The Shirt is ... not great, in my opinion.

Who are the ad wizards that came up with that one?

Same color as the top team on our home schedule

I assume they'll do a "green out" for that game, otherwise it seems insane to me to create a shirt that is nearly the exact same color as Florida State's gold.


will they ever put out a dry fit? *

Champion brand ones were the apex. Now they're made of tissue paper.


I actually prefer it over most of the other ones.

I suppose that is a low bar.

I basically never wear T-shirts anymore, but I might’ve bought this one 20 years ago.

Not a fan of the color, horse graphic is OK (though not accurate), back design is from the old cringe-worthy bookstore gameday shirt days. But that’s what we get. It’s all for the students and the money raised for charity, which is significant.

…for charity and the vast majority of people wearing the shirt are students. People 20-30-40-50yrs out of school really shouldn’t be up in arms each spring because it doesn’t suit their style. I realize it’s crucial for ACross’s outfits each fall, but others shouldn’t feel bad not buying it if they don’t like it. And emoting about it seems ridiculous (not saying you are).

On the front page was a plain white t-shirt. It said in navy blue block print, "Notre Dame; The Shirt; 2024."

It was perfect. I felt like Ian Malcolm in the original Jurassic Park, "You son of a bitch, you actually did it!"

Turns out it was a place holder until they could unveil the piss yellow ones. Awesome.

It's still up if you'd like to indulge in the fantasy of it being real with me.

ironic that they are sending the message that “The Tradition Continues” on the same shirt that they alter one of the most iconic photos in sports history. I don’t know if there’s some copyright issue but it comes off as silly, not inspiring.

Outlined against a CoorsLight-drunken-piss yellow shirt, the Four Horses pranced again
In dramatic lore their names are Death, Destruction, Pestilence, and Famine.
But those are aliases.
Their real names are: Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.
