Notre Dame football head coach starred in a video on Wednesday that showed off what the Irish will be wearing when they play this year's Shamrock Series game. Because of the look of the uniform and because of the way the team showed it off, the Irish basically broke the internet.

This year’s game is set for November 23 at Yankee Stadium in New York against Army (7 p.m. EST on NBC/Peacock), and the uniforms — and the movie parody used to introduce them — reflected the occasion and the venue.

This year’s Shamrock Series game will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 13-7 Irish win on Oct. 18, 1924, at the Polo Grounds that inspired the great sports writer Grantland Rice’s famous writing:

“Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore their names are Death, Destruction, Pestilence, and Famine. But those are aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Crowley, Miller and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds this afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down upon the bewildering panorama spread out upon the green plain below.”

It's in the details

Notre Dame's unis don't even seem real

Some think the numbers are going to be hard to read.

Worst uniform design ever?

Best ever?

What was clear from the reactions to the Shamrock Series uniforms reveal is that there were definitely a couple of different responses. It feels like people either love it or hate it.

We'll get to see it in action later this fall and one thing is clear. This particular Notre Dame football uniform makes quite the statement.
