No. 15 Notre Dame takes on Boston College this Saturday and will be honoring the 1988 national championship squad by wearing throwbacks as a nod to the last title-winning team. We at FIW would be more excited about a different throwback being made starting Saturday, but we won’t be holding our collective breathes.
If you missed it when they were announced back in August or just simply haven’t seen them for whatever reason yet.
Here's a closer look at what Notre Dame football will wear on Senior Day vs Boston College on November 23rd.
"The Fighting Irish will wear a throwback uniform dedicated to the 1988 national championship team."

They’re Notre Dame’s nod to 150 years of college football and are done pretty well. I wish they’d do the actual old-school jersey and not just impersonate the mesh but understand why that wouldn’t so much fly these days. They’re close enough to the first football jersey I ever owned (shoutout to Ron Powlus and Champion brand) so bring some nostalgia for even me who was far too young in 1988 to remember anything about that championship.
Do you remember all of the alternate uniforms the Irish have worn in the semi-recent history? If not we’ve put them all together for a refresher and give a letter grade on each of them.
