With the updated home uniforms recently announced, we were just talking about the attempt to wear shiny gold player numbers on the Notre Dame blue jerseys. For the 2024 Shamrock Series uniforms, the school simply says, “hold my beer.”

On Wednesday, Notre Dame released their 2024 Shamrock Series uniforms to be worn at Yankee Stadium against Army later this November. The school teased out a video yesterday and released a longer video today (just like last year) releasing the new alternate uniforms:

Playing off the famous 1924 Four Horsemen game in New York City, the uniform color is a gray-ish blue which includes blue pants, as well. According to the publicity photos, Notre Dame will be wearing their standard gold helmets with the uniform.

The highlight of the uniform are extremely shiny and beveled player numbers and monogram.

The gothic type numbers are also an interesting touch. I’ll also note they even brought the bevel to the logos on the pants too.

In the history of Shamrock Series uniforms, these most resemble the 2014 edition worn in Indianapolis that also utilized a blue-on-blue jersey/pant design. That day, the Irish also wore a slightly different gold helmet with a blue monogram logo.

Here’s a look at the Shamrock Series logo, as well as a screenshot from the video with the players (sadly without the helmets on).

I like these, probably a lot.

They’re just different enough to make them look unique but it still looks very much like Notre Dame. I’m all for a different shade of blue, and would argue Notre Dame could use some rebranding on that front with the regular uniforms, although that’s a topic for another day. I like the way the shiny gold and blue-gray color are working together here.

Don’t sleep on the white undershirts and socks choice, these decisions matter! Even with blue golves and cleats I like that they didn’t swallow up everything in blue or gold.
