It's almost here! Just a few more days until The Shirt 2014 arrives at the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore! Mark your calendars and get ready for an awesome event.

The fun starts at 4:30, when the line for The Shirt will open! Come early for performances by AcoustiCafe, hip-hop dance group Project Fresh, the Notre Dame Bagpipe Band, Irish dancers, the Notre Dame Pom Squad and the Glee Club. Throughout the evening, we will also have Shirt trivia, raffles, a photo booth, coloring and face painting.

From 5:45 to 6 p.m., we'll have several guest appearances, including a joke from Sergeant Tim McCarthy of the Indiana State Police. At 6 p.m., football coach Brian Kelly will officially unveil the new Shirt! Anyone with a ND/SMC/HCC ID can purchase up to two Shirts at 15% off the sale price (at the unveiling ceremony only!).

A live stream of the unveiling will be broadcast here at theshirt.nd.edu - check back soon for more information!
