Notre Dame gives us a royal blue shirt to sport in the 2016 football season, featuring the motto "Surrender to Excellence: Rise Above Ourselves".
Earlier today, the 27th annual "The Shirt" was revealed at the bookstore in advance of the Blue-Gold game on Saturday. Sales of The Shirt, as always, will go towards the Shirt Charity and the Rector Fund to assist Notre Dame students in need directly.
The shirt is royal blue, featuring a simple football with "Fighting Irish" on the front and emblazoned with the phrase "Surrender to Excellence: Rise Above Ourselves". The design on the back also features a banner for each historical National Championship.
