Green for huge games
That used to be RARELY used...and only when ND was a HUGE underdog...and usually just for USC if USC was ranked #1 and Notre Dame was having a pitiful season.
Like once every 10 years for a once in a lifetime game.
Then fricking Ty Willingham brought them out against Boston College.
Then in 2005 ND was ranked #8 in the nation and faced #1 USC and in Charlie Weiss first year, he brings out the green jerseys like a buffoon and jinxed them ever since.
They then wore them again in 2007 against USC and lost 38-0.
Ty Willingham fricked the magic of the jerseys and Weis got greedy. I mean, wearing the green jerseys against an average Boston College team?

Well, let's not put it all on Ty. Lou trotted out the green jerseys against Colorado in the Fiesta Bowl, and Bob Davie brought them back a few years later against Georgia Tech in the Gator Bowl.
Both games were comfortable losses.

They just added more gold in the paint plus HD shows better detail.
Watching them in person it is even wilder. The first thing I noticed watching warmups in Athens when ND visited last year was how their helmets looked like they were glowing, maybe the new LED lights had something to do with it but it was pretty wild looking.
