The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are one of the most iconic and legendary teams in the history of college football. However, it looks like one of the team's iconic logos will look a little bit different this season.
Notre Dame has two primary logos. The primary logo is its "ND" wordmark, which features an "N" layered on top of a "D," which obviously stands for Notre Dame. The secondary logo has long been a cartoon Leprechaun with its fist up, appearing ready for a fight.
Ahead of the 2025 college football season, Notre Dame is making a significant change to one of those logos.

I agree, BUT it IS “The “Fighting” Irish, isn’t it?
Long standing logos should never be changed.
A compromise would be using the new logo less the football and with his fists up as in the current logo.
