Notre Dame football will open the 2026 season with a fresh look, as the program unveiled the uniforms for its 13th edition of the Shamrock Series.

The uniform draws on history for its inspiration, with deep blue colors honoring the 1920s Acme Packers and striping details nodding to the design of today’s Green Bay Packers uniforms.
Eleven shamrocks line the back collar of the jersey, representing Notre Dame’s 11 consensus national championships.
The uniform numbers are inspired by the Paul Hornung era, honoring the Heisman Trophy winner who became a Packers icon and member of Green Bay’s first Super Bowl-winning team in 1967.
An American flag patch sits just above the heart, honoring the nation’s 250th anniversary.
Players also will wear custom cleats designed specifically for the matchup.
This marks the first Shamrock Series game since 2024. The series has been played 12 other times since 2009, with no games held from 2017-19, in 2021 or in 2023.

The series serves as a Notre Dame home game on the road and has previously been played at notable venues including the Alamodome, Yankee Stadium, Soldier Field and Fenway Park.
This season's neutral-site matchup will be the series’ first at Lambeau Field.
It also marks only the third college football game ever held at the historic venue, following St. Norbert vs. Fordham in 1983 and Wisconsin vs. LSU in 2016.
Lambeau Field was named after Curly Lambeau, a former Notre Dame player who founded the Green Bay Packers in 1919.
Notre Dame leads the all-time series against Wisconsin 9-2-6.
The teams last met in 2021, when the Irish beat the Badgers 41-13 at Soldier Field in the 10th edition of the Shamrock Series.
The game will kick off Sunday, Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
