Notre Dame goes TechFit October 6th
Adidas and ND announce new TechFit alternate uniforms for the October 6th game at Soldier Field against Miami:

Adidas basically paid for all the Athletic Renovations we're experiencing now, so this fall/winter when we attend B-Ball games and Hockey games, thank Adidas for opening up the wallet

Ugh, get rid of the Two Toned helmets, and the stripe off the pants and its a decent look. The blue side of the helmet really murders the entire uniform...
August 16th, 2012 at 6:44 PM ^
That helmet looks like it was designed by a retarded 3rd grader on LSD.
I mean, man, it's not even symmetrical. So much fail.
August 16th, 2012 at 7:22 PM ^
A retarded third-grader would have come up with a better design than that.
August 16th, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
I resent that.
August 16th, 2012 at 6:48 PM ^
I actually don't mind the gold portion of the helmet.
August 16th, 2012 at 11:12 PM ^
I see what you did there.
August 16th, 2012 at 6:50 PM ^
more specifically, I should say I hate the marketing people who work for these shoe companies who's only job is to fuck with things that should not be fucked with in the name of being creative.
August 16th, 2012 at 6:52 PM ^
Look bad play bad
August 16th, 2012 at 7:20 PM ^
The uniforms themselves don't look terrible. They aren't good, but it could be a lot worse.
The helmets on the other hand? No. Just no.
August 16th, 2012 at 7:26 PM ^
...this never happens to us.
August 16th, 2012 at 7:45 PM ^
Look at the unit on that guy!

I would embed the skit, but I am not good with the interwebs. That skit was hilarious.
August 16th, 2012 at 7:50 PM ^
and setting new standards in doing so. Impossibly ugly, going way out of your way to be ugly helmet.
August 16th, 2012 at 8:14 PM ^
Was that Maryland taking attention away from themselves?
August 16th, 2012 at 8:55 PM ^
The helmet kinda looks like Ern McCraken's bowling ball...and that's still the best part of that monstrocity of a uniform! I expect 4 decommits for this uniform alone
August 16th, 2012 at 9:00 PM ^
Other than that, all alternates have failed. These are amazingly hilarious
August 16th, 2012 at 9:28 PM ^
As much as I hate Notre Dame, I respect the tradition and pagentry they represent, because we are the same in that respect. Whoever decided it was a good idea to mess with ND's helmets needs to be wrapped in a straight jacket, shot full of thorazine, and put in a padded cell. How could anyone ever think that was going to go over well?
It's only a short hop from defacing ND's helmets to defacing ours. You know concepts have been tossed around at Adidas for exactly that. I'm not usually one to borrow trouble, but this blog needs to organize a torch and pitchfork session the likes of which have never been seen before if Adidas goes there. I'm talkin' nuclear torches and Poseidon's trident pitchforks.
August 16th, 2012 at 10:38 PM ^
He's getting payed probably pretty good money. Sounds like your the one fit for a straight jacket
August 16th, 2012 at 11:04 PM ^
It's "you're"... a contraction of "you are".
Used in a sentence: You're an idiot.
I await the day when the Wings are shed, "just for a game", and all of you exclaim that you never saw it coming. We have seen the writing on the wall here people. Something needs to be done, not some sort of hippie, jersey-burning protest, but a significant punch to the gut of the AD pocketbook. Stop buying these damn abominations, such a frivolous waste of money to adorn yourself with such gaudy, shoddy memorabilia. I've had the same 1993 Rose Bowl hat since I got it as a Christmas gift.

And get off your lawn?
There is a fine balance between progress and evolution like last year 's UTL uniforms and taking the wings off the helmets. The recruits and players like the variants. Problem is ND missed the balance point by a mile.
August 17th, 2012 at 11:38 AM ^
adidas could have had much more fun with this:
August 16th, 2012 at 9:30 PM ^
Thats it. If they changed ND's helmet then I am convinced that Adidas will unveil a techfit Michigan jersey where the winged helmet is changed. No doubt in my mind
August 16th, 2012 at 10:37 PM ^
Then the world will just be over. Jeezuth chriiiiissstt
August 16th, 2012 at 11:04 PM ^
The streets will flow with the blood of the non believers. - Adidas
August 16th, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
There's no giant ND with a crest number...
August 16th, 2012 at 9:50 PM ^
That was the line ND wouldn't cross....
August 16th, 2012 at 10:17 PM ^
Seriously, i keep looking at these expecting that someone will just eventually say, "Just kidding!" These are just terrible in all aspects.
August 17th, 2012 at 12:28 AM ^
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
August 17th, 2012 at 9:23 AM ^
I had heard somewhere that they put real gold flake in the helmet paint. Maybe since thier program is much like a late-career porn star (where they still have flashes of greatness but not anymore what they used to be and not as entertaining to watch) they dont have the fanbase or relevancy and therefore money to put gold paint on the whole helmet anymore.
August 17th, 2012 at 9:35 AM ^
I typed out and deleted 3 of them, I don't have the vocabulary to adequately describe how terrible those are.
August 17th, 2012 at 10:25 AM ^
...I'm offended. How can EMU not be the Hurons anymore, but this monstrosity is allowed to pass?
/s or not /s? You decide.
August 18th, 2012 at 9:41 AM ^
Who knew the State flag of Indiana was so ugly.
