Social media reacts to Notre Dame unveiling green uniforms
If there’s one thing diehard college football fans love, it’s tradition. That’s why many of them, including our own Nick Shepkowski, is upset that the regular season will be devalued by the expanded College Football Playoff beginning in 2024. Some don’t like it when nicknames or rivalry trophies are changed. Then, there are uniforms.
Reaction to the revelation of Notre Dame’s green uniforms for its Sept. 23 game against Ohio State has been mixed. While some like how spiffy they are, others see it as a reflection of the program’s apparently misplaced priorities, namely that it’s focused more on dressing well than winning games. Others don’t like that this was lumped in with the announcement that the program is extending its relationship with Under Armour.
Whatever you feel about it, chances are those feelings are reflected among these thoughts we found on social media. Take a look at the following and see if that’s the case:

These are roughly 177% nicer than Notre Dame’s last green jerseys https://t.co/lDl5SVUwze

It’s actually a hilarious move by Notre Dame and Under Armour to drop the new green uniforms on the same day as the new apparel deal to try and hide it, knowing fans would be upset.
Just because I like the new greens, I still don’t like you @UnderArmour

These Notre Dame green jerseys for the Ohio State game are way too similar to the Pat Dillingham vs. Boston College green jerseys from 2002. pic.twitter.com/N6lFLKaw5a

Notre Dame wearing the green jerseys at home against Ohio State…those green jerseys haven’t worked since beating Florida in the ‘92 Sugar Bowl.

The Irish should have to play Buford for the rights to the uniform. pic.twitter.com/hJEjM9VzjL
