On Sunday, Notre Dame became the first school in the BCS era to be #1 in the BCS standings and #1 in the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate. (+)

Notre Dame’s 4th down, goal-line stand against Stanford in overtime. AMAZING.

This palette has a near-perfect representation of the yellow I want Notre Dame football to resurrect on the pants.
Striped sleeves are a good look, too, but they make more sense for Princeton (Tigers) than Notre Dame (not Tigers).

I’m reserving further judgment on Notre Dame’s Shamrock Series helmet until after the game (I hated was grossed out by didn’t like the helmet for many reasons in the leaked photo), but the promo box (only 11 made!) looks really gold sharp. As always, click a photo to zoom.
The promo box contains:
1. Shamrock Series helmet
2. green jersey
3. shamrock gloves
4. vial with 1oz gold leaf from the administration building (the Golden Dome)
5. chocolate ND monogram and adidas logo covered in edible gold leaf
6. gold 8GB flash drive
7. gold headphones
8. green and gold 16GB iPod nano (pre-loaded with the ND fight song)
You can enter a contest to win a promo box on the ND FB FB page.

DISLIKE.
I prefer the old helmets. Now our gold is just like every other gold helmet. As in way too yellow. Not enough character.
*tears*
Edit, post-USC game: I LOVE THEM. THEY LOOK GREAT ON TV.
- We have created a new “Gold Standard” for football helmets with the Notre Dame reflective gold particle helmet
- This new shade of gold makes these helmets closer in color to the Golden Dome than any helmets we have worn at Notre Dame
- Tradition of having 23.9 karat gold flake in the paint on the helmet continues
- Gives us a more consistent look from helmet to helmet and week to week
- After exhausting many options we ultimately were forced to decide between continuing the tradition of managers painting helmets and have a subpar helmet or alter the painting process and get a superior helmet. We felt it was more important to get the color right.
- The new paint process is not in the skill set/capabilities of student managers.

Remember when football jerseys had sleeves? Judging by Princeton’s helmet (stripe + single-bar face mask), I’m willing to guess this photo was taken between 1950 and 1968.
