What if...
Under Armour picked an "obnoxious green" color -- one that would let the world know Notre Dame is here -- that they would commit to for the next nine years of their current contract with the University of Notre Dame.
Look at this photo above -- it has a few colors present, including red -- what color jumps off the page? The bright green...
This green would be marketed in a collection called the "Notre Dame Stadium Collection" or the "Fighting Irish Collection." A collection that would be worn by Notre Dame fans at ALL sporting events featuring our Fighting Irish -- we would not have to wear it from "head to toe" to get the desired effect -- a hat, a scarf, in the right color will work.
This Collection would include the following items:
- caps / winter hats / gloves
- jackets / coats / hoodies
- sweatshirts / t-shirts / polo shirts
- shorts / sweat pants / pants
- shoes / scarfs / sun glasses
Notre Dame fans would know that this is what you wear to sporting
events involving the Fighting Irish -- and they'd also know that Under
Armour would not be changing the shade of green...
Please note -- we would still have all of the other color options and styles available at the Bookstore -- we'd just have an exclusive COLOR to wear to Notre Dame athletic events!
I've had three moments in the past fifteen years where I've been to Notre Dame sporting events where we had more fans than our opponent -- but, their fans all wore RED and it looked in the stands like they had twice as many fans as we did. Even though we all were wearing Notre Dame gear -- unfortunately in five different colors; blue, black, white, gold and green:
- Nebraska at Notre Dame Stadium -- 2000
- Ohio State at the Fiesta Bowl -- 2006
- Louisville at Notre Dame Stadium -- 2014
We have the greatest fans in collegiate sports -- let's dress (for once) like we're all on the same team!
What do you think!!!
