An Important Tweet from Notre Dame's Equipment Manager

Those Michigan jerseys are uglier than homemade sin and disorienTATING to boot. Who is going to buy and wear a 1959 throwback jersey that is ugly? The 1959-alums-that-buy-throwbacks is a small demgraphic, I daresay. I hope ours come out better.
Mouth

There is at least one visible yellow (maize) stripe visible on the sleeves. After that it fades into the darkness. My guess is that it will look as the jersey available to buy.

If the ND jersey is as you describe, sounds cool to me. So long as it at the end of the UM ND game they are covered in grass stains and ND finishes on top, they will be the best looking jerseys I’ve seen in at least two years.

Mouth,

Someone did a photoshop of that jersey on Denard. It doesn’t look as bad on the field.

Alex,

You see a stripe on the sleeve? You have Superman eyesight my friend.

“doesn’t look as bad on the field”? Murtaugh I just realized that I’ve never seen you in person. Did you graduate college when they were playing with leather helmets? How else could you make such a claim?

That isn’t terrible.

I’ll hold off on more opinions until we actually see the real uniforms from both teams. But I will say, that I generally like stripes. And even though I would have done the striping a little differently, at least there is a method to the madness.

To me, this is so much better than the random and seemingly pointless piping we see on so many uniforms these days, including Michigan’s current road white jerseys.

PC crap. Keep our present look and just win the games.

Sadwarrior,

I’ve never heard anyone describe wearing throwbacks as being politically correct. What does that even mean?

Also, the present look was changed in 2010. And 2003. And 2001. And 1997. And 1994. And 1987. And 1981. And 1977. And 1964. And 1958.

Get the point?

That jersey isn’t terrible. Without the zig zag stiching on the M, its better than alot of other throwbacks I’ve seen. Now when they gonna do something about that gawdawful helmet of theirs?

Very interested in seeing how ND’s turn out.

Little known fact, Alex. Those silly rednecks up in Michigan actually—get this—they actually like their helmets! I know, right, what a riot? They think that it’s their “signature look” or “calling card,” if you will. I say this without ever having spoken to a Michigan Man, as those cannibals and visigoths are not known to be an overly friendly bunch. “Surly” is their baseline. I also offer the caveat that no Michigan has yet mastered—or gained even a cursory understanding, for that matter—the use of multisyllabic words such as “signature” and “calling.” They prefer to grunt and gesture about “Bo” and “Lloyd” and other such nonsense.

I’ll say that the large logo with the small number is interesting, though somewhat reminiscent of exponents, and I prefer literature on the weekends. Leave the algebra for the weekdays.

For those of us that are twi-illiterate, what time is ours coming out? I assume that Murtaugh is on this.

MotS,

I’m not 100% sure, but I think both uniforms will be unveiled inside Michigan Stadium.

There is no news from Notre Dame or und.com about it, but Michigan has said they will stream the event live on their site.

I don’t know if that means Brian Kelly and a player or two will be there or what, but I think Michigan and Adidas are hosting the event (as the game is being played there) and they will somehow unveil the Irish jersey as well as the Wolverine one.
