Besides Notre Dame Football’s annual Blue-Gold game, the other event that has Irish fans eagerly anticipating is the release of whatever version of “The Shirt” that the committee comes up with after at least a couple of meetings.
Most years, The Shirt is an abomination of fashion and a champion of corn. If anyone wants to debate that with me — please feel free to look dumb. The thing is though... it’s not designed or engineered or intended to look good enough to wear around on a weekly basis. It’s designed to be a NASCAR pit crew shirt — a tool to use in the heat of battle.
