Tagline commemorating 125 years of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football
-
I was tasked with writing a tagline to commemorate the 2012 season / 125th anniversary of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football. After a lot of research and concepting, I wrote 75 taglines, ultimately presenting just over 30. One of those lines—Strong and True—was from “Notre Dame, Our Mother,” the University’s alma mater. It was selected, the football team went 12-0, and, on January 7, will compete against Alabama for the National Championship. You’re welcome.
