The Fighting Irish will wear special uniforms to honor former head coach and three-time national champion Knute Rockne, whose vision and persistence led to the construction of the original Notre Dame Stadium. In 1930, the inaugural year of Notre Dame Stadium, the Irish played Navy in the Dedication Game for the facility. Fast forward to 2017 and the Fighting Irish will wear the “ROCKNE” uniforms in the November 18th contest against the Midshipmen to close out the inaugural season in the new facility.
