1940’s Game Used Notre Dame Sideline Sweatshirt - Jersey - Sweater

Offered here is an Outstanding 1940’s Game-Used Notre Dame Sideline Sweatshirt, a wonderful relic from the golden age of Fighting Irish football. This early team-issued garment beautifully reflects the grit, tradition, and pride associated with Notre Dame’s storied program during the mid-20th century.

Crafted of heavy wool-blend material in classic athletic style, this rugged sideline sweatshirt features “Notre Dame” lettering boldly applied across the chest. The piece exhibits fine period tailoring, with ribbed cuffs and waistband typical of the 1940’s athletic garments worn by players and coaches during cold game days at South Bend.

The sweatshirt demonstrates light use with natural wear. The fabric retains its integrity, and the lettering remains clear and vibrant — a testament to its quality construction. The interior collar area bears the original Sand Knit manufacturer’s tag, common suppliers to collegiate programs of the era.

Vintage Notre Dame sideline pieces from this period are exceptionally scarce, particularly in such appealing and original condition. A choice artifact of early college football history, this 1940’s Notre Dame sideline sweatshirt perfectly captures the character and spirit of the Fighting Irish gridiron tradition — a true prize for the collector of vintage football memorabilia.
