Cracks me up how big the shoulder pads were in those days...my days.

Those shoulder pads were bigger because it was big boy football back then.

Bring back these unis. The good ole days.

Good ole days? I guess it depends on how old you are! lol

Those tops. These pants.

White helmet without the ND would look pretty sweet.

I'm sure most wont agree, but I really wish we busted out the green unis more often. I know we do the Shamrock unis once a year, but I'd love to see the classic greens once every year or two. Or even wearing green numbers and socks with the white unis on the road.

If they don't do green jerseys with the "Red Sox font" spelling Notre Dame or Irish across the jersey this year, the entire university should be shut down and the ground salted.

I doubt they'd accent it in red, and that's fair, but gold would still be beautiful.

does Ryan Grooms have kids? I bet he shows them the packaging months before their birthdays so they have no idea what presents they are getting.

He seems to be a pretty good guy. Before a game he let my kids in on a little extra tour. Totally above and beyond. He seems to relate really well to kids.

My thinking too... He's the guy that puts up the Christmas tree on Halloween, puts all the presents under the tree and watches the kids sweat it out for 2 months. A level of cruelty rarely seen in today's world.

I like the most recent pants too. They are true to the official pantone. I still say the UCLA pants below would look best with the current helmet.
