Adidas’ fiendish plot to destroy Notre Dame football’s soul continues. The Fighting Irish kickoff the 2012 season in Ireland against Navy. Players will be wearing this fetching footwear. Recruits love this sort of thing. The only question: does Notre Dame go full on asshole with the shamrock helmets as well or just stick with the goldgasm?

Pretty sure the past four coaches have done a much better job of this.

Repeat this every time some old douche in the media takes a shot at new uniforms. Hey old man…they’re not doing this to appeal to you, someone who doesn’t matter.

If there’s any color combo that goes well with navy/gold, it’s green/orange. Great design.

Methinks they’re not caring too much about matching with their unis here, and more about paying homage to Ireland.

Reminds me of cantaloupe.

I can’t wait to see what NEB does for their one-game thing this year. Knowing NEB they’ll change like one stripe or something like that. They have such an old, crabby base of fans.

Well methinks it fucking sucks. Agree to disagree.

Concept is fine, execution is horrible. Considering your logo already has three stripes built into it, why not build off that instead of making it the whole shoe?

Plus they make me think of Congo’s flag which is green/yellow/red in diagonals.

Terrible all around.

Changing a school’s traditions based on the whims of an 18 year old kid is retarded.

I know Notre Dame and Michigan are slaves to adidas, but let’s show a little pride, guys.

An homage. Yeah, that’s what it is. Not a marketing opportunity at all. It’s an homage.

Looks like something the U should be wearing.

OH THE HORROR!!! What??? They want to wear a different shoe one game a year? Well fuck me sideways…I’m done with them. DONE!! If they won’t wear the same cleats each week then I just don’t know what to do with my fandom.

Basketball schools tend to take desperate measures to remain relevant and “flashy” in football.

Can’t it be both?

Is it, though? Are you sure it isn’t the systematic destruction of all things tradition at Notre Dame?

A little bit of this.

But mostly this.

This is also true. I don’t this is as much an abortion as the shamrock helmet. I just loath the “recruits like it” argument.
