I've come around on this. Think it could be a great move.

So have I. From what I've read they were really willing to make us a priority. Which I think can only be a positive. They are clearly an innovative company and if they are willing to invest time and resources into our program to make us one of their marque names, I'm all in.

This is why I think ND chose them.

I think its a great move. For basketball that might be a little interesting but for football it looks like we will be the priority. Great news

Awesome. So new uniforms for the 2014 season?

So to me thats the most interesting part of this. So, we make this change. It would make sense to have them come up with something that allows them to make their mark. However, I'm not so sure we move that fast on completely changing what we have. All in all I have no idea but it will be interesting to follow.

Correct our contract with Adidas is up at the end of the school year.

Great! i was under the impression that we had one full year left.

hopefully staff uses some new designs on the road recruiting the stretch.

Such an awesome move.
This makes US the flagship school for that company, and gives them even more exposure. Instead of us being mixed among all the schools Nike has.Win-win.
Can't wait to see the new uniforms.I've never been a fan of Adidas.

One easy change I would love is the removal of the HUGE brand logo above the numbers on the collar, and the return of the ND monogram there. It always bothered me that the adidas logo was front and center on our jerseys. It would be a simple and classy way for UA to show that it is prioritizing ND's brand over (or alongside) its own.

All in all happy with this change. It'll be nice to be the biggest fish in a smaller pond than Nike would have offered.

Wonder if they'll do the ND or a leprechaun on the visor, similar to the UAAA game visors. Not sure if I'd like it (I have a feeling I'd hate it, actually), but I'd be curious to see how it looks.

Doubt it, any type of reflective visor is not allowed per NCAA regs

I don't know how I feel about this. I think change is exciting, but I've come to absolutely love our uniforms the past two years. I hope UA doesn't change much. Especially the pants color, which I think we finally NAILED last season, and the addition of the captains' 'C.'

Well they work for Notre Dame, Notre Dame will decide what they are wearing. I expect minimal changes. I think the helmet will remain identical as it's through another company.

I am glad to see the logo move from the center to the left chest. I also didn't like the "adidas" under their logo. It didn't look simple enough and I think the Under Armour logo looks much cleaner:
