This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The helmets are simply metallic. Nothing to do w/ football by ndgotrobbedin97

If they even looked like the current (very shiny) football helmets it would be OK, but these are just metallic-gold monstrosities. They don't say what I think is intended....take the hockey or Lacrosse teams, for instance. Both of them have the same look as the football helmet, and they're fine. Baseball's attempt is hideous and embarrassing.

And, of course, the uniforms are just plain ridiculous. The all-blue would be (almost) OK except for the cheap attempt at showing how Irish ND can be with the designs.

Every team ND plays seems to be able to stay true to themselves with their uniform choices. ND seems to be trying to sell product in its bookstore.
