Nothing says footsbrawl like a spike-collared bulldog snarling through the woods on a fine fall day ...

I'm thinking Lou spoiler-alerted the shamrock uni's when he was "imagining" what black ND jerseys might look like via twitter a few months ago

The Miami ones are boss....

Florida... not so much...

I didn't even know there was a school named Southwestern Oklahoma State... so yeah... though by the sound of the name Bama probably has them on speed dial.

My scientific poll of Southerners has yielded 15 responses so far:
1 vote - Greatest Helmet Ever
3 votes - 2nd greatest, after LSU
2 votes - 2nd greatest, after Bama
9 votes - Where can I buy that for my camp?

Even as a proponent of the "Oregon like Uni" movement... it seems like it's getting to the point where schools are coming up with the most asinine or off the wall uni concept they can think of and running with it just to get attention…

I'm actually kind of surprised Oklahoma State hasn't used camo yet. Not sure if Nike even makes camo gear like Under Armour does but I imagine if they did, a majority if Oklahomans would really like it. Hell you can go out and see a lot of camo hats from Oklahoma and OK State here. I broadened my horizons and steered away from the home team. Lol!

i think the shop was already selling stuff with that design but nd has usually done something independent than what the other Adidas schools have done. i hope the continue to do that.

I don't think they'd have a model of that jersey on ND's website if they weren't planning on using it.

So the other day I saw that Nebraska (with the help of Adidas) updated their uniforms this year. They now have this pattern on the upper half of their jerseys:

I also noticed that Tennessee, another Adidas team, will be doing the same thing, and then I stumbled upon this: Notre Dame adidas Gear | adidas Notre Dame clothing - Notre Dame adidas Sideline Shirts

Are we doing the same thing with our jerseys?

I like it. A modern trend that really doesn't warrant freaking out about changing the unis.

For those that can't tell (texted it to my friend and he couldn't at first)

Yes. This is the one they are gonna wear. NCAA football 14 had a recent uniform update and Texas A&M, UCLA, Tennessee, Nebraska, Wisconsin and ND all had this Jersey style updated in the game.

Boooo. I hate modern tweaks on our jerseys. I'm totally cool with the have some fun once a year shamrock series deal and all that jazz, but one of my absolute favorite things about our jerseys is that we don't mess with these modern little gimmicks like piping and different colored shoulders and stripes and junk like that. Take michigan for example. Their classic unis are, well, classic. All the other stuff they do to they're jerseys looks like crap IMO.

I'm not saying I hate how this looks, I just hate that we've done something like this to our otherwise wonderful and absolutely classic college football uniforms. And for those that will tell me that the helmets are a modern gimmick, I think this is different. The helmets had been needing to be more golden for a long time. I would be fine if we altered the shade of blue like we've done in the past, but this is like putting stripes on our helmets. I probably wouldn't hate how it actually looked, but me and almost every other person here would be up in arms for screwing with our perfect, golden helmets.
