On Saturday we will honor the legendary Knute Rockne and celebrate the history and tradition of Notre Dame.#GoIrish ☘ #BeatNavy pic.twitter.com/CsDKO1CsEc — Notre Dame Football (@NDFootball) November 14, 2017 The uniforms take cues from one's past, most notably at the very top of the outfit, with a nod to the leather helmets of yesteryear, including faux leather patterning all over and mimicked stitching wrapping all the way around: First batch is here #GoIrish pic.twitter.com/K9MxTZYPsr — Ryan Grooms (@NDFBEquipment) November 14, 2017 The rest of the uniform also echoes old designs, featuring leather-styled cleats as well as nice new-age touches like gloves that spell Rockne's last name and a pair of Rockne patches on the chest. It's always fun to see a team add an extra level of meaning into their old school get-ups, and the Irish sure know how to go old school. The Irish face Navy this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in South Bend.
