notre-dame-jerseys

So far in our 2015 holiday guides we’ve covered calendars, tailgating gifts, and polo shirts. Today we profile one of the most obvious and cherished of all Notre Dame gifts. The Notre Dame jersey – specifically the Notre Dame football jersey. A new Notre Dame jersey will put a smile on anyone’s face on the morning of December 25th. It’s the type of gift that you really just can’t go wrong with.

Notre Dame Road Jersey

#9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Under Armour Premier Football Performance Jersey

After collecting all of the links for this post I realized the majority of the jerseys I picked out were the classic home navy jerseys so I figured we’d start this off with a white, road jersey in the #9. A lot of great players have worn the #9 for the Fighting Irish and this “premier” jersey is a great option if you want a jersey that is higher quality but not the full price of an authentic. If you are unfamiliar with the jersey “tiers”, the premier jerseys have some sewn on elements instead of screen printed numerals but are substantially cheaper than the “authentic” jerseys which can retail for $200. These are a great middle ground option.

Golden Tate Notre Dame Jersey

Golden Tate Notre Dame Fighting Irish No. 23 Replica College Jersey – Navy Blue

One of the most recent all-time greats for Notre Dame, Golden Tate had one of the best seasons a wide receiver has ever had for the Fighting Irish in 2009. Tate, a converted high school running back, made big play after big play for Notre Dame in 2009 on his way to winning the Biletnikoff Award. Tate has gone on to have great success in the NFL including a career high 1,331 yards for the Detroit Lions in 2014. This is a great jersey for a younger Notre Dame fan you might be shopping for this year.

2015 Shamrock Series Jersey

No. 8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Under Armour 2015 Shamrock Series Premier Football Jersey

Liked the jerseys Notre Dame wore a few weeks ago in Fenway Park against Boston College? Then here’s the jersey for you. The jersey itself had some mixed reviews, but I though these were the best jerseys to date in the Shamrock Series and would certainly not be upset if I was the recipient of one of these later this month. There were some other numbers produced for this jersey, but all that remains in stock this holiday season is #8.

Michael Floyd Notre Dame Jersey

Michael Floyd Notre Dame Fighting Irish No. 3 Replica College Jersey – Navy Blue

Another former player jersey on our list, Michael Floyd was another wide receiver who left his mark at Notre Dame. The current owner of many all-time Notre Dame receiving records, Floyd returned for his senior season in 2011 to etch his name in the Notre Dame record books. Of course, his place in the Notre Dame record books could be in jeopardy in 2016. Still, Floyd was an all-time great for the Fighting Irish and the nice thing about picking up a former player jersey is, you don’t really have to worry about explaining whose jersey it s in 3-4 years.

Kids Notre Dame Jersey

Notre Dame Fighting Irish Under Armour Youth No.5 Premier Football Jersey

Shopping for a young Notre Dame fan? There are plenty of options for youth jerseys from Fanatics as well. This #5 jersey is available in both blue and white in youth sizes. Many Notre Dame legends have worn this number throughout history and this jersey is sure to put a big smile on the face of any youngster who is the lucky recipient of it this holiday season. There is also a #9 jersey available for youths, but there are very few sizes left at this point. There is also a youth Notre Dame jersey available for #1 as well.

#25 Replica Notre Dame Jersey

#25 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Under Armour Replica Football Jersey

Another iconic number for Notre Dame, this #25 jersey comes in blue and white and is available in men and women’s styles. There is also an authentic version of this jersey, but be warned, the price tag is just a tad under $200. Personally, I’ve gone back and forth on buying a Notre Dame jersey since I haven’t owned one in many years and if I were to get one, I think #25 might be the one I go with.

Women’s Notre Dame Jersey

#9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Under Armour Women’s Replica Football Jersey

Speaking of women’s jerseys, here is a jersey perfect for the lady in your life or that special lady you are shopping for this holiday season. The #9 jersey is the top selling Notre Dame women’s jersey on Fanatics currently and all sizes are currently in stock. One word or warning though here if you are ordering this for your wife or girlfriend… make sure you order the right size and when in doubt, order smaller. Fanatics offers a really good return policy and if you order a size too large, you will never hear the end of it.

Justin Tuck Notre Dame Jersey

Justin Tuck Notre Dame Fighting Irish No. 44 Replica College Jersey

Ok, I know I have two former player jerseys on the list already, but I would be remiss if I didn’t include Justin Tuck’s jersey on this list since it’s in stock currently. Justin Tuck is one of my all-time favorites at Notre Dame and it’s not just because he follows UHND on Twitter and occasionally responds to our tweets. Ok, so maybe that is one of the reasons, but aside from that, he’s one of my favorites since he’s the last great pass rusher Notre Dame has had and I have many times contemplated what the 2005 Fighting Irish might have looked like had he returned for a 5th season.
