Via the Notre Dame Equipment twitter feed a photo of the helmet Notre Dame will wear for their “Shamrock Series Game” versus Maryland this weekend. Yikes! It’s safe to say that if Rudy Ruettiger had to wear this shamrock design he would’ve opted for another school. Okay maybe not, but it’s still pretty cheesy. Pro tip, Notre Dame: Stick with the solid gold helmet.

With the NCAA Tourney beginning [for realsies] this year on St. Patrick’s Day, is it a sign from the Irish Gods that it just might be the Fighting Irish’s year? If not, this pic is a nice default way of saying — Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!
