The throwbacks were unveiled on Friday for both Notre Dame and Michigan and if the designs are any indication of how the teams will perform on the field I must say Notre Dame is primed to send Wolverines fans disappointedly back to their homes.
For the Irish, the uniform alterations are modest at best. The traditional blue numbering will change to green and two green stripes will be added to both shoulders. Additionally, they will wear white socks with two green stripes along with white and green shoes.
The biggest change will come on the helmet as shamrocks will be added to both sides for the first time since the 1960s.
Ultimately, while the intent is to commemorate the first night game at Michigan Stadium this is certainly an added way to generate revenue for the two schools and the adidas brand.
That said, I could honestly care less what the motives behind the move are as I find it refreshing and nostalgic to celebrate one's history.
After all, the only thing fans on either side will find fashionable after the game is a win. Here's to an Irish victory while looking sharp doing it.

Are you kidding me? That Michigan kit is badass! They're both pretty good, but I like the big M.
I added a picture of one on Denard Robinson. These things always look better on real players.
The 'quilted' effect looks even worse on a human than computerized. I agree real players usually make the uniforms look better, but in this case I suppose the only place they could go was up since they were already at rock bottom in my opinion.
The style of the numbers looks good... as does the old school adidas logo (always been a big fan of that).
