We are either in the middle of or about to enter a major gradient phase in sports uniforms. It's not something that's easy to pull off especially in large quantities. In recent years, a handful of teams have jumped in including some of them linked below: Arizona Basketball Utah Jazz Manchester City South Florida Football [...]

Today marks our 39th uniform concept for Notre Dame football. We're now 15 months into this project! This is just the second design so far that utilizes a gold helmet-blue jersey-white pants combination, which definitely surprised me. This one was made so long ago I forgot if there was any inspiration for the design. The [...]

So far in our concepts we've used a shamrock, leprechaun, monogram, a football, various scripts, the university seal, and the golden dome as various logos on the uniforms. Suffice to say, Notre Dame isn't short on logos in any way, shape, or form. Our 38th concept adds to the bunch. The hat from the leprechaun [...]

Coming off our previous black-heavy St. Patrick's Day concept we return to the more comfortable green roots for the 37th Notre Dame concept by 18 Stripes. Today's effort was attempting two things. One, to put together the first green helmet in our portfolio. Two, mix green with gold and yellow. At first glance, this combination [...]

This week we unveil our 36th uniform concept for Notre Dame and it's a special occasion for Irish fans. In searching for some inspiration for a St. Patrick's Day concept I was dismayed at how generic and boring most efforts are from sports teams. I'd venture a guess that 98% or more of teams simply [...]

Today we unveil our 35th uniform concept for Notre Dame football. The funny thing is this one shouldn't have been made. I actually loathe the term "Domers" or "Golden Domers." Until today, I can't remember the last time I used the term. In fact, it's one of those odd nicknames that is barely used by [...]

Here's our 34th uniform concept for Notre Dame football. For the second time in this epic series we're taking some inspiration from the wonderful styles of 1990's jackets. In case you missed the first concept, you can view it HERE. Jackets like the one shown below were inventive for being some of the first Notre [...]

It's the 33rd Notre Dame football uniform concept as presented by the imagination of 18 Stripes. Today's offering actually has roots as a bit of a throwback but with a couple of new touches. Remember back in the 1980's and 90's when teams would wear bowl patches way up on their shoulders? Like me, you [...]

Today we publish our 32nd uniform concept for Notre Dame football. This one is part one of a throwback to the days of C+C Music Factory, Color Me Badd, and R.E.M. on the radio during a time when snapback hats were first cool and large winter coats were all the rage. It's the early 1990's [...]

Here's our 31st Notre Dame football uniform concept. Mixing blue and green with a hint of gold it offers a slight twist to the traditional Fighting Irish home uniform. For me, the green really adds quite a different element but in actuality there's not much different to this jersey compared to the normal set. On [...]

Today marks our 30th Notre Dame football uniform concept and our first of the 2018 New Year. This is also the 4th and final concept from our friend Clint Glaze's throwback collection. As luck would have it this concept runs at a perfect time. In 1981, the Fighting Irish hired Gerry Faust who changed the [...]

For our 29th uniform concept for Notre Dame football we're going way, way, way back. All the way back to the beginning of the first football team on campus. Yes, that's right back to 1887 a year in which the AAU was formed, the Eiffel Tower began construction in Paris, Queen Victoria celebrated her Golden [...]

Today marks our 28th Notre Dame football uniform concept and the second from the Clint Glazer throwback collection. Last week's was an homage to the late 1930's as Notre Dame sought its way in a world long without Knute Rockne. Our design today is taken from a couple decades later. 1959 was a landmark year [...]

Today marks our 27th uniform concept for Notre Dame football and this will be the first of a multi-concept run from our graphic designer partner Clint Glaze. He's going to show off several concepts based on uniforms of Irish past. In terms of uniforms, the late Elmer Layden era at Notre Dame during the closing [...]

Today we move on to our 26th uniform concept for Notre Dame football. You may have noticed to this point that we're definitely stepping outside the box with some of these and one of the many ways to produce different concepts is to mess around with combinations of shades of colors. Today's effort is messing [...]
