big deal

today's a big day here in notre dame, in. today, in approximately 2 hours, the shirt will be unveiled. there is a big unveiling ceremony and everything, with brian kelly even helping hype it up and show off THE shirt for this year.
 
the shirt is a long standing tradition amongst the notre dame student body and community - it began in 1990 as a way to unify the student body for their home game against michigan. since both teams have similiar school colors - blue and yellow/gold - the shirt was made green so the ND students could stand unified in their irish green (shirt to the left). and in 1993, the shirt's profits were used to help offset the medical bills of an ND student who had become paralyzed. today, proceeds from the shirt are used to support student body clubs and organizations, student medical costs, and students who cannot normally afford to participate campus activities. 

a new shirt has been revealed every year since 1990. last years shirt (front is below) was also green, but since the shirts inception it has been gaining more and more popularity throughout the community. i've only been here for a few weeks and i can't wait to see what the shirt committee came up with this year!
