Notre Dame University unveiled new home jerseys Friday that will be worn during the 2024 college football season.
The most notable aspect of the jerseys, which were shown in photos on X, is the gold ND logo emblazoned on the sleeves:
While the jerseys are similar to what the Fighting Irish wore last season in that they are navy blue with white numbers featuring gold trim, the ND logo was white rather than the new gold coloring, which matches the team's helmets.
Notre Dame is coming off a 10-3 season in 2023, which concluded with a dominant 40-8 Sun Bowl victory over Oregon State.
It was the team's second full season under head coach Marcus Freeman, and they showed improvement after going a somewhat disappointing 9-4 in 2022.
Notre Dame has now won double-digit games in six of the past seven seasons, but it made just two College Football Playoff appearances during that stretch and failed to advance past the semifinals.
Reaching the CFP won't be quite as big of a challenge this season as it was in years past since the field is expanding to 12 teams.
Still, there is some uncertainty surrounding the Irish after they lost several key players to the NFL, including quarterback Sam Hartman, offensive tackle Joe Alt and running back Audric Estimé.
The biggest addition to the 2024 squad is quarterback Riley Leonard, who transferred from Duke and is expected to be Notre Dame's starting quarterback throughout the 2024 campaign.
If Leonard stays healthy and plays well, the Fighting Irish have a solid chance to make their first CFP appearance under Freeman, and they will look good doing it with their new uniforms.
