COLUMBUS, Ohio (WMCH) — Perhaps hoping it brings good luck, Notre Dame picked St. Patrick’s Day to announce the style of uniform the Fighting Irish will wear when they play Ohio State this September.
A social media post Friday on Notre Dame’s football channel read, “Irish Wear Green. Today and on September 23rd.” That’s when the Irish will play the Buckeyes in South Bend, Indiana, for the first time since 1996, in a game that will air on NBC4. A kickoff time has not been announced.
The teams began a two-year series last year at Ohio Stadium, with the Buckeyes winning 21-10.
Notre Dame, whose regular colors are blue and gold, last wore green on Sept. 17 in a 24-17 win over California at Notre Dame Stadium. Here is how the Irish looked in them:
