sj32 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I don't think they have worn them since losing to USC last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 It's like a once-a-year thing now I guess...I like em, makes them look really good.With that being said, their win percentage ain't so hot in the greens. Even though they're playing Army, watch out for the upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew22 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Sixth-ranked Notre Dame, looking for a motivational boost in its home finale, broke out the green jerseys for its game Saturday against Army.Just as the Fighting Irish have in years past, the Irish warmed up in their normal blue home jerseys but came out of the locker room for the start of the game wearing green. It was the first time they wore the green since losing 34-31 to top-ranked USC last October.Some in the stands cheered the green jerseys, others groaned.The Irish have not fared well wearing green in recent years. In 2002, the Irish lost 14-7 to Boston College in 2002, then-coach Tyrone Willingham's first loss after eight straight wins to open the season. Before that, the Irish lost wearing green in a 35-28 loss to Georgia Tech in the 1999 Gator Bowl and 41-24 to Colorado in the 1995 Fiesta Bowl.The Irish beat Florida 39-28 wearing white shirts with green numbers in the 1992 Sugar Bowl. In 1985, the Irish came out in the first half wearing blue against USC and at halftime switched to green in a 37-3 victory.In 1977, when coach Charlie Weis was a senior at Notre Dame, the 11th-ranked Irish wore green and beat No. 5 USC 49-19 en route to the national championship.

otherwilds Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I just feels a little hokey like they had to wear them at least once, maybe at the behest if adiddas even. And as tho they want to get a win in the green jersey column and who better than Army to do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Yeah, I think they should wear green at home all the time, and blue and gold on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Name Here Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Once again, if they're going to wear green jerseys, they should wear white pants and helmets, with orange stripes. Don't mix flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong though.I like the green jerseys but I still prefer the Irish in blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRice16 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Tom Hammond mentioned during the broadcast that the seniors had asked earlier in the week to wear them and that Weiss may make it a senior day tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold and blue have been N.D.'s official school colors almost all the way back to its founding (blue being a color associated with the Virgin Mary, N.D.'s namesake, gold standing for Truth and the golden dome on the main building). The green came along once "Fighting Irish" had become the football team's de facto, and then official, nickname (though the official colors of the school remain only gold and blue).

Guest Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Home, road. Represents the Fighting Irish nickname at home by way of the green, represents Notre Dame and its school colors on the road. Though I wish they'd wear socks. I always thought sockless looked sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCScout76 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I was there - true. My mother got tickets and I flew into Chicago, hooked up with my mother & brother Jere and his friend. My uncle & his girlfriend flew in from California. My uncle attend Notre Dame from 1957-59.We were there and it was awesome! They warmed up in their traditional blues and after going back in, they changed. When they came out in their GREENS the stadium erupted - We were on the 35 yd. line, 32 rows up behind the south end of the army bench.What a great exprience - the whole weekend; pep rallys, touring the campus, buying ND stuff at the book store. There were alot of people there. Our section was fullAnyway, I'll post pictures later. I just got back from Chicago about an hour ago - I need a nap.KCScout76 Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021 St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL) 2023 Champions Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korkie Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I like the idea of these being worn on Senior Day.

Not so much playing it, but more the designing and sewing of uniforms.Tyler: That's neat.Dr. Kelso: No, it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
