Notre Dame is set to take on Syracuse this week at Yankee Stadium, and the Irish will wear special baseball-themed uniforms in the “Shamrock Series” game.

The Fighting Irish said they want to “pay homage” to the real home team, the Yankees.

The Shamrock Series is a set of games Notre Dame has arranged where it will play a different team each season at neutral sites across the country. Previous locations include the Alamodome in 2009 and 2016, AT&T Stadium in 2013 and Fenway Park in 2015.

Athletics Director Jack Swarbrick has said he understands why people don’t like to change the uniform. It’s been discussed for much of this season, including before last week’s Senior Day 42-13 win over Florida State when the Irish wore a brighter green.

“That’s a perfectly valid position to take,” he said, according to SI.com. “It’s a position I had coming here. That was my view as a fan. But past that, the angst about what the alternative uniform looks like is a little silly.”

Along withe pinstripe pants, Notre Dame on Saturday will wear matte navy helmets.

The Irish, ranked No. 3 in the most recent College Football Playoff rankings, are facing what many people is their final test in order to remained ranked in the top four. The Orange are 8-2, No. 13 in the latest CFP rankings, and looking to play spoiler.

“Everybody goes crazy and thinks it’s the worst thing anybody has ever done,” Swarbrick said. “I try politely to point out that it’s not for them. I care a lot about how 120 guys on the team feel about it. Once a year they get to do it, so it’s about them. I spend maybe 10 minutes having a discussion about the uniform before it’s made. We talk concepts, they show me a few drawings, and I’m out because I don’t want to be a designer and people are going to react this way regardless of what we do.”
