What say you about a green jersey with blue numbers with a white outline and our brand new helmets? Or maybe a blue jersey with green numbers with a white outline and our brand new gold helmets?

I was thinking of ways to accommodate every color Kelly mentioned.

I'm not saying that those are going to or even have a good chance of happening, but now my mind is turning. Dang you, Brian Kelly.

Why are you concerned with the when? About 6 o'clock.

In retrospect, that is an odd question on my part, isn't it? And I'm not drunk.

Lol no worries, I was just curious.

Apparently the new texture is something that NO ONE has done before. NOT EVEN OREGON. Basically what Ryan Grooms said in the ICONN video

Irish: 1 Donald Ducks: 0

I feel bad for college gameday. MSU vs. Wisconsin? Yawn.

Why can't I see this?

- The new paint process is not in the skill set/capabilities of student managers.

They should bring in the equipment and teach the managers how to repaint them every week.

Jake Golic: When do we get to wear these?
Ryan Grooms: This Saturday against USC
Jake Golic: THATS GUNNA BE NUTS!

No, they changed the background to that a while ago though.

"We're going to wear our traditional colors," Kelly said. "Last I checked, they were blue, white and gold."

Of course, he then added: "And green."

my theory lives...

 

[Irish4Life09]

Such an awesome video. NOW we know what they were talking about when saying no one had done it before.
Is it wrong for me to have a large chubby over a helmet?!?!?
It was so cool to see the player reaction.Very cool.

What if they used the same blue from this years "Shirt"? The color of the shirt is an interesting choice, and I've been thinking it will come into play this Saturday

I'll bet my alleged child that you're wrong.

God I hope not. IMO those are hideous.

Thank you, Mrs Swarbrick!

Like many of you here I was expecting green jerseys (remains to be seen), but was more eagerly awaiting the news that would equate to the "not even Oregon" rumors.

Wow. Seems like all the other commentary up to this point is still relevant, but just wow.

So many possibilities on the table still. Green version of scUM jersey? Saving our traditional green for Maryland and debuting something new? Shinny pants for shinny helmets? Gold shoes?

Regardless, with the way they scored a touchdown on those helmets, Jack and Co. have my trust.

GO IRISH!!!

P.S. So much awesomeness.. hope they are blinding under the lights!

Just read at the bottom of an espn article here:

Notes: The helmets of Irish players will feature a green shamrock sticker featuring a black "X" for the rest of the season, in honor of late team intern Xavier Murphy, who lost his battle with leukemia Oct. 11. The team will hold a moment of silence before next week's game against Navy, as that would have been Murphy's 23rd birthday and is technically the first game after fall break, which Notre Dame students are currently on. Murphy's family is scheduled to attend the Oct. 29 game. ... Long-snapper Jordan Cowart (broken hand) is cleared to play, but Kelly said he is still competing with Ryan Kavanagh and Braxston Cave this week for snaps. ... Defensive end Ethan Johnson (ankle) is cleared to play but is not yet 100 percent. He won't play his normal 50-60 snaps Saturday.

Is there any other mention of this from anywhere else other than Matt Fortuna at ESPN?

 

[Ignats]

Hamilton from the Tribune tweeted about the X on the helmets yesterday, I believe.

[gmnysdad]

I believe someone posted yesterday or the day before that they would have a green X in honor of Xavier

New Gold Helmets. Thread is over.

I have a strong feeling there's much more to it, but we won't find out until kick-off.

No thanks. Gerry Faust used "Madonna blue," and we all know how that turned out.

 

[aubeirish]

These new helmets are so sweet.

Thats what you think! There's so much awesomeness packed in this thread, it will be going in 2015!
