[dudesthisisthebest]

That's pretty bad

 

[rikkitikki08]

Not my favorite "the shirt".....buts its pretty alright

 

[STLDomer]

meh on the front
pretty sweet back

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Who is on it? I can't see the numbers.

 

[BurningRiver]

The design is okay, but I love the color. My favorite color for The Shirt to be is green.

 

[Nothingman]

Is that Ned Bolcar on the front?

 

[STLDomer]

Front is Bolcar
Back is Brown, Ismail, Latner, and Lujack

 

[Irish#1]

Not one of the best, but at least it's not as bad as the tan one.

 

[JD Irish]

I think it's great. Love the retro-style to it.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I'll be buying 5 of them tonight. Glad it's green.

 

[JughedJones]

It's got Timmy Brown and The Rocket?

Sold.

 

[IrishLax]

Back should've had Kelly riding a direwolf (possibly mauling a Wolverine or Lane Kiffin) with the text "Championships are Coming"

With fine print that says "unless I break my marriage pact with Notre Dame and f*ck everything up by running away with an NFL team"

 

[Whiskeyjack]

How does one rise on the heels of something?

Maybe "On the shoulders of legends, we rise to victory"? Or "From the shadow of legends, we rise to victory" (there's at least a comprehensible analogy to the sun in there).

Sounds like some underclassmen just threw a bunch of trite motivational phrases in a hat and drew them at random until he got something he liked.

They didn't make it up, committe said it was coined by the Vice President or something

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Just heard that in the video, but I couldn't make out the name of the VP who coined it (John something). No less incomprehensible because someone with a fancy title came up with it.

 

[DillonHall]

John Wetzel, just the VP of the shirt committee

 

[STLDomer]

never mind then

 

[pumpdog20]

meh, but it's probably because I'm comparing it to last year, which was probably my favorite one.

 

[dshans]

John Wetzel, just the VP of the shirt committee

I throw the full weight of my authority as Sultan of Syntax (wielding a nine pound Grammar Hammer) behind Whiskey. The imagery of "on the heels" is muddy at best in this setting.

It conjures the image of an unbroken succession that requires no "rising." The time line is off by a couple of decades in terms of what ND fans consider true, dominating success on the gridiron.

I love the color, though.

 

[irishpat183]

Cardinal and gold?

 

[gkIrish]

Green

Yup

 

[phgreek]

not a big slogan guy...in fact, I tend to ignore them...

I wish they'd just standardize that part, and leave it at "God, Country, Notre Dame" on the front with some cool Graphics...."The pride and tradition of Notre Dame Football will not be left to the weak, timid, or non-committed" on the back with some cool graphics

do that each and every year, but change the graphics and color...boom, done

Love the green, love the guys on the shirt...it'll easily be one of my favorites

This is such a great idea.

In the Realtree pattern thoguhts, maybe Mossy Oak with the title being: 2013: Hunting for a Championship.

Football 101

If you're on your heels you're gonna be on your butt!

Pancakes not championships are made out of players on their heels.

Is there any reason why we can't have some really awesome 'The Shirts'?
I mean, sure these are okay, my favorite so far being 2011's blue edition.
But with all the creativity and young minds at ND, why can't we do something just totally kickass. Like a Mitchel and Ness style. A design or graphic thats just amazing. I see graphics online of amazing art created for and about ND why can't that be put into the shirt??
Is it tradition to have boring and bland in different variations every year?

Agreed, the front of "The Shirt" is so plain, bland, and boring. The back isn't bad but the front almost makes me not want to buy it, although I will haha
