminiscent of the nose art made famous by the Flying Tigers on their P-40 fighters during World War II.

Air Force athletic director Jim Knowlton tweeted out a photo of the Flying Tigers legacy uniform that will be worn, as well.
