Retired Plaid Sale

The plaid is the piece of official Notre Dame tartan that hangs off the left shoulder of today’s marching band uniforms. The idea for the plaid originated with former band director Robert F. O’Brien and was designed with the help of Frank Amussen. on March 11, 1970 it was submitted for approval to the Court of Lord Lyon in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was later adopted and trademarked by the University.

To order a plaid, simply fill out and return the order form. You may purchase as many plaids as you wish at a rate of $50.00 per plaid.

What better gift for a former band member or die-hard Irish fan than a piece of Notre Dame history.
