Notre Dame has become the first non Nike affiliated team to make the College Football Playoffs. In honor of the monumental occasion Under Armour has created these special ‘Rush 4 Gold’ edition uniforms. The “Rush 4 Gold” mantra has been inspired by the gold across the campus of Notre Dame.
The Fighting Irish’s jerseys will feature gold trimming on the numbers, the "Notre Dame" monogram on the shoulder and the "Cotton Bowl" patch on the chest. We see “Rush 4 Gold” and “God, Country, Notre Dame” embroidered in gold text, into the jersey. To finish off the look the Irish will rock kelly green gloves and cleats. The Kelly Green cleats will come in suede, marking the first time a suede version of the UA Spotlight cleat will hit the football field.
"This a special moment in our partnership - Notre Dame aiming to close out an undefeated season with a national championship, and Under Armour having our first team in the College Football Playoffs. We wanted to keep the uniform traditional and true to Notre Dame, but dial it up to pay homage to the school's history with gold, and mark this incredible accomplishment" - Nick Billiris, Senior Design Director of Team Sports at Under Armour

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are set to take the field at the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas. This will be the first time a non Nike affiliated school has reached the College Football Playoffs. The appearance also marks the debut of their latest uniform design construction, the ArmourGrid uniform.
The ArmourGrid material forms the core of the jersey. Drawing inspiration from the military-grade parachute construction that needs to be both lightweight and strong. The ArmourGrid is comprised of a matrix formed from high tensile-strength threads encapsulating lightweight material. The result is a slim silhouette that wraps the front panel, back panel and sleeves, areas where stretch is not needed. The new material helps each player remain elusive, whether they are in the trenches with the linemen or skill players evading tacklers. We will see multiple other Under Armour schools wearing the ArmourGrid technology this bowl season.
"Players have told us that with ArmourGrid, hands just slide off the shoulders, back and waist like they've never experienced before. The material leaves defenders grasping at air, where otherwise they'd get a fistful of jersey."- Kyle Blakely, VP Materials Innovation
