Lou Holtz Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1988 National Champions College Football Legends Vinyl Figure

Why the Lou Holtz Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1988 National Champions College Football Legends Vinyl Figure is a Must-Have

The Lou Holtz Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1988 National Champions College Football Legends Vinyl Figure freezes the season Notre Dame went 12-0, beat the No. 1-ranked Miami Hurricanes 31-30 in the “Catholics vs Convicts” game at Notre Dame Stadium in October, knocked off USC in Los Angeles in November and finished by dismantling West Virginia 34-21 in the Fiesta Bowl to claim the school’s 11th and most recent consensus national championship. Holtz arrived in South Bend in 1986 after stops at William & Mary, NC State, Arkansas and Minnesota, and the 1988 title remains the moment that cemented him in the Joyce Center rafters next to Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy and Ara Parseghian. This Lou Holtz vinyl figure turns that championship season into a shelf piece for the Subway Alumni.

The figure is sculpted in the modern oversized-head collectible vinyl style ?” big round black eyes, his trademark grey-white hair tucked under the cap, his signature thick-framed glasses on the nose and a small composed half-smile rather than an open-mouth shout. He’s wearing the navy Notre Dame coaching cap with the gold interlocking ND logo on the front, the heather-navy “NOTRE DAME” V-neck sweater with the gold ND logo on the chest, paired with khaki coaching trousers and black coaching shoes. His left hand holds a white playbook clipboard with hand-drawn X-and-O routes scribbled in black ink, and his right hand rests on the silver MacArthur Bowl trophy ?” the actual trophy awarded by the National Football Foundation to the 1988 national champions ?” standing on a wooden plinth stamped “NATIONAL CHAMPIONS ?” 1988 ?” NOTRE DAME”. The base is a circular green turf disc with the yellow-and-gold interlocking ND endzone-style logo painted across the field, edged with a navy band and a brushed-metal nameplate reading “LOU HOLTZ ?” NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH ?” 1988 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS”. He ships in a navy-and-gold “College Football Legends ?” Championship Series” window display box with “NOTRE DAME IRISH” speech-bubble call-out, the gold ND interlock at the top, “LOU HOLTZ ?” 1988 NATIONAL CHAMPION” header and the number 50 anniversary marker on the side.

Set it on the desk next to a “Play Like a Champion Today” replica plaque from the home tunnel at Notre Dame Stadium, hand it across as a retirement gift to a Subway Alumni member who watched the Miami game live in October 1988, or give it as a Christmas piece to a Notre Dame-loving household that still tunes in for every NBC home broadcast. Also lines up as a coaching-clinic gift for a high school football staff that runs Holtz-era option principles.
