apeman33 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 What do you guys think of ND with names on the back?Nothing wrong with it to me. It's not exactly a tradition to not have them since they were on the jersies prior to Lou Holtz's tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apeman33 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I always have, and always will hate names on the back of jerseys.No particular reason, i just never liked it.One thing about them is that it appears as though the numbers on the back have been moved down a bit and made a bit smaller to accomodate the name.

ManCalledAmp Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I always have, and always will hate names on the back of jerseys.No particular reason, i just never liked it.In the same vein, I have never liked jerseys to lack names on the back. I know some people argue that NOB is clutter, unnecessary, not properly visible, etc., and that so many "classic" designs are nameless...to me it just seems unfinished and cheap.Playing for the name on the front of the jersey (or the one that's implied)? Or merely playing in someone else's shirt?I can see high schools going nameless, though some even spring for it (M'boro-Blackman HS did for the first season they played football, even)...but in my opinion, there isn't a good excuse for teams at the D-I college level or higher than AA ball in the pros to rock a nameless look...unless they just didn't have time to stitch a nameplate onto a new guy's jersey.Haven't seen the ND jerseys yet on TV, but I believe I'll call them an improvement.Still, we can all agree to disagree on the NOB front. Go Gators. Go Blue Raiders. Go Commodores. Go USC Trojans.Preds & Avs. Braves, Rays, & Dodgers. Titans, Colts, Broncos, Cardinals. Grizzlies. 14ers, Jam. Team Spirit + Laziness = Yay.

brandon11 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I would have to admit, I am a fan of the no name jersey! boston redsox, yankees, very classic look, notre dame should have kept them without the names. brandonjbrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManCalledAmp Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Heard them say during the broadcast that apparently this was a bowl game tradition at one point, that ND would bust out the NOB jerseys, and the players could keep them as permanent mementos/souvenirs, etc.Not only did it look better, but it has tradition as well? Win. I give the effort an A, which is rare for me to say about anything ND (including uniforms).Now if only I could talk them into sticking the ND logo on the helmets... Go Gators. Go Blue Raiders.

The rest of the jersey was not touched at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 For the jerseys.... I was more concerned about Charlie Weiss and entire coaching staff in Hawaiian shirts. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMUBrent Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I saw the highlights of the game on ESPN. I liked that one highlight where a ND receiver (or tight end, not sure) caught a pass, took a big hit, and gold flakes flew off his helmet. Pretty cool effect.

darkhaha Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Probably a lot more fun to have your name on the back of your jersey when you're beating up an overmatched Hawaii squad than when playing, say, USC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was while they were still under their Champion deal, wearing the Holtz-era jerseys.
