Notre Dame Switching to UnderArmour

[Chamellion]

Those Navy helmets above are the best I've ever seen.

Honestly, how do we not dominate with Jesus on our side?

The Lord works in mysterious ways. Perhaps it's His way of keeping us humble.

 

[Johannes]

The Dallas Knights uniforms from Any Given Sunday. Hideous. What color is that, puke?

But honestly I think an ND uniform featuring a cross could be a great look if they kept it simple. Plain green jersey with a large gold cross on the front, gold pants, gold helmet, unadorned knee-high green socks... or all the same with navy jersey & socks.

As we've seen for the last few years, though, the temptation to slap various logos, emblems, and stripes everywhere is too much for anyone in charge of designing the Shamrock Series uniforms. Not too say they look bad, just too busy for my taste.

Those are awesome, straight awesome.

 

[IrishLion]

Those Navy helmets are my favorite helmets of all time, never to be surpassed. That's how you do something "new" while keeping it "traditional."

After watching this and seeing them compare the gold on the cleats to the helmet, I kinda wish UA would've done a color match of the helmet gold for the cleat, but maybe ND wanted to keep it proprietary. Would've looked even better IMO but I like them nonetheless.

Completely agree. Extremely well done, not ostentatious but perfectly executed in flash and class-factor.

He's actually more of a Brazilian soccer fan....

Looked pretty damn close to me.

+1. All the colors match. Thank god.

With Adidas, there were different tones of blue and gold in the cleats, jersey, gloves. Looked tacky.

So I'm assuming that is 270 hours til the reveal? 11 days?

And I still can't get over how silly Dayne Crist looked in that size Youth Large jersey. What a disaster. I pray to GOD UA nails this.

 

[NCND]

I just want all the "golds and DARK blues" to match across the board.. gloves, jerseys, pants and cleats.

It could have been closer, but I don't think you'll be able to tell since they reside on opposite ends.

 

[Irish8248]

He did say the light changed the color on the shoes and its.the same gold when looking at it in person... so that may be due to the material of the cleat but it would suggest UA kept the colors the same for everything

 

[irishfan]

I was confused by this for sure.

Let's hope, I'm ready for some pre-season excitement!

if its day's then that is April, spring game??

 

[Irish8248]

Could be the countdown to a permanent 3rd jersey... Green is no longer a bowl game option!



Emphasis on the could lol

Coming in late on the cross conversation, but I think it would be kinda cool to do a small cross up close to the collar on the back of the jersey. Pay honor to the foundation of the university and the symbolism of bearing your cross would be pretty neat yet not over the top.


Overall I really like the description of the SS uniform and the helmet sounds awesome.

 

[koonja]

I'm a Christian like a lot of people on here I presume, but I strongly believe a cross on the jerseys is a really bad idea and should/will never happen.

Yeah, let's not have any religious influence visible in our uniforms. Oh wait...

The colors blue and gold [or gold and blue] are the colors of the Virgin to whom Notre Dame (her very name) is dedicated. There are various heraldic emblems symbolic of the Virgin Mother of God in addition to the colors blue and gold (or as heraldry has it, azure and gules).

...

The University’s Gold and Blue colors were not only associated with Mary, the Queen of Heaven, Father Sorin’s “guiding star,” they were also the royal colors of King Edward, St. Edward the Confessor, the patron saint of Father Edward Sorin -- founder of Notre Dame and St. Edward’s University. Father McAvoy said it so well: “To have a history is to have a name and the richer the history the more glorious the name.”

I am sure the bold is accurate, but I think it's unfortunate. ND is a private, Christian university after all.

The Spirit of Notre Dame

Having a subtle tribute to the Universities roots that no one in the general public, let alone most ND fans know about (I didn't know of the meanings behind the color) is one thing.

Having the most recognizeable religious symbol in the world put on the jersey is totally different.

 

[GoldenDomer]

But a Celtic cross on the Jersey. So if people get mad we can say it's an Irish reference.
