Now in its 29th year, The Shirt Project began in 1990 as a means to raise money to fund Notre Dame student activities – a cause it continues to support today. In the spring of 1990, senior Brennan Harvath '91, then Chairman of AnTostal, had the idea to sell T-shirts to raise funds for AnTostal, the Student Union Board's spring festival. The shirt created for the fundraiser was also intended to unify the student body for the home-opener football game against Michigan on September 15, 1990. Over 9,000 shirts were sold and sales reached over $17,000. The Shirt 2018 highlights the strong, unbreakable unity of our Notre Dame family. From our dedicated fans to our talented players, the Notre Dame family is unlike that of any other University. A goal line stand is the dominant feature on the back of the design, reminding fans world-wide that the Fighting Irish always fight to the end regardless of the odds, great or small. The memory of legendary football coach Ara Parseghian will echo throughout the stadium as the Shirt prominently features his famous saying "We Have No Breaking Point". The color of The Shirt is a return to a true Kelly green that our fans have not seen since 2010. Every year, The Shirt Project designs a T-shirt for the upcoming Notre Dame football season. Proceeds from sales of The Shirt — believed to be the single highest-selling item of collegiate apparel in the nation — benefit student organizations, the Student Experience Fund and The Shirt Charity Fund, a resource for students who have extraordinary medical expenses. The Shirt 2018 will mark the project's 30th shirt and 29th year.
If you would like to purchase The Shirt for 2018, they are available at Hammes Bookstores and Varsity Shop on campus or available for online purchase! Information courtesy of theshirt.nd.edu, where you can learn more about The Shirt project.  |
| Notre Dame to implement clear bag policy Posted: 20 Apr 2018 08:08 AM PDT
In line with best practices at major entertainment and athletics venues, the University of Notre Dame will implement a clear bag policy for all reserve-ticketed events at Notre Dame Stadium, Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center and the Compton Family Ice Arena, effective Sept. 1 for the first football game of the 2018 season. "Safety and security on campus is our highest priority, said Mike Seamon, vice president for campus safety and event management. This new policy will be a significant addition to the many safeguards we already have in place." "Many stadia and arenas nationwide have adopted this policy in recent years, and it has proven to enhance safety and, because it reduces faulty bag searches, expedite fans' access through the gates and into the venues." Under the policy, fans will be allowed to bring with them a clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag that does not exceed 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches or a one-gallon plastic bag (such as Ziploc or Hefty bags). The bags may have a logo no larger than 4 inches by 3.4 inches. Bags carrying a properly sized logo of other teams or venues are permitted. Small clutches – 4½ inches by 6½ inches, or approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap – also can be taken into the stadium along with clear bags.
Exceptions will be made for approved medical bags or equipment, which will be inspected at designated gates. Prohibited items include, but are not limited to, purses larger than a clutch bag, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, drawstring bags, luggage of any kind, computer bags, camera bags, binocular cases, diaper bags and bags larger than the permissible size. Items in such bags – including diapers, wipes and other supplies for babies and small children – should be placed in an approved clear bag. Seat cushions measuring 16 by 16 inches are permitted, as are binoculars and cameras without cases. Blankets will be permitted but subject to a search. Guests are encouraged to bring only necessary items into the venues, and all fans and their belongings are subject to inspection at the entrances. Express entry lanes for those entering without a bag will be available at all gates. Guests carrying bags that do not meet the criteria will be asked to return them to their vehicles, hotel rooms or homes. In addition, a vendor will be available outside Notre Dame Stadium before football games to ship at cost bags or belongings that do not meet the University's policies. Approved bags are available for purchase at the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore and game-day merchandise locations and through online outlets. As always, fans can carry personal items in their pockets or jackets, including keys, makeup, feminine products, combs, phones, wallets and credit cards. The new policy also will apply to non-Notre Dame events, such as concerts, professional games and other reserve-ticketed events. The policy is available online here.
