There are a ton of things that make college football great. Tradition is among the top and each football program and school of fans have their own.
From a far a t-shirt might not seem like a lot but at Notre Dame, “The Shirt” has grown to be as much of a part of the tradition as the 1812 Overture is before the fourth quarter.
This year however things will be a bit different in regards to “The Shirt” being unveiled.
In light of recent events related to COVID-19, we have unfortunately made the decision to cancel our 2020 Unveiling at Notre Dame. However, we will still be holding a virtual unveiling on April 17th at 6pm! More details to come. For now, stay safe and stay home! ☘️💛 pic.twitter.com/j8B9pLzehU
