Notre Dame will play Syracuse at Yankee Stadium on Nov. 17. And you can’t play in the Bronx without wearing pinstripes.
The Fighting Irish will wear special uniforms for the Shamrock Series matchup against the Orange, and they revealed a first look at them on Twitter on Thursday.
Take a look below:

The helmets feature a pinstripe decal on the side that includes the Notre Dame logo. The team also revealed a close-up look of those on Twitter:

Sports fans love to hate the Yankees, and Notre Dame isn’t one of the more popular teams among many college football teams’ fan bases. So it’s safe to say that these uniforms may not be the favorites of fans of SEC teams.
However, they are pretty slick looking and provide the Fighting Irish with a unique look for this upcoming matchup.
The Shamrock Series began in 2019 and Notre Dame always wears special alternate uniforms for the game.
