Vintage Notre Dame Kappa Long-Sleeve T-Shirt

This is a vintage long-sleeve t-shirt, likely made from cotton or a cotton blend, in a deep forest green color. The shirt is laid flat, revealing its general rectangular shape with extended sleeves. The fabric appears to be soft and somewhat worn, exhibiting various creases and wrinkles consistent with use and storage. On the front left chest area, there is a visible graphic print in white. The print features the Kappa logo, which consists of two silhouetted figures leaning against each other. Below or around this logo, the words "NOTRE DAME" are prominently displayed, likely indicating a collegiate affiliation with the University of Notre Dame. There are additional smaller lines of text above and below the main "NOTRE DAME" text, though these are largely illegible from the image provided. The stitching along the hems and seams appears to be intact, suggesting reasonable craftsmanship. No obvious tears, holes, or significant stains are discernible, but the overall patina suggests an item that has seen some wear over time. The collar is a standard crew neck, and the sleeves end in cuffed wrists, typical of long-sleeve t-shirts. The shirt does not appear to have any damage, but the creases indicate it has not been recently laundered or ironed. Given the Kappa branding and Notre Dame affiliation, this item likely dates from the late 20th century to early 2000s, reflecting a popular sportswear style of that era. The general construction and fabric suggest it was mass-produced but made to be durable for everyday wear.
