The Notre Dame Fighting Irish today revealed the uniform they will wear during the Nov. 17 Shamrock Series game against the Syracuse Orange.
Here’s our initial reaction, Jessica’s prescient prediction that the uniforms would polarize the fanbase and Joshua speaking for the majority in declaring the New York Yankees inspired threads to be “awful.”
Here is how the reveal went down today on Twitter:
The Fighting Irish.

The @Yankees.
Two Iconic Brands.
One Uniform.
One Night.
Yankee Stadium.

Usually I’m in the camp that likes Notre Dame pushing the boundary on these jerseys.

These are in the discussion for worst uniform ever in any sport. They’re as bad as the Futuristic MLB unis from the late 90s https://t.co/AHkzFhERxl

Pinstripes on both the sleeves, gloves and pants replicate the iconic @Yankees pinstripes that have been worn for over 100 years by the Bronx Bombers. #GoIrish ☘️ #ShamrockSeries pic.twitter.com/CzuivKjJMA

The Notre Dame/Yankees uniforms are going over as well as 41-8 against Miami did.

Notre Dame just made those stupid, not well done photoshop jersey swaps you see on Instagram a reality.

Major Programs like Notre Dame succumbing to the Uniform grab is sickening. Say whatever ya like, I’m a “get off my lawn guy” when it comes to History & Tradition. It’s still the currency of CFB. There’s simply no excuse other than greed for programs of such ilk. #Pathetic

Silver Lining: At least Notre Dame wont have to worry about fans buying this Under Armour trash from players like North Carolina / Michigan and their tight Nike gear

So...again...tell me how this is the synthesis of "two iconic brands"?
— Jude (@andrewwinn) August 16, 2018
Every element on this jersey comes from the Yankee except the monogram.
Notre Dame is playing dressup as the Yankees. There's no argument against it.#NDFB https://t.co/VMHvmh0YzV

Just seeing the Notre Dame/Yankees uniforms. In a long list of bad ND unis, those are embarrassing.
— Chris Vannini (@ChrisVannini) August 16, 2018
bruh, notre dame went 4-8 in 2016 and caught all the shade (deservedly), then improved to 10-3 in 2017 to quiet the shade.
— mike taddow (@taddmike) August 16, 2018
notre dame can go 12-1 this season but will still catch super shade all season long for these used diaper-ass yankees uniforms smh
The Notre Dame football uniforms are the byproduct of a bunch of guys who look like this trying to do something “cool and hip for the kiddos”. pic.twitter.com/GWgNR3qm7o

I think the baseball pants are what truly make it looks like a 9 year old kid's half-assed attempt at a Halloween Costume. https://t.co/k0lEu47bC3

*whispers* the Notre Dame pinstripe jerseys are fine for one game.

Notre Dame messed this one up imo.
— hiSEAN808 (@Oahu_Raider808) August 16, 2018
Kinda confused ... only way you like these is if you're a Yankee fan right? It just looks strange to me, like who you're branding it more for The Yankees & baseball than for your own school & football?#GoIrish #ShamrockSeries https://t.co/toJZsoBDPw
tOSU fans are banding together to support someone who allegedly covered up spousal abuse, Notre Dame fans are calling for someone to be fired over uniforms that will be worn once. #WhatAWorld

— mike taddow (@taddmike) August 16, 2018
Absolutely SICK! I hate teams having a million uniforms, but if you are going to change things up, have a legit plan and theme. @NDFootball coming STRONG! https://t.co/UytKiPr9py

Im not worried about what uniform #NotreDame football wears against Syracuse.....I'm wondering if they will have enough wins on November 17 to have a chance to be a playoff team.

The line of the day on these unis comes from our executive producer Tom, "Notre Dame not wearing gold helmets is like the Yankees not wearing pinstripes." https://t.co/wOyExs7Mgy

@NotreDame how much money do alums need to donate for y’all to not let the football team wear those hideous uniforms in the Shamrock Series?

I'm a fan of these. When it comes to speciality jerseys, you go big or go home. Unique look for Notre Dame for their latest Yankee Stadium game. https://t.co/3qUQpVddev

If I wanted to see pinstripes, I'd go to an actual Yankees game. I appreciate the effort, but those unis and Notre Dame go together like barbecue sauce on a Communion wafer. https://t.co/NayvXOA2lx
