NBC Sports: CollegeFootballTalkNotre Dame unveils alternate uniforms honoring Knute Rockne’s legacy
As you may know, I’m hardly a fan of the alternate uniform craze. These, though, I can very easily get behind. Notre Dame on Friday released images of new uniforms the Fighting Irish will wear for their Nov. 18 game against Navy. From helmet to shoes, the new duds will serve as a head-to-toe tribute to the legendary Knute Rockne. The players will all have the name “ROCKNE” emblazoned on the backs of their jerseys, while the helmets replicate the leather ones of Rockne’s era. The cleats also will pay homage to the era in which Rockne, also a former player at the school, coached the Fighting Irish to five national championships from 1918-1930. In those 13 seasons, the Irish lost just 12 games
