I am an addict. Notre Dame and the black jerseys don't mix and I wish we didn't spring for those. We have plenty of color choices not named black (blue, green, even yellow).

The front half of the jersey is lighter than the back half, most likely due to the difference in materials on each side. Just another strike against the SOD.
