The Notre Dame football program is full of tradition. In years past, the football teams’ uniforms have rarely changed. The only exceptions were the iconic green jerseys that would make occasional appearances.
So you can understand why a team and a fanbase might get excited to see some fresh new digs. After all, this isn’t the University of Oregon.
Enter the appropriately-named, Shamrock Series.
The Shamrock Series began in 2009. In the beginning, it was just a game wth a cool title played at a neutral site (usually an NFL stadium).
To up the fanfare, Notre Dame starting releasing never-before-seen alternate uniforms for the annual game in 2011.
