Poll: What's your favorite ND jersey combo?

What's your favorite ND jersey combo?

Mine is the home blues, followed by the new home greens, then the away whites, and last on my list would have to be the gold on gold combo. While the jerseys are cool there just isn't enough contrast there for my liking.

I think the new green jerseys are sweet. Not really sure what you mean by gold on gold jerseys. As long as we never have names on the Jerseys ever again I think they are all pretty sweet. But the new green jerseys just pop.

New green? Do you got a picture of these? I don't think I've seen them.

 

[Junkhead]

Shouldn't it be Gold on Blue....etc....??

I believe prior to Weis the green jerseys were green with white numbers, but now they have gold numbers..maybe it was prior to Ty I can't remember but I am pretty sure they have been changed recently.

 

[ojo_223]

The same ones they wore in last year's SC game and the Army game this year, right?

 

[GoshenGipper]

The old green jerseys under Ty, and Davie were Kelly green, in stead of the darker forest green that they are now. The numbers also used to be white with a gold outline, now they are gold with a white outline.

The gold jerseys have only been worn in the Blue/Gold game and they were gold, with blue numbers and writing, and the numbers had a white outline.

Cool, thanks for the pics. I dunno, those green's are growing on me.

I know from previous posts I am in the minority here, but I like the idea of gonig green full time, with a '92 Sugar Bowl look on the road. Just my opinion.

I like tradition, Blue and Gold for me.

 

[PADOMERNUT]

i bought a samardizja jersey on ebay that adidas made that is black with gold numbers, its pretty sweet, but as far as i know the team has never worn them. Still pretty cool looking though.

Well, I like the blue and gold the most, but I think that the gold on gold would look pretty sick for some away game. Maybe at Michigan State or at Stanford some year.

and they've never been in the stores either that I have seen..... so it makes you wonder.

 

[Freeman Ara]

I had never seen the gold jerseys before, reminds me of GT's uniforms, so not really a big fan. Aren't our home blues so dark they are almost black anyway?

dont abuse the tradition... once every few years is good enough for me

Considering the outcomes in the latest games that they've donned the green (USC, BC & Colorado games come to mind), I wouldn't worry too much about abusing tradition.

I definitely like the fact that Weis chose a forest green w/ gold numerals vs. the old kelly green. The kelly green didn't go well w/ the shiny gold pants, but the forest green makes a nice combo.

One thing I'd like Weis to do is suprise everyone on a road game where the Irish are prohibitive underdogs & bust out the Away green jerseys (like the ones they wore in the 1992 Cheerios (Sugar) Bowl. Those were subtle yet different.

does anyone have a pic of the white uniforms with the green numbers?

Don't know about pics, but I'm sure you could go on YouTube or find a video of the '92 Sugar Bowl & check it out. Like I said, it was real subtle, b/c only the numbers & the top portion of the socks were green (forest green) while the pants were gold & the jerseys white. Technically, it was the last time ND won while donning the green. And considering the underdog status ND had going into that contest, it was perfect timing (along w/ the Cheerios quote) by Holtz.

 

[GoshenGipper]

They were long green socks, but most of the players wore a mid length white sock on top of them, ala NFL uniform rules. They usually did the same thing with their blue socks too during that era.

It's Blue on Gold and nothing else.

green isn't a school color. i hate what chralie is doing by wearing them every year. the whole point to them was to create mystique, now that is gone. it's turning into another oregon with all the differnt combos. it makes me ill.

blue for home. white for away. keep it simple.

 

[Bubba]

I like the blue on gold, but I like it with the gold trim around the collar and cuffs. Maybe it's my TV, but I've seen some of our blue jerseys look black. I prefer them just a shade lighter so they look dark blue, not black.

ND isn't even remotely close to Oregon. Oregon has FOUR different helmets, and has around 90 different combinations they can use. Having a few alternate uniforms isn't a bad thing it adds a little variety and I think you asked the players and recruits today, you would find that most guys in their late teens and early twenties enjoy it, and wouldn't want it to go away. Even the video games have started giving the option to make alternate uniforms for created teams. As far as the gold jerseys go, I don't mind messing around and experimenting with things like that in the Blue/Gold game, but I wouldn't want to use them in an actual game.

The mystique was gone after the Fiesta Bowl debacle in 1995 vs. Colorado. ND had no business being in that game & the whole world knew it...and then the Buffs proved it. Then it was followed up w/ the embarrassing loss to BC in '02...if we only had an offense that year.

 

[Irish1]

I honestly don't see this navy being black thing. My authentic navy jersey looks navy and when i watch them play their jerseys look navy. Maybe it's because i'm young and still have my eyesight! I don't know but if the football team ever dons a black jersey......you'll know!

 

[regele1]

I like the green jerseys, but only once a year not full time. Other than that the Gold on Gold is hideous.

 

[tgolden]

blue and gold, nothing better in the world.
green and gold, love how fired up it gets everyone, and it means we're at home
white and gold. that works too.

I don't really like the gold and gold at all. It's fine for the blue and gold game or something like that, but that's about it.

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

To me, blue and gold is best, but i do like the new green look. Gold on gold... Not so much! Although I get nervous whenever we wear the green.

 

[tgolden]

when we started out so slowly against army, everyone was blaming it on the jerseys, saying they were cursed... at least that is out of the way for now.
