You curve them to your liking…it’s not hard. I’m not a flat brim guy either.

I may be an idiot, but every time I’ve tried this, the cardboard in the bill ends up with noticeable ridges that look like shit.

I was a fan of the backwards flat bill look in college, like a true white dude-bro. I got some out of storage recently while looking for some stuff to show my son, and decided I should curve the bill on my Montgomery Biscuits hat and wear it out to show the kids I’m still cool. Then I ruined it trying to bend it.

Then I just went and bought a ND UA hat with a bill already curved.

I like UA merch for the most part as a fan but as far as what is best for the program overall, not thrilled. We could use and nice boost and this summer has not gone great recruiting wise. This would not be it.

Being an MLB fan, I’ve always had a New Era fitted (or Sports Specialties from back in the day) hat and never had a problem forming my bill. Hard to explain how I do it on a message board but I’m sure you have a buddy who‘s adept at it or there’s always YouTube!. I can’t stand the flat bill and I think the original idea of that was so folks could form the bill to their liking before kids just started wearing them flat like they just came out of the box.

Spray water on the bill and put in a cup over night is what I do. When it dries, you can flare it out as much as needed if it's too rolled for your liking. My cousin did that....damn rednecks have some good ingenuity

one option I’ve used successfully in the past is curving the bill to where each end touches and then turning the crown inside out & pulling forward over the bill securely. Leave it that way overnight and you should be good.

I fu**ing hate the UA hats.. and frankly Jordan or Nike would have done better with the apparel too..

I really hope they don’t stick with them.. It will be very disappointing.

Main issue I have is the fit of the apparel. They always seem small...its annoying. At least with Adidas, I knew that XL would be consistent

Seems like a foregone conclusion they stick with under armour. I think that is a huge mistake. public opinion of them has never been lower. I do think this will have a negative impact on recruiting as well. This just seems so par for Notre dame’s leadership at this point

I honestly don't give a shit how UA or Nike fits on your heads or bodies. But,

When it comes to supplying Notre Dame, it needs to be Nike.

Sounds like more and more smoke of it being UA again. Can't imagine it'll be a long deal.

I have 2 really cool old school logo ND UA shirts that I got I think maybe 2020, fit great. They need to come out with more of that and the freeman stuff. I like UA but perception wise they should’ve gone elsewhere.

I hope we don’t stay with under armor. We need some new fresh looks. I think if we stay with under armor it will make for bad contract.

ND will screw this up. This admin isn’t serious about making the right moves. If under armor give them the most money they’re taking that deal, regardless of what the hell recruits think.

The freeman stuff is an illusion. He looks good in it because he’s fit. Once the same stuff is available to general public it won’t look as cool. If BK wore it nobody would be asking. I know a guy that buys all of Mark Wahlberg’s Municipal stuff. I don’t have the heart to tell him it’s not the shirt.
