14 MAY 2019 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED
UNDER THE DOME
THE BIG PICTURE
THE SHIRT 2019
Now in its third decade, "The Shirt" for 2019 was revealed the Friday
prior to the Blue-Gold Game that concluded spring practice April 13.
The theme this year is "Built on Tradition," which portrays both a glori-
ous past and more prosperous future with new traditions built on those
that have lasted 132 years.
On the back is a vintage Notre Dame football player standing in an
abstracted version of a renovated Notre Dame Stadium. The design team
highlighted this traditional feel with a muted color palette to emphasize
the vintage nature of The Shirt and used as much of The Shirt 2019's
heathered navy color in its design as possible.
The front of the shirt is simple with its line-work football, pop of green
from the shamrock and vintage typefaces. A retro font was chosen to be
carried through the front and the back of The Shirt 2019. Members of
The Shirt Project had drawn inspiration from writing within Notre Dame
Stadium after a tour of the complex.
