Greg McElroy may be transitioning into an older generation with a statement like this about alternate uniforms. Notre Dame’s recent reveal raised the topic for the ESPN analyst.

“In college football, I have never been a supporter of the alternate uniform,” McElroy said on his “Always College Football” podcast. “If you’re a traditional powerhouse, where I know what your uniform is going to look like when you take the field, please don’t mess with it.”

McElroy understands that it may be a generational issue, where younger players, and possibly recruits, prefer the alternates.

“Like when Notre Dame wore those navy blue uniforms, and navy helmets, I’m like, who the heck is Navy playing here? You are the Golden Domers, baby, do not mess with that. Don’t mess with your uniform. I know the kids like the gear and I get all that. That’s fun. I’m fine with that. Man, don’t abandon your identity as a college football program. Your identity (is) those awesome helmets, are those great uniforms.”

Depending on how old his audience is, McElroy wondered, “Am I the old man yelling at the cloud?”
