Notre Dame College Apparel – The Fighting Irish Connection

In addition, our expertise extends beyond Ireland’s shores. For a number of years we have worked with iconic institutions like Notre Dame College Football in America. Known as the “Fighting Irish,” their deep Irish connections make them a natural partner for us. With apparel that incorporates the college’s unmistakable branding and Irish heritage. We combine cultural pride with collegiate spirit.

The collections we have worked on for Notre Dame have an enthusiastic American edge while still being clearly traditional craft quality apparel. They resonate with alumni, fans, and those with Irish roots or an interest in Irish culture abroad. Each piece of bespoke apparel connects wearers with the college’s proud fighting Irish legacy and its ties to Ireland.

 

Items that we’ve produced for Notre Dame are available in many retailers at home and abroad. This includes O’Neill’s Sports wear, a staple at home. (known abroad as the home of the Paul Mescal shorts.)  As well as, Carrols Irish Gifts and our airport retailers in Dublin and Shannon. Abroad the garments are available on campus, in the Notre Dame spirit shop, the official fighting Irish shop and the counties of Ireland shop.

 

Subsequently, we have been involved in the production of exclusive collaborations, like the Guinness X Notre Dame Range, which is available on the Guinness Store House website.

Craftsmanship Rooted in Tradition

The secret to creating outstanding apparel lies in combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary style. At Traditional Craft, we use a variety of techniques to ensure each item is of the highest quality. For example…

  • Embroidery: This classic technique adds texture and detail to our garments, giving each item a premium feel. Our embroidery work brings college crests, logos, and designs to life in vivid detail. A detail that lasts after many washes and wears.
  • Screen Printing: Perfect for bold designs and vibrant colors, screen printing is a popular choice for college apparel. Whether it’s a club logo or a commemorative design, screen printing ensures the final product stands. Right now a popular print trend has been a matching chest and back print.

Above all, we are proud of our Irish heritage, and much of our design and production takes place locally here in Ireland. This commitment to craftsmanship ensures that every item we produce is made with care, attention to detail, and a love for Irish design. As a result, we have created a strong client relationship. They know we will provide high quality designs that exceed their expectations.
