One of Notre Dame’s unique football traditions happens each spring. Each Friday before the annual Blue-Gold Spring Game, the release of “The Shirt” is made as the tens of thousands that flock to campus to treat their football fever. Each year thousands upon thousands of “The Shirt” are sold in all ages and sizes as proceeds benefit Notre Dame students in a few different ways.
Usually a former star player or the current head coach helps unveil “The Shirt” on the Friday night before the spring game as part of something that has almost become a ceremony. With the spring game cancelled on the world taking countless precautions in the fight against Coronavirus, this years unveiling was held just like the vast majority of our work meetings anymore: online.
See the shirt below and if you want you can purchase it here.

Version 31 of “The Shirt” is now available for all to purchase. Here’s to hoping the 2020 football season will get here soon and we’ll all be packed in the Joyce Lot on a Saturday morning enjoying brats, libations and some college football while watching thousands of folks in “The Shirt 31” walk by.
