For a while, there was doubt about whether Notre Dame would match its fans for the annual “Irish Wear Green” game against Louisville. Part of that has to do with the fact that the university never officially released images of the uniform combination for such a game. Those doubts can be put to rest now.
[autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] has announced that the Irish will indeed wear green jerseys against the Cardinals, a decision he indicated earlier in the week that he would leave up to the captains. There’s no telling exactly how long that decision-making process was, but it’s been completed.
Although we don’t for certain right now what the uniform will look like, Blue and Gold Illustrated has learned that the green jerseys will be worn with white pants along with the usual gold helmets.
The Irish have an all-time record of 41-13-1 when wearing green jerseys, splitting their first two such games under Freeman.
The hope is the Irish won’t repeat what happened when they wore the jerseys last season. They came agonizingly close to upsetting Ohio State, only to hamper themselves by having only 10 defensive players on the field when the Buckeyes scored the winning touchdown with one second left.
