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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

  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.

...I'm offended. How can EMU not be the Hurons anymore, but this monstrosity is allowed to pass?

/s or not /s? You decide.
