The secret if officially out. After leaks from the College Football 25 video game (and early release beginning this past Monday evening) the world knew that Notre Dame was changing up its uniforms for the 2024 season. In this case, it’s just a small change to the home jersey. So far, at least. If we are to believe the video game, the away uniform set will remain the same as last year.
Do you like gold?
The most visual change comes to the monogram on the shoulders which has switched from white outlined in gold to a fully shiny/metallic gold with no outline against the blue jersey. Also included in the changes are the player numbers now outlined in the same shiny/metallic gold, as well. Notre Dame released some studio shots of the new look today:
What’s the verdict?
I think it’s a step backwards for the home uniform as a whole. The biggest issue is that the new monogram on the sleeve will be difficult to see on the field in different lighting conditions. That’s a weird thing to happen when you’re switching to a shiny new fabric, right!? Additionally, having the shoulder logo in all-gold throws the jersey off-balance when it used to match the numbers. If you want another quibble, the front helmet bumper is gold outlined in blue, but without any metallic, and looks even more out of place now.
I’m a little surprised that they didn’t switch the player numbers to the shiny gold if only to match things, but I’m guessing that came down to a couple factors. One, it would’ve been too difficult to see those numbers and the jerseys would’ve been required to be changed by officials. Two, switching to all-gold numbers was probably too much against tradition.
I think they are okay, but I agree on the fact that the gold logo will be less visible from the seats or on tv than the old white logo
I like them! Would the shoulder monogram be easier to see if they outlined the patch in white? It’d be a reverse of the numbers.
Oh yeah, UA logo now gold and at the bottom of the collar now, too.
These are pretty solid. They did pretty will here. I don’t think they avoided the gold numbers to maintain tradition I think they didn’t do it because it would of looked really stupid
Does it look less stupid on the shoulder then?
I wonder what these would’ve looked like in the daylight…
I bet they add white trim to the monogram next year.
From the nosebleeds at Soldier Field, you could barely tell these were different from the normal uniforms, even with the Leftrechaun helmets.
Not a huge deal obviously, but the shiny gold monograms look tacky. I’d prefer the big white TV numbers of the Weis era.
Anyone else get a notice that Peacock is raising it’s price ?
Goodbye Peacock.
Not surprising because all these streamers have to start actually making money (RIP low-interest-rate environment). But, I have a maybe contrarian take: for somebody who admittedly doesn’t watch a ton of scripted TV (thanks to busy job and young kid; I would otherwise!), Peacock is actually maybe the streamer I spend the most time with, maybe by far?
ND stuff (including the exclusive game but also I sometimes have to watch some parts of our games on replay; see above re: young kid), Wrestlemania, NFL games, plus they have some baseball I think. If I watched EPL basically at all it would be easily the #1 streamer to me.
I understand. I only subscribed to watch the Tour de France and check out the site. So, I’ve only been subscribed for less than a month and they’re already raising the price. I haven’t watched one thing besides the Tour. After the first few days of the Olympics, I plan to drop it.
It isn’t like 18Stripes which gives you so much for the money it charges.
I use Peacock a ton. If you want to keep watching cycling, Peacock carries all of the ASO owned races so it’ll have the Vuelta coming up later this year. And pre-Tour, it’ll carry half of the cycling calendar like Paris-Nice, LBL, Paris-Roubaix, Dauphine, and more.
Also, the price increase is coming AFTER the Olympics for current subscribers.
I’d rather not pay an extra $2 per month but with cycling, soccer, random movie or TV shows, ND, and whatever my kids watch it’s still pretty great value, IMO.
Most of the other cycling stuff I only have time for the highlights. Don’t watch movies often and soccer never. I’m sure it is great for many people.
Fair enough! You should be cancelling regardless of the price then!
You’re right though, I can’t wait to see Tadej and Jonas go at it again next year.
11+ months to go!
Also, 18 Stripes does not have Jason Garrett!
i prefer the old shoulder monograms but i really like the shiny gold outline on the numbers
reminds me of the 2018 CFP uniforms
do we want to remember that
