The school unveiled a brand new football-specific leprechaun logo, that shows the school mascot running with a football. This is the first in a series of sport-specific leprechaun logos that will be used by the university on its apparel. The university's official football account announced the logo with an awesome video.

"The Leprechaun represents the tenacious and determined spirit of the Fighting Irish, a relentless desire to seize every opportunity with unity, clarity and purpose though the odds be great or small," Notre Dame said in a statement. "This logo, drawn from a legacy known around the world, represents Fighting Irish Football."

According to NBC News, a spokeswoman from Notre Dame said that the creation of the new logo started in 2024.
