Whither Dignity?

It’s been almost 24 hours since Notre Dame unveiled the uniforms the football team will wear for the 2018 Shamrock Series game in Yankee Stadium against Syracuse.

I still consider myself too young to be a get-off-my-lawn type, but I certainly will cop to being generally conservative when it comes to Notre Dame, particularly its football program. As such, the recent trend of wearing “alternate uniforms” tends to rub me the wrong way. Let’s be clear, I’m not wedded to the blue-jersey-gold-pants thing … my favorite ND uniform ever is the green-and-gold the team came out of the tunnel in for the 1977 USC game, and I wish that would be ND’s typical garb.
