Stadium Renovations, Uniform Changes

[greyhammer90]

Fans: All I want is for ND to win one natty in my lifetime!! Is that too much to ask?

ND: What if we put a sponsorship patch on the uniforms?

Fans: Yeah, I guess it is too much to ask…

Is the natty in the room with us now?

 

[Huntr]

I get it.. but I absolutely hate it.

Yeah, same.

I hate it, but I do understand.

I wish they made the patch gold so it blends in better, but I guess that would defeat the purpose.

 

[IrishLax]

Burn it all down. I want federal legislation banning jersey patches.

Also, SoFi is objectively worse than Chase.

Or just make the lettering white and remove the ugly rectangle.

Would still be unacceptable but moderately less fugly

Agree, wish it blended in more like Chase does for OSU.

Ohio State just inked a deal with JP Morgan Chase for $17m a year...second largest to...ND

...I see that's in the article

 

[RudyVerse]

I'm still watching every game and cheering like my life is on the line.

Chase HQ is in Columbus. A bunch of OSU grads work at Chase.

I guess the Victorias Secret patch didn’t work out

Maybe the design they were going to go with would have been too distracting...

 

[DomeFieldAdvantage]

I generally dislike the idea of it, but white and blue lettering isn’t the worst. Maybe it sticks out, but it doesn’t clash

Been a fan of this team for a looong time - seen college football change in ways that I couldn’t have ever imagined - if the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame win a football game on January 25, 2027 in the first season that there has been a sponsorship patch on their uniforms, I will cry real tears. And those tears will have nothing to do with that stupid patch.

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

My EWTN suggestion is looking better and better.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

I thought the world ended when the Blackhawks put Circa on their sweaters, yet we endured.

I will forget about this by the end of the day. Of course I will see it on Saturday's, but if we're winning I really won't care.

 

[Dale]

Yeah I actually don’t want another DL…..

 

[Huntr]

OK, this is pretty funny:

And neither will the championship.

I just take issue with the leap in logic that this is going to directly lead to a NC so it's ok. It's just greed plain and simple, and we should be annoyed with it. It doesn't mean the football team is dead to me, but the complete backbend to try and justify this money-grab by the multi-billion dollar institution that is Notre Dame is maddening to me.

 

[OhioIrish]

0/10. Fuck that. Makes me sick.

Agree. It’s disgraceful.

Can’t wait to see the Buc-ee's Beaver on a Texas A&M uniform…

I have to imagine the NIL support is tied to ND football performance and willingness for ND football to make some of its own money.

Just because everyone has billion dollar endowments doesn’t mean those are for football, and less so at ND. I sure like signing 5* trench players and don’t want it to stop.

 

[rikkitikki08]

I hate it but like most I get it, Whatever makes this recruiting momentum go brrrrr

 

[Huntr]

On another note, ND athletics had a partnership with that local credit union, Credit Union One. Guess that expired or got bought out or something

 

[IRISHbluehen]

Enough money to basically cover the rev share cap every year (for basically nothing) and yall thought we would just say no thanks? lol

That place has a SoFi sign on it now.

Bama is about to put Cooter’s Bar and Grill on their jersey!

 

[Dale]

The second worst jersey patch we’ve ever had

 

[NDohio]

It’s interesting that this is the thing that has so many fired up. I have been a proponent of athletes getting compensation for a long time, but I was very fearful of ND not stepping up and playing the NIL game to the extent that other institutions would. To my surprise, they have. With all the changes that have happened in college football over the last five years this sponsorship patch just seemed inevitable and it’s just kinda meh to me. Go win the Natty. Then spend the SOFI money to win another one. Use that money to keep the best fucking coach in college football in South Bend as long as possible.
