Notre Dame students have been wearing “The Shirt” to home football games since 1990 to unite in support of their team. Over time, other members of the Notre Dame community have adopted the tradition.p. The project, sponsored by Student Activities and the Notre Dame Alumni Association, also raises funds ‘some $2 million in 12 years ? for scholarships, student organizations and to aid students and others in need.

"We’re gonna go, go, go! And we aren’t going to stop until we go over that goal line!" ? completes the image.p.
