I love those late 90s early 2000s uniforms. These things they wear now look too gimmicky

Maybe because I’m used to what they wore in the 90s and 2000s but I always preferred that color of gold

I sort of feel this way, but sort of prefer the new look.

I don't know if it was a Gameday feature, but I remember Kelly saying several years ago they tried to get the new helmet paint to reflect exactly like the Golden Dome. Can't say if they achieved that, but it looks good on tv.

When CFB was CFB.

Nice and nasty and honored traditions.

Nobody was changing uniforms left and right to be avante-garde.

The students used to paint helmets every week with real 24k flake paint.


So did the kid from Holy Cross that wanted to transfer to Notre Dame to walk on the football team.

I just wish they’d go back to putting the golden dome on their collar. That was a great look that tied it all together imo.

The helmets are better but the pants are worse

The pants look like fricking baby puke

I just realized how much taller the Norte Dame players were compared to the Miami players in that picture. I wish everybody on LSU’s offensive line was from big 10 country.

That's not gold, that's brown.

I also like the stripes on the sleeves and collar. When were those removed?

That was a Bob Davis only thing

Faust has wide striped.

Everyone else has had no stripes or collar

The pants are similar in color to baby poop.

Davie was there from...1997-2001? Weren't there also names briefly on the back of the jersey with Faust? Or am I wrong?

Faust had them for a couple years I remember but not every year.

The tradition is
Names for bowls
Green for huge games
White with green because why not (Sugar Bowl with Mirer)

I can’t believe people like this



Better than this



One looks like Notre Dame. The others looks like a XFL team trying to pimp out Notre dame

It’s the quality in pictures the adding of the Dome Gold to it some

I like the look as they’re being throwbacks and using same paint as dome. It’s not just something random they’re meant to represent things.

I don't ever remember names on the back anytime recently. I never like no names on the back. It makes it easier to see who was on the field or involved in the play if the play by play person doesn't tell you if names are on the back. I remember dark green worn rarely (specifically in the USC game in 2005). When Willingham was coach, I remember an awesome bright shade of green worn if I remember correctly. I thought Mirer was going to be a terrific NFL QB. But I was way off.

I usually like brighter colors over duller/lighter colors. But I'm not a traditionalist either.

On the other hand, I do like the darker shade of gold the Saints have on the stripes and numbers tonight. But hate the light shade of gold on the helmet. Just make it match. It shouldn't be that hard.
