What is the "uniform surprise"?

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

BLACKOUT!!!!!!!

Seriously, we'll probably roll something out my son could've come up with. Real flashy and not my style

 

[Irish#1]

Not if they want my money

Your money's no good here.

 

[Blaise]

I would love Black........

Please don't tie in Yankee stuff... I hate the Yankees

Is there a rule that every Shamrock Series uni has to look like ass?

 

[dublinirish]

dear god

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Actually love these look old school and finally black

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

best one imo...not too fancy, pretty minimal

 

[arrowryan]

By far the worst ones yet

 

[irishknight35]

I can understand the theme but the execution on this one by UA looks horrendous. And I like mostly all their Shamrock Series looks.

 

[Blaise]

Don't we have the same discussion every year where we say its worst one yet all the players love them

 

[BabyIrish]

There not my favorite (probably cause I hate the Yankees” but I like the classic feel to them.

 

[NDdomer2]

Actually love these look old school and finally black

looked like a dark navy to me

 

[NDty9]

Not so sure thats black... Pretty sure thats a dark blue like the Yanks wear. Could be wrong though

 

[ACamp1900]

Pretty much, it's a one off that will never be seen again... considering all the frustrations and self imposed challenges Notre Dame football deals with if this is what bothers you as a fan then God be with you I guess.

I'm not a huge fan of these from what I can see but again, it's small potatoes.

 

[AllGoldEverything]

Not bad, but definitely not my favorite. If they were going black helmets, i wish they would have went all black with some green.

 

[Meatloaf]

 

[koonja]

Either the worst ever or best ever, there is no inbetween.

Seriously, they look fine. They're cool. Probably not my favorite, but I like them and who cares, it's 1 game and the kids love it.

 

[Irish#1]

Don't we have the same discussion every year where we say its worst one yet all the players love them

Yes, but who cares if the players like them?

I've liked most of the SS uni's, but this one is bad.

again i dont think this is black.

a navy jersey with a black helmet?

its some sort of flat dark navy i believe

Not black... Dark Navy

I hope you're right

 

[NDinMI]

Not too bad, not too great. I know they are playing in Yankees stadium, but it looks like the whole thing has more to do with the New York Yankees rather than Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Cool mix up I suppose, but I'd rather just have another home game and wear some greens or the traditional blues. According to Under Armors Instagram Tom Brady approves with an, "I love UA" lol.

 

[MPClinton22]

It's the most ND move to align ourselves with a team that's 10 games out of first place in their division and hasn't won a championship in almost a decade.

These are horrific. They're literally just a football version of the Yankees uniforms and UA abandoned any attempt to maintain ND's brand in them.

[Huntr]

One of the worst uniforms I've ever seen, for any team. It's remarkable how terrible ND and UA are at making an alt uni. This shit just isn't that hard, but here we are. Every time.

 

[dublinirish]

18stripes did like 40 uniform concept designs over the offseason and every one of them was better than this effort

 

[SoIll]

I usually like the pushing of the narrative with some of these uniforms, but I have to say.. These are bad........

Hopefully we get to see a full picture.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I'll wait to see a more complete picture but my initial impression:
