The uniforms are the same blue color as the Blue Angels flight suits, and they feature the U.S. flag on the left sleeve like Blue Angels pilots wear in the cockpit. The number font is inspired by the numbers of the tail of the F/A-18 Hornet, the aircraft that the Blue Angels have flown since 1986. The Blue Angels performed their first demonstration flight in June 1946. The hand-painted helmets, which feature six F/A-18 Hornets in delta formation and chrome face masks to mimic the visors worn by Blue Angels pilots, are especially sharp.
