Latecomer to this thread here. Sorry. Was pooping on a roof with a midget.

I kinda prefer we just battle it out. Great starting post though johnnykillz. I hope you are a writer.

Are you the next BiGIF? That guy aint bacon.

Haven't posted my opinion yet. I think we just need to come out with our normal uniforms. I just want to see them play USC in blue and gold. Not because of superstition, but because the last two times we've played them at home, we've gone green. Dark green 05 and throwback green in 07. I just want to see them in blue against USC.

I read another backstory over the summer in a book called "natural enemies, the rivalry between notre dame and michigan."

one of the biggest games ever was 1913. ND played poor in the first half and trailed. the captain (forget his name now) came in furious and said, "You're all a bunch of Irishmen and not fightin worth a lick!"

a reporter heard the tongue lashing outside the locker room. ND went on to win a close one. the headline of that paper the next day read, "fighting irish edge michigan." it started to float through campus pretty quickly and then spread like wildfire, but the university didn't make it official until the 1920s

That is what I heard too. I think its on the ND Official web-site. I'm torn on the green jersey issue. Even with the latest track record of wearing green, I think CW should leave it up to his captains.

No green jerseys! Just come out in heir normal uniforms and kick ass. It shouldn't take the color of jersey to fire up a team (and fans) for one of the biggest rivals the Irish play against!

Lou used the "away greens" against Florida in the 1992 Sugar Bowl i believe

the Jerome Bettis game......the same game that Steve Spurrier bitched that he wasnt playing a higher ranked team, and then went out and lost.

I like the idea of the green jerseys, but I dont want them to wear the green jerseys.

I'd also vote no. We aren't even ranked in the top 25. Green Jerseys should be for the BIG ones...Top 5 match ups towards end of season(in South Bend), National Title Game (wouldn't that be awesome?) ...

OK, so someone fill me in on why we can't be ready to prove our stance and show we're ready to play?

Because if we lose we eat crow? Not coming out in greens shows we deep down inside have no faith in winning. What a better occasion? Are you afraid to eat crow? I'll polish five fattie crows down along with an oatmeal stout my friends...

Confidence, get some!

We don't need green jersey's for confidence. They've also been over done. They should only come out once a decade to preserve their meaning. Next time they should come out is when we play for the NC!

I regretfully agree to disagree. Can anyone grow some balls and realize the game is won through actions, thoughts conveyed to actions, and discipline. Not through f-ing superstition.

You guys just keep on wearing those stinky boxers...

P.S., they're gonna hate regardless of jersey color peoples!

You're SOOO close. We NEED the SHAMROCK on the helmet, like Kuharich rocked it in the 60s!

I'm with you on this, S-Rock. "Simple and subtle" is underrated, under appreciated and over looked.

I draw the line at small ass-cheek shamrock tattoos. Simple, yes. Subtle, yes. Stupid, definitely yes.

But that's just one pain-and-permanent-scarring-averse wimps opinion.

Hell, a simple one-two pass of air-sprayed green paint with a shamrock stencil (while the helmets are already being painted pre-game) has GOT to be less expensive than a peck of new green jerseys or name panels sewn onto blue jerseys.

Gotta keep on eye on the bottom line in these troubled economic times, don't ya think?

Hey folks this is my first post and all, but I would have to agree that we should bring out the blue jerseys to start and if we are within striking distance switch to the 05 Kelly Greens at half, JMO

It would be cool to switch at half, but again I don't think we've earned it! Love the name though Condom-hilarious!

I like the 05 ones, yea even though they were not "Kelly green” I though they looked sweet. But honestly if I see us bring out anything other than the blue and gold I will probably start to cry.
