As the holiday season is fast approaching, so is the end of the college football season.
Here is list of the top 10 gifts that you might find on any Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan’s list. These gifts are sure to bring out the true fan in all of us.
Emerald Isle Game Merchandise – This is where it all started for Notre Dame this year. The Emerald Isle game, played in Ireland, kicked off this magical season against Navy. With gifts like T-shirts, jackets, and paraphernalia ranging from $10-$100, you’re sure to find something to remember this game at www.fansedge.com.
Echoes of Glory (DVD) – Although this DVD is a little older (2006), it is sure to stir up some nostalgia in any fan. For around $14 from www.amazon.com, this is a must for any Irish fan movie collection.
Rudy Jacket – Every fan that has seen the movie and has dreamt of walking on to the field just like Rudy did, so it would only be fitting to wear the jacket as well. It can be ordered at Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore for $280.
Adidas Red Sideline Signal Caller Hat – Now you can look like your favorite backup quarterback with this hat you can pick up at CBSsports.com shop for $20.
Shamrock Lei Shirt – One of the best moments of the season was when Notre Dame students, fans, and players rallied behind defensive captain Manti T’eo after the loss of his grandmother and girlfriend by wearing Hawaiian leis to show their support. Now you can remember that powerful moment with this T-shirt from the official Notre Dame store for only $18.
Go Irish $15 Tees – For an inexpensive way to show your support for the Irish, grab a Notre Dame T-shirt for only $15 or a hoodie for $30. Free shipping on all orders.
Fighting Irish 2012 Adidas Sideline Swagger Polo – This is the polo you see coaches and players wearing in pre and post game press conferences. You can get this at the official Notre Dame store in navy blue, green, or white for $65.
Play Like A Champion Today – Every fan of the Irish has dreamed about heading out on to the field and slapping this team sign. Own this autographed Lou Holtz version from www.art.com for $110 and get it framed while you’re visiting the site.
Notre Dame Jerseys for the Whole Family – Get a Notre Dame jersey for any member of your family (even the dog). As is Fighting Irish tradition, there are no names on the back of the jerseys, which makes these gifts last a lifetime. Prices range from under $30 and upwards of $200.
A National Championship – There is no website or shop zone for this one, just a nation of Irish faithful all hoping for a holiday miracle. It doesn’t cost much, but the return would be priceless.
