Rise and Suck


Lame. Totally lame. Notre Dame's annual tradition of making a clothing nightmare was announced with 'The Shirt 2009'. Here are photos...


...and here's a trashcan into which you can vomit. Really? "Defend Our Honor". Why not just, "Please don't embarrass the students and alumni again this year"?

These things seem to get uglier and uglier every year. On top of that, the huge silkscreened pattern on the back doubles as a f$%king solar panel in the September sun, fusing to your skin in the heat.

Why can't they just come up with a simple kelly green shirt with a shamrock on the left breast that says, "IRISH", across the back? Oh, that's right, because then the Notre Dame money-making machine can't steal your $25 year-after-year. God forbid we actually have some continuity as fans with a common color so we don't get drowned out by opposing fans for every home game because everyone is wearing a different 'Shirt'. What an annoyance. What an embarassment...

UPDATE: What are those, f#$king tiger stripes? I thought it was a bad picture, but upon further investigation it appears those wavy lines are intentional. Are they trying to cause motion sickness to our opponents? Is it some sort of topographical map? What's going on here? Who am I? Where is my pudding?

I don't know, Ian. The stripes look like wood grain to me. Maybe the shirts smell of rich mohagany and many leather bound books? That'd be something.
