Story of the Year -- New ND Helmet Paint!
This is going to pop on TV Saturday night! The Fighting Irish are going to debut a NEW GOLD football helmet for the USC game. The NBC cameras should have fun with this! The new helmet has the 23.9 karat gold flakes in the paint from the DOME -- but, they won't ever have to be painted again -- so that tradition is gone. But, I'll take this NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL HELMET any day! WOW!!!
The folks at UND.COM introduced the helmet tonight -- here's the story! And, Coach Kelly talked about the helmet with the media after practice today...
