These were the first new uniforms that the Irish wore for one of those neutral site home games known as the Shamrock Series. The folks at Adidas also must have spent months putting together these uniforms as they used the same green jerseys from the previous six years, kept the shamrock from the Michigan game earlier that fall and just threw it on a shiny helmet. Poor effort to spruce up an otherwise good look.
At least the Irish rolled, 45-21 over Maryland.
Grade: D+
