My Favorite "THE SHIRT" Design of All-Time!

This is the one -- it was worn during the 2007 Notre Dame football season.  I will admit I have selfish reasons for picking this my all-time favorite...

Our son Jimmy Small '08 -- an Irish Guard at the time -- was worked into the design of the ND Monogram on the back of THE SHIRT.  You'll see his face in the lower left hand corner of the Monogram -- click on the images above to zoom in.

• That year's THE SHIRT sales:  135,000
• The football team record -- not so good:  3 - 9

This year's version of THE SHIRT -- will be unveiled today between 5:30 PM ET and 6:00 PM ET -- in front of the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore.  Former ND great Brady Quinn will unveil the shirt...

My guess on the color this year -- ND BLUE.
