Hockey Releases Specialty Jerseys Ahead Of Friendship Four – Notre Dame Fighting Irish – Official Athletics Website

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – With the University of Notre Dame hockey program’s first ever international trip fast approaching, the team, in partnership with Under Armour and Fanatics, have released a specialty jersey for the Friendship Four tournament in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

The navy jersey features a gold script “Irish” across the chest along with a unique, stylized nameplate font specifically for the tournament. Each letter is inspired by the letter-forms seen in the historic Book of Kells.

The numbers on the back and both sleeves of the jersey are also inspired by those found in the Book of Kells, with the numbers adorning the back of the sweater featuring the Notre Dame Celtic Knot running through the center.

The shoulder patches are a design specific for the tournament with a specialized celtic knot woven into the shape of two hockey sticks and face-off circles, representing the two games set to be played by the Irish in Belfast.
