Stadium Renovations, Uniform Changes

[OhioIrish31]

Din't Sprint used to help ND with a lot of promos for game day? Maybe they can pick up the green shirt bill since ND can't afford it, it seems

And if it's cold out maybe they could supply everyone with a Green jacket.

how about all buff?

Back in the early 70s, the student section had a running joke of "Win one for the stripper!" which involved actual stripping.

My only issues for the most part have been there (prime areas). Corners and EZ have been fun and without issue. I used to get a lot of tix from my father's buddy who was the prez of one of the ND alumni associations. They were prime, and surrounded by BHs. It was great sitting there (view) but really sucked from a fan perspective. Usher's back then were pretty militant lol. That was a long time ago. Now I get prime seats every once in a while from a friend's family, and very similar but not as bad. I wish they'd build more skyboxes and put all the BHs in them. I've been to several big time stadiums, and ND is the only place I've ever had to worry about that shit.

I haven't been to a game in about 2 seasons. But the last few I attended I made sure to get tickets in the more 'fun' sections. Typically the ones in the EZ or corners there were more 'fans' than observers.

Am I missing something? I've been checking around online on the website, social media, etc. and don't see anything being promoted by the University for a green out.

You didn't get the memo? Koon accepted a job in the promotions/marketing department for NDFB

I’ve not seen anything and I was getting regular emails about it for the scUM game.

Is this an official ND account? I still haven't seen any emails and there's nothing on the ND site. Koon behind this? lol

 

[ab2cmiller]

There has been nothing from any official Notre Dame twitter accounts. There has been nothing from BK.

This means that the Stadium will be lucky to be 50% green.

Koon needs to get busy and call BK and Jack if he wants this to happen.

No it's not, the green out for the Stanford game is a grass roots effort, nothing more.

Everyone should help push this movement, and make it a yearly thing for all big games

Looks a lot different form when we used to climb up there, but I dig it.

I would be all about ND wearing a version of the uniforms the Saints are wearing today. Gold and Navy as the accents instead of gold and black.

Nope, stuck with them until 2023 or 24.

Unless there's some sneaky wording about corporate performance in there.

Adidas CFB uni's are still trash though

My two favorite CFB uni's ever:

 

[StPaul_Irish]

I am a big fan of UA... Being a hockey/golf guy their stuff holds up, fits well and is comfy. Their apparel is higher quality then most other companies I have found. A lot of my teammates/friends are big UA guys as well. As a whole, I am confident their stock will bounce back. On the football side of things, I like the UA uniforms a lot better then Nike/Addidas. Just my opinion of course.

 

[fightingirish26]

Wish UA would make the uni's we had in the BC game last year (The ones in my avi) permanent, aside from the fake mesh. The color of those pants plus the white socks were A+.

^^^^This! The yellow tone of our pants the past couple years just isn't ND gold.

My two favorite CFB uni's ever:

the UCLA tire thread Uni's (which ND had too) were absolute trash and openly ridiculed by CFB fans. Those things need to burnt with fire.

They've been trying to bounce back for years... Doesn't seem likely.

Their clothing hasn't changed in years. Shoes are atrocious. Never see middle school/ High School kids wearing Under Armour anymore.

You want to know who gets tire marks on them? Bitches getting run over.

Doing uni's for ND and UCLA...and other traditional type schools has to be the easiest thing ever and people have a way of fucking it up

I like UA, wear it for all my golf/ workout gear, Nike is a good second choice. I use to wear all Adidas but switched over to UA, only Adidas I wear is soccer cleats.

It isn't?

I thought a read a long release that pointed toi the fact the new pants are in fact the correct pantone? I like the new pants and helmet if nothing more than I know who's who when I'm drunk and they're playing Navy.

My observations are a bit skewed because I live in a golf mecca but UA Golf is much more accepted than Nike/Adidas here. Oakley & Puma might be more widely worn than the big two. And it translates to kids here. That said, when I'm back in the Midwest, very little UA unless it's the form fitting, workout shirts that they are known for.

As far as shoes being atrocious... Whose aren't? Every shoe is trying to out-ugly the next going back to the Jordan 8's. I used to be able to Foot Locker and find a current, team model low top basketball shoe in white with a (pick a color) logo. Now every shoe looks like clown-wear. So I have to wait for Nike to re-release Converse Dr. J's lows every so often or build AF1's on Nike ID to get a grown up basketball shoe. Truth is, a quality pair of Wilson/New Balance tennis shoe is a better shoe for basketball than the garbage they force down our throats. You'll never turn your ankle again.

the UCLA tire thread Uni's (which ND had too) were absolute trash and openly ridiculed by CFB fans. Those things need to burnt with fire.

Absolute trash is if I don't like them, and I love them. But I'm not one who cares much about uni's except this, this would get my vote for absolute trash:

Indeed, this is the correct way to watch ND play Navy. Too many close calls and frustrating, clock-eating drives to ever endure that game sober again.

 

[fightingirish26]

I liked the tone of the pants for the BC game, but I don't mind the pants we normally wear. The hill that I will die on however is the white socks with the home uni. That is an absolute must, black or navy blue doesn't cut it for me.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Imo, the UA uniforms are better than the Adidas.


However Adidas apparel for me is far superior.
Their golf shirts fit me perfectly, and their shorts are amazing. They have Adidas in the waistband that's made of rubber and it keeps your shirt from untucking.

I've been a Nike guy my whole life, but Adidas won me over two years ago and I'm not looking back.

Adidas- Golf gear and t-shirts
Nike- sweat pants
New Balance/Adidas- shoes
