What is the "uniform surprise"?

I agree with the sentiment of your post about the NFL and TCU and whatnot, but the ND shamrock uniforms don't scream "military" to me. I wouldn't have even noticed that if you hadn't pointed it out. I think they're hideous and absolutely inappropriate for the venue, but they don't fall into the faux patriotism dynamic in my eyes.

Understood. The stripe position looks like military origin to me, as well as the monochrome with most military uniforms are known for.

The ND uniform has similar stripe design elements (albeit a bit more less prominently displayed) - for example, the horizontal bands and the location of the stripes on the chest are similar to historic military designs.

I actually like these uniforms. They aren't the ugliest SS uniforms we've had.

Not a big fan of any SS unis, especially when they mess with the helmet. Keep it simple with the green jersey (kelly green preferred).

Warning .. rant coming.

This looks like a military uniform, which I do not like. Also the solid green is MEH. The stripes are modeled after military insignias. I always liked mixing in two primary and a secondary color on football uniforms, and do not like the monochromatic military look that the NFL and college are pushing now.

Also, I hate the TCU grey uniforms this year. Football does not equal military, the kids are not going to war they are participating in athletics. The blatant military advertising that the NFL has been wearing in honor of Veteran's day is going too far, imo.

If the US is having trouble recruiting for the military, maybe its because you don't pay young kids enough to fight in wars most American's don't believe in (according to the various recent polls) and don't want to pay for. Stop using sports to condition Americans to support the military, that association needs to stop!

Next thing you will see military occupying most team's sidelines to 'protect' Americans from terrorist threats to condition Americans to accept a police state.

Horrible uniform last night. Can we all agree to forever ban the fkn green from the wardrobe, especially versus BC? The karma gods do not like green jerseys.

How many of the 11 national championships were won in blue and gold?

I typically am for an alternate uniform. Those were fuckin ugly. Not a single thing about them I liked.

That's pretty cool that this group doesnt want their names on the jersey. My buddy said ND should come out in the green jerseys...I slugged him.

It has been so easy to get completely behind this team and pull for them. Team 127 will go down as one of my favorites.

Not to be out done by Nike and Jordan Brand moving into football, Adidas apparently will be releasing a Doggy brand.
