November 15, 20177 yr Isn't this the tribute to Rockne weekend? Throwback heklmets with a 1920-30s look Yes and guess what! Us fans are not the ones wearing them! I do not know why people cannot just let the players get pumped up and do their tribute to Knute Rockne
November 15, 20177 yr Author Isn't this the tribute to Rockne weekend? Throwback heklmets with a 1920-30s look I understand the idea but those look about as 20's-30's as I do, either the decade or the age. Over/under on how long it takes for the paint to come flying off during the game...Go!
November 15, 20177 yr Love these uniforms guys! A nice throwback to Rockne and some very creative orginality!
November 15, 20177 yr Why oh why do they always mess with the helmets!!?? Don't you feel like the regular gold we have is a few ticks to bright compared to the actual golden dome?
November 15, 20177 yr The only two things I like about the Rockne uniforms are... 1) The interlocking ND. I liked it so much, I put it on my phone wallpaper 2) The fact that it doesn't look as bad as the puke green monstrosities from last year

HAD to watch my Fighting Irish! Do I dare look up the uni’s from last season that u refer to?

The helmets from this year are awful. Throwback to the 20s and 30s? We are already there, we barely throw forward passes so what the heck? All we have to do is implement segregation in the stadium and it will be like Back to the Future Part 4.

To each his own I guess I'm not a fan of the color nor the ornate font and stenciling (like 2014)
November 15, 20177 yr Isn't this the tribute to Rockne weekend? Throwback heklmets with a 1920-30s look It's also the last game for the seniors. Poor bastards. Notre Disney at its worst. In their last game they have to wear those ugly helmets instead of their golden helmet, the best helmet in college football. Stupidity by whoever comes up with this stuff.
November 15, 20177 yr To each his own I guess I'm not a fan of the color nor the ornate font and stenciling (like 2014) I like the helmet. There have been few of the gimmick outfits that have really been good end to end. I think there were a couple of Shamrock series uniforms I really liked, but they generally seem like they are just over done. I think there is a way to do throwback without looking hideous, it just doesn't seem like ND does that very well. But then, these are my eyes and it really needs to be eye catching to recruits and boosters.

I think there is a way to do throwback without looking hideous, it just doesn't seem like ND does that very well. But then, these are my eyes and it really needs to be eye catching to recruits and boosters. to be fair, I can see why ND doesn't do throwback alternatives very well. It's because ND's current uniforms ARE throwbacks haha. We're still rocking the classic look so when we do alternative uniforms, they're overdone to compensate for the simple look of the regular uniform (I'm guessing) Oh, to add to the things I like about this uniform. I actually dig the brown shoes hah
November 16, 20177 yr Author Evidently these were announced back in August, I didn't catch it at the time. It was part of a whole throwback uniform and they don't look *as* bad here:
November 18, 20177 yr Author I can't see why they couldn't just do a brown paint with maybe some gold flecks in it and the same stripes. Maybe even a thin layer of brown leather over the existing helmet with the same pattern. I mean, IMO these are kind of a lazy attempt at a "throwback" helmet. I won't care in the end if ND kicks their butts though.
