What is the "uniform surprise"?

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

But there isn't anything on that list that didn't happen. What's the big deal?

It's akin to you getting a promotion and inviting me with all of your other friends and family. I then say, "Congratulations on the new promotion. Let's not forget about your affair three years ago, how you've been an absent father and you have a drinking problem. Would everyone raise a glass with me, to CHIDomer's promotion!"

Perhaps I should take a break from the site, the shit over the last 5+ days has worn me out.

Ha. They still are "mustard /old gold".

Maybe it's the lighting but they look more gold than mustard to me.

Maybe it's the lighting but they look more gold than mustard to me.

I'll judge when I see them in the field. I love the simple bold look tho.

 

[ACamp1900]

In the pics they def do not look like the mustard pants from last year.

They're dope as eff.

 

[NDdomer2]

really like the uniforms. do not like the color of the helmet.

 

[dublinirish]

haha i love it. that baselayer like something a Doge of Venice would wear or sth

 

[koonja]

Like the helmet, first impression of jersey are OK, don't love them.

 

[tussin]

[JughedJones]

I'm gonna go ahead and say that shit is dope.

Sick. Love the helmet.

 

[ndfi78]

Over all I like them, the stripe down the middle of the helmet is not great though. Looks to B1Gish.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Those sorta suck. Broke a cardinal rule by putting identical logos on the helmet and shoulder.

 

[NDdomer2]

now that i have witnessed the close up of the helmet i understand why it seems a darker shade than the gold on the uni. Really like what they did this year.

Not my favorite of the series but not the worse either.

 

[gkIrish]

I can't think of one thing I don't like about those.

This.

I want to see the uniform more before I make a final judgment. Love that baselayer though and I like the helmet too.

Agreed. Love the way they tied in the Dome and its mosaic.

It's like Plank said in the video:

"When you look into a uniform, it's one thing to just say 'what are your colors,' slap it on the jersey, and let's go. Give me a story."

And then it shows the Post-It note on a picture of the Dome asking, "Is there a story here?" Pfft. This is Notre Dame. If you can't find some significant aspect of this University's storied history to tie in to the uniforms, you didn't look very hard.
