Rank ‘Em: Recent Notre Dame Alternate Uniforms

I liked the theme of this uniform even if the final look was far from amazing.  I found it hard to read the lettering and even though the helmet was a solid effort, you couldn’t tell it was anything unique other than a different color gold unless the camera was zoomed in.

NCAA Football: Notre Dame at Michigan

The end of this game will always leave any Notre Dame fan with a bad taste as they twice blew late leads, but the look was outstanding.  It was the first time in forever you saw a logo of any kind on the side of the helmet and the shoulder pad stripes gave the perfect retro-feel and were excellent, but for some reason I was always bothered by the size of the retro Adidas logo that looked more like a patch from a bowl game.

And we’re all still in shock over how that thing ended.
