with the game being in late november might it not be better to hold off on the release to say early november and then try hit the christmas gift buying season then?

If you hold off to November and Let's say ND drops 2 or 3 games, the excitement will be gone.. As a marketer, you need to release them when interest is highest and that is always in fall camp

Those are sweet...... Sure it really only has an effect during intros when lights are dimmed but man... It's pretty damn cool
It's cool for Oregon and their gimmicky shtick, but if ND ever tried something like that I'd shit a brick.

I'm glad to be a fan of a team that has traditional uniforms (hate the gold cleats) .

Yes please.

My favorite helmets of all time, which I'm sure I have posted before, but I will never tire of looking at them:

Straight 100 w/ ya. I saw a sailor in San Diego who had his motorcycle painted that way. Sweet.

No, those are some graphic artist' who does mock ups of possible alternatives.

I heard we should look for chrome green and white, trimmed in gold and blue to play on the Irish / Celtic tradition of Boston.

Something like the helmet second from the right . I'd use the leprechaun to tie into the Celtic mascot.

Don't forget, BC is a UA school too so they will get something flashy too... or so one would think.

Unless they go the throwback route, which I think would be most appropriate for the venue.

The shamrock unis from a few years back were a good take on a throwback... the white J's with the duel green stripes...

I think that was the game against Michigan in 2011, not a shamrock series game. I hated everything about that game except the jersey. They looked nice.

I liked the jerseys they wore against USC in 2007 too.

The ND / UM games of '11-'13 were the "Under the Lights" series games. The green shoulder pad striped jersey with green letters was from '11. Both teams were Adidas then and they had their hand in marketing the "series".

You are right... in fairness I have tried to forget everything about that game aside from the unis...
