Can anyone explain the logic of the uniform # on Notre Dame HS jerseys? Intentional or poor choice?

I found it was impossible to see the numbers from the stands, as it appeared to be a white #, with thin black outline, on a white jersey.

Someone I talked to thought it might be intentional, so # would not show up on film for scouting purposes. Is there any rule that #'s must be legible?

Any clarification/explanation would be appreciated.

Don't know if there is any rule requiring numbers to be readable, but there should be. Like you, I had no clue who was doing what on ND, because I simply could not read those numbers.

You need a 3/4 inch outline to be legal. It a terrible rule that needs to be fixed. Rule should be clearly contrasting colors from jersey.

I've heard that the ND coaches hate them as much as everyone else. They usually can order new jerseys every 4 years, so they're stuck with them for a couple more seasons

This is what I've heard as well. Supposedly they didn't turn out as planned and now they are stuck with them under their contract for a couple more years.

We have the same road uniform problem at the 'Ville. Parents joked last season that uniforms rendered our players invisible in the Bourbonnais snow bowl. Makes film study very difficult...
