Not expecting much of a change for the home/away jerseys. Although UA is known for putting a little logo or team name right above the numbers on the front. Maybe we could see Irish or a shamrock ala the early 2000s? Would rather they kept them how they look now.

Really looking forward to the SS jerseys though.

Thanks, old pal old buddy! Preciate the IQ! Got to stop reading your post first thing in the morning.

(Tired of picking my ass up off the floor.)

You guys still barricaded in? Or did the highly motivated testicular-removing resident relent?

we got out. turns out there was a sweet bingo game going on in the afternoon. However, I have since removed all scissors.

Ah yes! Bingo, the opiate of the aging masses! Removing sharp things are great, except if they are lodged in you! Best of luck! Hope you get hazard pay!

I know someone will post a poll after the Shamrock Series jerseys are revealed. Where should the over/under be set on liking/disliking percentage on IE?

I'm thinking 65/35 for like/dislike? And if UA goes much higher than that, they really hit it out of the park. If they go much lower than that, poor first attempt to do something cool with the brand?

I want a standard, albeit arbitrary, to judge the reception of the UA uniforms. Anyone interested?

I think (was it last year?), when Kelly advised fans to look at it as a once a year thing, like Halloween. And how the kids liked it, I think that actually shifted the paradigm.

Maybe if you want to divide ND fans in two groups, you could get a better idea. If you look at the young at heart, younger, and progressive fans, you need an 85 percent rating to claim a home run. But I think if you go over 50 with the Mirilax group, you have done the most awesome and impressive job!

I'm glad they didn't try to get cute, although I wouldn't have minded a very minor alteration somewhere (besides the serif font change).

hard to say if they did or didnt with that picture. Remember last years had the fabric design up around the chest and shoulders that couldn't be seen unless camera close ups etc.

My guess is changes were to be minimal anyways and they got to go free on the SS.

They look pretty good for a modern jersey. I miss the days when guys used to where half jerseys or jerseys tucked into their pads.

Badass:
