Pick a color, any color
Matt Tarrant
sophomore


   This whole shirt thing is really annoying. First it's buy The Shirt so we can all be blue. Then it's wear pink for breast cancer awareness. Now it's buy a new shirt so we can all be green.

For a University with one of the most intelligent student bodies in the world, we are acting pretty dumb. Is it really that hard to pick a color? I don't care what it is, just pick one and everyone else support it.

In Friday's edition of The Observer the cover said wear green, but a few pages later the editorial said wear The Shirt. Come on! If it's purple polkadots I'll wear it as long as the other 80,000 or more people in Notre Dame stadium are.

We need to unite and make it a hostile environment for the opponents and give some energy to our team. As far as the breast cancer awareness thing, I support it. But maybe next time hand out pink ribbons. It was really cool when we all got together and held up those American flags, so lets finally pick a color, stick with it and move on.
