When it comes to the culture at ND my opinion is far more credible than the opinion of someone who never attended ND !I’m a Notre Dame graduate who has lived and understands the ND culture & traditions as well. I loved the white pants and think it’s a great alternative uniform look.
Also, going to ND doesn’t make your opinion any more valid compared to a diehard fan. If my grandfather didn’t love ND (even though he didn’t attend) I probably would not have attended myself, therefor, is my opinion superior to his even though his influence helped me attend the university?
