The internet roasted Notre Dame's Yankees-inspired alternate uniforms
Notre Dame football unveiled its alternate uniforms for the Syracuse game at Yankee Stadium this season, and they're… they're something.
The Fighting Irish will play Syracuse in the "Shamrock Series" on November 17, and, somewhat appropriately for the location, their players will be wearing pinstripes. Except that these Under Amour uniforms are actually not great and a stark contrast from the team's stunning throwback alternate uniforms from last season.
See for yourself…
The biggest surprise with these uniforms is the helmet, veering away from Notre Dame's famously gold color in favor of mostly black (maybe it's a very, very dark navy blue) with a small circle of pinstripes with the school's logo in it.
The helmet is, in this writer's opinion, actually the worst part of the uniforms because of how strongly some elements of the design clash with the others. But that doesn't mean the jerseys are fine, because they're definitely not.
Nothing about this uniform looks like it was intentionally put together.
It's like a Project Runway challenge where designers are told to make football uniforms out of the floor scraps of jerseys past, and this is what they came up with before eventually getting booted off the show. The gold, the blue, the black, the pinstripes - blech.
The cursive "Notre Dame" on the front is OK.
Overall, they're certainly not the worst alternate uniforms we've seen, but they're hardly worth getting excited about. They just look like baseball uniforms, but still mediocre baseball uniforms.
As you might expect, the college football world had some thoughts about these, and people didn't hold back.
