Fashion Review
I thought the new Irish uniforms for
the Shamrock Series against Arizona
State were sooooo cool.
The green socks and patent leather
green shoes were just darling. I would
suggest that the shoes reach almost to
the knee, like the NFL cheerleaders,
and the pants be cut off just below the
thigh pads to show a little more leg.
And the helmets were so cute with
metallic gold paint, and so like Lady
Gaga and Madonna. Maybe a green
bow on the helmet top would set off
the whole ensemble.
Those old navy blue jerseys and
gold pants and helmet were so traditional — and who needs tradition in
college football? It's like joining the
student body after the game and singing the Alma Mater.

Who chose those uniforms against
Arizona State? The Irish looked like an
overdeveloped dance troupe.
Blue and gold colors, PLEASE!

school, and the Shamrock Series uniforms
are a reflection of the new wave in college
football, popularized most at Oregon, but
Many Irish fans did not approve of the Shamrock
Series uniforms Notre Dame wore in its game
against Arizona State Oct. 5.

prevalent elsewhere. It appeals to players
and recruits, which is what is most important to the coaches and the school.
The reaction to the Shamrock Series uniforms we received is almost comparable
to the mail Sports Illustrated used to
get from irate parents of teenage boys, or
members of the clergy, after the printing of
their annual swimsuit issue.
