What is the "uniform surprise"?

[Jimmy3Putt]

The good news is everyone has a black winter coat! The crowd will be the right color!!

Thanks Notre Dame for not making me squeeze a green t-shirt over my parka!!!

So you don't think Oregon doesn't land more guys because of their cool uniforms?

That's their gimmick and it's unique to them in a field of 134.

I bought a green parka.

I absolutely guarantee that exactly zero recruits have ever chosen or passed on Notre Dame because we don't wear enough alternate uniforms.

I agree but it’s not about them passing because of the jersey. It’s more about how some of these kids perceive ND and maybe they get more excited and maybe one or two want to be “cool” and give ND a look because of the buzz and excitement. I don’t give a shit one way or another and think black will be silly but it doesn’t matter what I think.

Bwaahaa!

This thread was created for the day that black uniform would come
Years before we could have dreamed of such horror, we knew it was coming.
The singularity is upon us.

Black uniforms.
Neon green helmets!





I kid.

At the end of the day Captains and coaches at a minimum pick the uniforms we wear they made it to the playoffs they have the right to chose what uniforms we wear.

 

[IrishTusker]

Yikes. If this is true, we are wasting an opportunity to showcase our program in the best way in front of a big national audience. Wear the traditional home uniforms. Enough. Will OSU do this? Tennessee? Texas? Of course not.

Is this a UA thing? Who is to blame? The people who are supposed to be custodians of ND football are consistently irresponsible.

This decision was made by a marketing director at Under Armour.

No, screw that. You wear ND uniforms, and that's that. It was good enough for everyone before you, it's good enough for you.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

If they come out of that tunnel wearing black they're going to get booed by their own home crowd.

Jokes on you we don't have fans going they're all being sold to IU fans

havent you heard?

Will Notre Dame Wear Special Uniforms for College Football Playoff?

When special occasions come around, Notre Dame is not one to be shy about pulling out all of the stops to make the occasion as grand as possible. For big game

www.si.com

Notre Dame in the Marcus Freeman era has continued to try more and more different uniform combinations and no one should be shocked if the Irish come out in something other than the traditional home uniforms on December 20 when they take the field.

 

[NDPhilly]

Have a hard time believing they'd botch a uniform on such a big stage. I've liked everything so far in the Freeman era, outside of maybe Army this year.

 

[thekid33]

I don't mind alternate uniforms - but I really don't like when team's add black for black's sake. At the end of the day I don't really care as long as they win. Winning cures everything.

 

[greyhammer90]

If only Bama could get recruits. Alas, they wear boring old school uniforms.

 

[calvegas04]

Black and gold ND could be cool, don't mess this up UA!

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I heard IU will be Black and Blue - after ND gets done beating their butts

 

[NDTH91]

Worth noting these are gold and NAVY. No black in sight and we all know navy and black is a fashion faux pas!

 

[IrishSpartan]

Rally towel is gold and dark navy so I’m guessing we are doing all dark navy uni with gold/green/white numbers and letters gold helmet

 

[SoIll]

Regular season game? Sure.

First ever playoff game in Notre Dame stadium. No.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Ryan Fravel leaked this?
Isn't he a tool? lol

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

A black rally towel at night would be the dumbest thing ever lol
Gold doesn't disprove anything.

 

[BleedingGold]

I don’t give a shit if they wear plum, win the fucking game in bathrobes.

my wife is a UW grad.
I don't want purple
Lol

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

No need to fix greatness - please just wear the traditional HOME JERSEYS!

 

[irishff1014]

It's not pathetic I'm tired of the old boring uniforms we are here to win football games and impress the young recruits not impress the wine and cheese crowd.

The uniforms haven’t help us yet in recruiting. Take that shit somewhere else.
