Notre Dame and Under Armour unveiled the Irish's new "Rockne Heritage" uniforms on social media Friday. The new uniforms were inspired by College Football Hall of Fame coach Knute Rockne and will be worn during Notre Dame's home game againstNavy on Nov. 18.

The jerseys will honor the late coaching legend with quotes from his famous pregame "fight, fight, fight" speech. The jerseys also will feature a throwback "ND" monogram and three stars to represent his three national championships. Plus, the Irish will wear leather-themed helmets and cleats that are a nod to the equipment worn by players during Rockne's time as coach (1918-1930).

Each player also will have "Rockne" embroidered on the back of his jersey to celebrate the name that's synonymous with Notre Dame football.
