The school unveiled a brand new football-specific leprechaun logo, that shows the school mascot running with a football. This is the first in a series of sport-specific leprechaun logos that will be used by the university on its apparel. The university's official football account announced the logo with an awesome video.

With the SEC making changes to its future football schedules, Notre Dame should see more games against the power conference.

The new Leprechaun will feature on Notre Dame's sidelines during home games this season and, according to the announcement, into the future. Its design, developed by the university's in-house media team, was inspired "by photo, fundamentals and running styles from former and current student-athletes."
