Agreed. I dig the pants and helmet.

I wouldn’t mind slight changes to the jersey though. Mix it up every few years between the monogram on the sleeve and tv numbers.

I've always liked the road unis better. Something about the white that delivers the uniform. I was happy to see the mustard come back. The gold pants don't have any pizzazz. I wouldn't mind having these as the regular roadies or at least in the rotation. Maybe substitute the jersey with the one Sam is wearling.

Are you familiar with the actual school pantone color? Not being sarcastic…our color is not vegas gold. plus the vegas gold pants are basically navy, georgia tech, florida state, boston college and about a half dozen other teams.
Someone forgot to fill Holtz in when we were winning championships. Just a much crisper look imo.

Thats got to be due to the types of lighting being reflected off them, right?
Yea I think it’s the LED but also television cuz during the bowl game they had field level camera where it looked great cuz even during the day the helmets don’t look how I know they do in person

I can’t believe there is a contingency that doesn’t like the mustard pants. They’re a great color, they have a uniqueness to them, and they don’t clash with the helmet. It’ll be a sad day if the mustard pants ever go away.
Totally agree. To me these uniforms are THE ND look. Yeah, there could be a tweak here or there, but only small tweaks. Totally changing the pants color is a bad idea in my view. The "yellow gold" pants they have with the metallic gold helmets (golden dome) is the way to go.

I think this look phenomenal but it doesn’t look like this enough on TV. Also not sure if anyone else noticed Pat Coogan’s helmet was a completely different shade of gold for most of the year.

Helmets need to stop looking like this during night games, during Navy game in Dublin they looked great

Believe it's because of the lighting at ND Stadium, and nothing having to do with the helmet paint.

TV numbers are gross. But playing with the monogram isn’t a bad idea. Layered with a shamrock some years, or even the dome (like used to be on the collar). That might be something cool.

Br

Bro I posted this laughing to myself right before going airplane mode for a 3 hour flight to west palm.

I wouldn't wear New Balance if I didn't have to.
Nike (or anyone else) doesn't have very many options in 12 4E.
I just feel grateful NB has stepped up their game lately.

Sir, these are fighting words. I will see you at the Irsay YMCA!
Cargo shorts are functionally superior to other styles of pants, that's all men should be truly concerned with.
My Goodness man…. It’s like I don’t even know you anymore….😆😆
