Two of the most iconic brands in sports will soon be one.
As part of their upcoming Shamrock Series game against Syracuse at Yankee Stadium in November, Notre Dame released their newest set of uniforms from Under Armour and let’s just say it’s easy to spot the influences of the stadium’s regular tenants.
The Fighting Irish.

It’s a pretty clear nod to the 27-time World Series champion New York Yankees by utilizing their signature pinstripes on the sleeves and pants -- plus a Yankees-esque font for the school name on the front. The matte navy helmet looks particularly slick too.
No word on if the Orange will be breaking out some special threads for the game on the opposite sideline.
