Notre Dame Unveils Unconventional Uniforms for Orange Bowl vs. Penn State

One standout feature came with walk-on cornerback Charles Du, a native of China, whose name was written in Chinese on the back of his jersey against Georgia. This marks a historic first in college football and has sparked widespread admiration for the unique decision, as the Fighting Irish allow players to express their individuality in this way.

This is the first year of the expanded 12-team playoff format, and with all the Division I and FBS teams across the country, being selected to play in the playoff is a tremendous honor. It’s a testament to everything the players and coaches have accomplished throughout the regular season.

For some, this may be their final time playing football, while for others, it could be the biggest stage they’ll ever competed on. Having your name on the back of the jersey for the world to see is a special moment. 

Notre Dame stepping away from longstanding tradition to start a new one is a cool and significant move for the university and the football program moving forward.
