What is the "uniform surprise"?

[NDdomer2]

I think as used on the field, they're fine.

If the Irish come out of the tunnel at Soldier field vs Wisconsin in navy & orange, trimmed in gold you Nancies can complain but to co-brand with the Yankees makes sense. They have a huge regional alumni base within a two hour drive, the birthplace of the term Subway Alumni started there, the Yanks colors are navy and white - two of the 3 colors used on every standard ND uni plus the Yankees are the only sports team in America that compares historically to ND as original "America's Team's". So ND isn't co-branding with an unequal. The unis have navy, white and gold so not much to b!tch about.

The helmet is ok but interesting they chose matte. The Yankees only use matte batting helmets on the road. I would have gone with the same gloss finish they wear at home but whatever.

Now as far as buying a replica? Nope. The pinstriped sleeves on the civilian issue doesn't translate. Some of the other items are pretty sharp though.

You guys better hope they never play at Comiskey, cuz UA's only a gold trimmed number away from converting these beaut's!

I pretty much agree with this. Do I think they look good, not exactly. But calling in on location of game/stadiym makes sense honestly. Does it for other locations, prolly not.

Would be glorious if BK is the asshole he is in part 2 and just says "No".

So stoked. Just got my jersey for Saturday nights game in the mail... 3.5 years ago.

I am as well, but that green is probably too old old school I suspect it will be brighter green.

The question is, will they come out in green for warm ups or will the change right before the game. Changing right before the game would get the crowd amped as there are plenty who won't have seen the clip and will get all tingly and excited like NDC.

 

[shortynd01]

I'm thinking it will be a camouflage green of some sort for a tribute to Veterans Day. It also seems that ND has more camouflage apparel for sale than normal years on its website.

 

[Rack Em]

ND is going to look like a bunch of fucking idiots if they wear green and lose (again).

There will be no Green Machine alt's. I am not stoked for what's already been released and Camo on Veterans Day would have been really cool but the reason you are seeing more camo from ND is most likely because of the UA deal. Kevin Plank's business history is rooted in an affiliation with the military.

Unless this is the biggest decoy in marketing history, this is what you're getting:

The surprise is that the pants are gonna be green, too.

Basically the SS jerseys from '15, minus the cool striping.

 

[NDohio]

It doesn't matter what the players wear. What matters is that I will still be wearing my green, unwashed polo that I have worn for every game this year...

 

[PANDFAN]

when i saw this on twitter last night it didn't come as a suprise.....i kept getting alerts from fanatics at the beginning of the week about green jerseys being in stock...and as crus pointed out...those are the uniforms

 

[BobbyMac]

I vote for these in the 2022 National Championship game:

The Bus looked like a super hero in those pads.

Wait, are the pants actually green?

I'd like to see the next SS uniforms be of the Stormtrooper variety... White out, head-to-toe.

I think a white ND helmet with a gold facemask and gold interlocking ND would be most dope, especially with super minimal gold and green accents everywhere else.

Perhaps green numbers with gold outlines, and that's the only green.

I was at that Sugar Bowl. One of the best games I attended.

I’m with Cru... I’ve been saying for years those were my fav ND alts ever...

Sieg Heil?

No, I meant in honor of the *true* empire:

Locker room picture seems clear it’s green jerseys, blue pants with green belt, and white socks.

I know what you meant, but you were talking about SS uniforms being of the stormtrooper variety. You were one first pound on a podium away from taking Poland.

I see gold pants in the locker room picture

Ahhhhhhh I see what I did.

My apologies, mein fuhrer.

 

[IrishLion]

Update: The game pants might be blue?

There are gold pants in the first picture, but there appear to be blue pants hanging in the lockers. Maybe they're just the standard gameday pregame attire, but it's more fun to think about totally alternate uniforms for senior day.

 

[Rocket89]

True, looks like the first picture might be before they set things up nicely? The other photos look like blue pants (possibly base layers?) with no gold pants anywhere.

Blue pants it seems.
