The Notre Dame Fighting Irish posted some videos and pictures from one of their “photo shoots” that they use for the jumbotron on gamedays. One of the biggest eyeopening sequences was an all-gold painted player.
Not exactly what I had in mind for Notre Dame’s alternate uniform this year... but you do you Under Armour. #golddust pic.twitter.com/y88bH3rJut

Yes, it was a joke. I’m 100% positive that these aren’t going to be alternate uniforms for Notre Dame in 2019. At the same time... a Reddit poster pointed out something underneath the gold paint that is quite interesting.
ND painted a player and jersey for a “Forged in Gold” promo. Obviously not a real jersey but found it interesting to see “Irish” under the neck like the early 2000s. Maybe coming back? Maybe a hidden alternate jersey under all that gold? from notredamefootball
So, there is an “IRISH” patch on the front underneath the collar. As interesting as that is... it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense as far as a new jersey for 2019. That’s not to say that it wasn’t from a yet to be announced alternate uniform for 2019, so I suppose it’s still a possibility.
It could have been added just to stand out for this video. Maybe it’s just for the white jerseys? It’s not as if it is on any of the jerseys during the rest of the photo shoots which were all done with the blue jerseys.
To answer the question at hand... I don’t really think there are any changes coming, but I suppose the possibility is there.
