CONFIRMED: not wearing black jerseys

Makes sense. Our guys will be harder to see at night in Black uniforms

Midnight blue would have the same affect.

Plan is to not turn the stadium lights on...and only Irish team & fans get night vision goggles?
More intricate plan than not cutting the grass...but I approve!
Victory assured, they won't even see it coming.

Hope this is a sick joke
Since when does black have anything to do with our school colors
WTF?
No joke! Coach MF just confirmed today
(no message)
No he didn't. He said they're looking at alternate uniforms. That's it
(no message)
Never heard of J5 Sports and they have fewer than 1.5k followers
I'll hold off until we hear from a reputable source.
Pete Sampson just confirmed as well. Ever heard of him?
(no message)
No, he didn't
Pete Sampson only said that MF confirmed ND would have 'new' jerseys for the game, and that MF had not seen them.
Oops

Then why not link Pete Sampson?

My son’s team has the ND unis & wear the black on black - looks pretty good BUT
If it’s black shirts with white pants - lame.
Just win baby.
Love the Irish. Hate this move. Now that wearing black instead of school colors is a tired fad, we
join in. Sad. We're not Mizzou, Iowa, Wake Forest Vandy, Iowa State, Louisville, or any number of programs that either have black as a school color or pretend it is because Nike, Under Armor or Addias sees a way to make a buck. Our school colors are what they are because they are the colors of OUR LADY. I love our team and our program, but this decision sucks.
Valid points

If the players are all in with it, then so be it. This is more for them
And the students than the fans.
Sounds like this is an UA decision
Probably part if the negotiations that they had writes to certain games. Freeman saying he hasn't seen them tells me everything
He also states team captains have the final say in the uniforms.

Really? The department buys 80 black uniforms and then will sh^tcan them if the captains say "No"?

Just repeating what freeman said. I can’t believe this whole idea bothers people.

Total bunch of bullshit

Ugh. Least of my concerns…but, really?
Wear super dark navy if you want…but black is the wrong look for the Irish…in my view.
(Could have gone Green versus Red given the season…)
I liked the Shamrock Series unis, but yeah, ND isn’t really an allblack
But, let’s see how they look.
I for one am really pumped to see ND wearing Purdue or Colorado unis. Go Purdish!!!

Who exactly is making these decisions? It has to be about bringing in more revenue.
In one of the most important games in stadium history, it would be right to wear the colors that honor Our Blessed Mother. Black doesn't represent Our Lady. I hope MF didn't spend one second on this black unie stupidity. He's got more important matters to concern himself with. Just win the damn game and move on.
To be fair, Black is associated with the BVM. The black sash represents her pregnancy.(Guadelupe)

Nice try. Blue is the color that represents the Blessed Mother.

The playoff uniforms were designed by the monks at Under Armour...to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe?
...on the 493rd and 11 day anniversary of Her appearance?
MF lets the captains decide

Has to be Jack Swarbrick, I would wager.

Rip Van Winkle? Is that you?

I meant to take a jab at his obsessed critics. Clearly, I missed.
So I’m not a comedian. Guess my wife is right.
Thought he stepped down on March 25th. Is he like Dr. Evil now?

That’s right, I sometimes forget he’s gone.

In fairness...he did leave some sharks with frickin' laser beams in St. Mary's & St. Joseph's lakes.
