OT - adidas Notre Dame Uniformz
adidas just released their latest iteration of Irish uniformz to be worn October 5 when Notre Dame plays Arizona State in Jerryworld. To be honest, I think these look alright, though I bet it's going to be hard to see the numbers.

and repetitive of what's on the shoulder.
August 5th, 2013 at 10:59 AM ^
You're spot on, like they ran out of ideas. They probably should have left the shoulder with #'s or their ND logo.
EDIT: They'd then have to change the sleeve. In general though, i'm surprised they went with white pants.
August 5th, 2013 at 11:02 AM ^
The better to see in HD when they p!ss their pants as Lewan leads a power sweep left.
August 5th, 2013 at 11:15 AM ^
is this offtopic? Lewan makes everyone p!ss their pants.
I'm more surprised ND will wear white after Labor day. Big fashion no-no.
August 5th, 2013 at 11:33 AM ^
I didn't downvote you, but it was probably because ND won't be wearing these against Michgan.
August 5th, 2013 at 11:13 AM ^
Probably should have put an ND there somewhere. Also never been a fan of completely leaving out your school colors (one of the biggest problems I have with Oregon's uniforms). There should be some blue in there somewhere.
When I think ND, I think blue and gold. I see this uniform, and I think South Florida or Baylor
The Baylor Shamrocks. Playing in Texas.
Oh well. It's Notre Dame. Who really effing cares?
[Edit. - "Who cares?" sounds like criticism of the OP. And that's not what I mean. We should sort of care, because however adidas ruins Notre Dame's brand is a bellwether for Michigan. Or it could be. Never, ever underestimate the pull of adidas' "template" concepts.]

Compared to last year's Shamrock series, these are amazing. Win for ND. They still get gold helmets at least.
These helmets should be plain. The regular gold shamrock on sparkly gold helmet looks stupid, especially next to the shimmery gold shamrocks on the shoulders.

Like the top picture, but the Shamrock on the shoulder is way too big and the helmets should just be gold.
August 5th, 2013 at 10:40 AM ^
it looks very plain to me, which I understand is attractive to the ND (and our) fanbase, but alternative uniforms should be interesting (or draw on the past, which this could do) and this is very vanilla.
August 5th, 2013 at 10:52 AM ^
I understand the commentary vis a vis "alt unis should be more interesting than that" but in certain situations less is more. Ithink this is one of those situations.Sure, it's not the Maryland Oregon set, but its a pretty big departure from what ND has traditionally worn.
These get a thumbs up from me.

adidas really loves the "writing on the undershirt sleeves" thing huh?
August 5th, 2013 at 10:59 AM ^
August 5th, 2013 at 11:17 AM ^
kinda like the writing on the undershirt sleeves...
August 5th, 2013 at 10:41 AM ^
I think these are pretty nice overall. They are better than any alternates that Adidas has ever made for Michgan.
I disagree. I thought our UTL uniforms were better than these. The stripes on the shoulders weren't too bad (actually kinda cool when looked at from above) and the M on the front was pretty awesome. These ND jerseys aren't bad at all, but I feel like the helmet shamrock is unnecessary and the shoulder shamrock is meh. But better than our white alternates for sure.
August 5th, 2013 at 10:42 AM ^
I like it. By far the best uniform (besides the traditional) that they've put out there in the last 3 years.
August 5th, 2013 at 10:46 AM ^
but I'm never a fan of the writing on the under-sleeves. Always looks tacky to me, just too much going on with that
August 5th, 2013 at 10:50 AM ^
August 5th, 2013 at 10:51 AM ^
Given what we have seen from Adidas in the past, I would say these are actually not terrible
August 5th, 2013 at 10:52 AM ^
Needs MOAR adidas logos

if they wore these to play in a november out door game, so that they would look totally grass stained and mudded up at the end. would make for some cool before and afters.
August 5th, 2013 at 10:59 AM ^
August 5th, 2013 at 11:02 AM ^
Not a fan of the helmet shamrock, but the uniform itself is OK. Those gleaming whilte jerseys will pick up a lot of grass stains, though. What? JerryWorld's grass doesn't stain? I stand corrected.
August 5th, 2013 at 11:03 AM ^
those look pretty sweet to me. the all white seems to work and the gold nubering is a great move, IMO.
the helmets are cool and the shamrock I could take it ot leave it, but they pull it off alright.
August 5th, 2013 at 11:06 AM ^
The only think they messed up was the shamrock on the shoulder. That should be a GREEN shamrock with that shiny/aluminum texture to off set the helmets and the numbers.
I wouldn't mind if we wore out home UTL 1 uni's for this game and this game only. Nothing new, the exact same one (with better rip-proof technology).
Every other game just stick to our usual uniforms.
August 5th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
These ND unis are for ND - ASU. I don't know what they will do for UTL II, if anything.
I also would not mind if we wore our UTL I unis for UTL II as well.
August 5th, 2013 at 11:07 AM ^
August 5th, 2013 at 11:09 AM ^
August 5th, 2013 at 12:28 PM ^
I think these will be like our Outback bowl unis - they look cool up close, but in a game setting in a stadium they lose thier impact and are hard to see.
August 5th, 2013 at 11:24 AM ^
Not all that bad, actually. I would have kept the regular helmet, though.
August 5th, 2013 at 11:25 AM ^
August 5th, 2013 at 11:42 AM ^
to model new uni's. They always look good on the WR's and RB's........Just wait until the big boys and their dunlops wear them. That is a true test of an all white uni
August 5th, 2013 at 11:44 AM ^
P.s. leave your email and I will email you.
August 5th, 2013 at 11:55 AM ^
Umm shoudn't they have chosen a different number? LOL

It's ND. Who cares what they wear?
August 5th, 2013 at 12:37 PM ^
August 5th, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
...this design will be proffered.

(Score: 1,000 Normal)
If our band had any guts, er, sense of humor, they would stand up and play the Chicken Dance when ND takes the field for UTL II.
That would be wonderful. Standford's band might even admire that move.
This is amazing photoshop. Can you teach me?
