I got  their football jersey on E-bay. Their official site is quite expensive. I know a few lads bought from here:

Glad your all stocking up on your Fighting Irish merchandise because:

Navy vs Notre Dame to play in Ireland
The legendary Navy - Notre Dame football series got a 10-year extension this week and - as part of the new deal - the teams agreed to face off in Dublin, Ireland in 2012. Navy & Notre Dame last played in Dublin in 1996, a game the Irish won 54-27. The 2012 Dublin game will be a "home" game for Navy.

Any ideas how much these sites charge for shipping to the UK ? i know it would only be a rough estimate.

Will there be objections from the usual begrudgers if this is held in Croke Park ?

It will be in Croke Park - like the last time

Sure begob the Nortre Dame Fighting Irish represent everything that is good and pure about Irish culture. We'd never know what Irish emigrants to US looked like back in the 19th century only for their simian faced mascot.

Do you even know why they are called the Fighting Irish - it has nothing to do with Irish culture

I know it has nothing to do with Irish culture. In fact, Nortre Dame is zero percent Irish. However they call themselves the Fighting Irish and use a derogatory symbol that is like something out of Punch Magazine.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

this is derogatory???






Do you think the same about the Lucky Charms fella?

[Turlough O Carolan]

If they call themselves "The Irish", and use that as a representation of what Irish means, then yes it is derogatory. Those were the types of symbols used by Punch magazine in the 19th century to depict Irish emigrants as an ignorant Simian race.
