White Outs, Blackouts, now Green Outs. The “[INSERT COLOR] Outs” are sort of F-ed out, but they serve a purpose. Showing solidarity and using any freaking means necessary to try to intimidate an opponent and let them know they’re not in freaking Kansas. So because of that, we here at HLS support this effort.
The sad part is, it won’t work. Why? 2 main reasons.
1) ND has so many damn colors. Blue. (and that means every shade of blue ever to sell more stuff). Gold. (and that means every shade of gold, to sell more stuff). And Green. (and that means. nevermind, you know). Getting everyone on the same page at ND is nearly impossible.
2) Weather. It’s going to be freaking cold. So to get everyone in the same color, you need everyone to have the same color jacket/sweatshirt/other outerwear. To get solidarity around a T-shirt at ND is tough. Now you need to get everyone a green snowsuit, or you need to get them XXXXL t-shirts that will fit OVER those huge puffy winter coats that I no longer own bc I live in LA where its warm all the time. (HA). It’s going to be tough.
Despite this, we’re doing our best here to spread the word – fight the good fight, Irish fans, and get your GREEN ON. Literally. Wear green. Spray paint your old jacket green. Get a green hat. Green is the new black. Or whatever. Let’s make it happen.
Bring your green hat snoop-a-loop!
As long as it’s green, it can’t be mean.
Go Irish!
Don't take me, yourself, or life so seriously. This is supposed to be fun.
Biscuit co-founded HerLoyalSons in partnership with his ND roommate (Dillon Hall baby!), MQ, in 2006 and has been ranting about ND Football and everything Notre Dame since. He strongly believes in the mission of ND and its football program. Biscuit expects logic and data in arguments and will absolutely crush you if you come to a debate missing one or the other. He despises everything Michigan, and his favorite pastime is mocking Purdue.

White out is a product. I have some in my desk right now.
If the lights were to go out all across town, I would consider that a black out.
What is a green out? Can we stop using this terminology? Michigan had a fucking maize out. Maize. A maize out sounds like something my parents did in the 60’s.
I have no problem wearing green (I agree though with the cold weather it’s not going to work, unless Carhart starts making outfits in green) but can we just come up with something better than green out?
What if the school just put out a press release that said: “USC sucks balls, wear green.” I think that would work just as well.
