Notre Dame unveils 2023 edition of The Shirt

Right on schedule as usual.

Just in time for the Blue-Gold Game, this year’s version of The Shirt is here. Notre Dame fans tend to wear green whenever they attend a sporting event, and this year’s Shirt reflects that. So here it is in all its glory:

As always, half of the proceeds go to The Shirt Charity, which raises money for students with unexpected medical expenses. The rest of them go to student organizations and clubs as well as the Rector Fund, which affords all Notre Dame students the opportunity to have the full university experience no matter where they are financially.

The Shirt goes back to 1990, when the charity was established to fund activities for Notre Dame students. It has remained a staple ever since, and it consistently sells extremely well. You don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to show your Irish pride and help the students of the university. Get it before it’s gone!

Watch: Notre Dame unveils Shamrock Series jerseys in ‘Hangover’ salute

Watch the three…er, two best friends that anyone could have get their jerseys.

You surely have heard by now that Notre Dame is playing this year’s Shamrock Series game in Las Vegas. That also means it will have a different look when it faces BYU on Oct. 8. The unveiling of the special jersey for this game has become as anticipated an event as the unveiling of The Shirt, so it only makes sense to treat it as such.

Since the game is in Las Vegas, why not make the announcement in a parody of “The Hangover”, perhaps the best buddy comedy ever set there? Well, that’s what happened, and here’s the resulting beauty:

No, none of these guys are going to win Academy Awards for acting anytime soon or probably ever, but that’s not the point here. [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag], [autotag]Michael Mayer[/autotag] and [autotag]Isaiah Foskey[/autotag] definitely are believable as a trio you would want to hang out with. To have [autotag]Mike Golic[/autotag] and [autotag]Mike Golic Jr[/autotag]. play the heavies while also referencing 1988 makes it even better. Makes you want to have your own Las Vegas adventure, doesn’t it?

Notre Dame fans now can get The Shirt for 2021

It has arrived.

A simple name like The Shirt doesn’t sound exciting, but it definitely is for Notre Dame fans. For over 30 years, the release of The Shirt has represented another step toward the new college football season. It traditionally is released ahead of the Blue-Gold Game, which will return one week from now after COVID-19 wiped out last year’s game. Right on schedule, the 2021 edition of The Shirt has been released, and you can buy your own here:

As always, proceeds from The Shirt will be given to The Shirt Charity, which benefits Notre Dame students. Even with the end of the pandemic in sight, there are plenty of Notre Dame students who could use financial help after everything that’s happened over the past 13 months. The reasons for that help vary, but this definitely is a time for the community to come together for a great cause. Why not support this cause and look stylish for the upcoming season at the same time?

Notre Dame Football: An Announcement Involving “The Shirt”

This year however things will be a bit different in regards to “The Shirt” being unveiled.

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.

It doesn’t seem very important in the wake of Coronavirus crippling the world and seemingly putting everything on hold but it’s another custom we’ve grown used to that will he done a bit differently this season.
