Once again the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are calling for a green out for a big home night game — this time against the USC Trojans. Last year, Notre Dame asked for a green out against the Michigan Wolverines, and to my actual surprise, the fans responded well.
It was the first time the school had ever officially declared a “green out” and promoted it so prominently. I had my theories as to why they actually did that time (low Shamrock Series apparel sales and the chance to cash in on a new green shirt from Under Armour despite the actual “The Shirt” being green that year) but they unfortunately chose to wear their normal home blues and saved the green jersey for the Florida State Seminoles.
