Notre Dame Traditions
Notre Dame athletes haven't always competed under the nickname
"Fighting Irish." They were the "Catholics"
during the 1800s, and became more widely known as the "Ramblers"
during the early 1920s.
In 1927, University president Rev. Matthew Walsh, C.S.C., officially
adopted "Fighting Irish" as the Notre Dame nickname.
The most generally accepted explanation is that the media penned
the nickname to reflect the never-say-die fighting spirit, and
the Irish qualities of grit and tenacity of Notre Dame athletes.
Although Notre Dame's official athletic colors have been listed
as gold and blue for many years, the color of the Irish home football
jersey has switched back and forth between blue and green for
more than 50 years.
The origin of Notre Dame's school colors goes back to the founding
of the University. At the time of its founding in 1842, Notre
Dame's original school colors were yellow and blue. Yellow symbolized
the light and blue the truth. However, sometime after the Dome
and Statue of Mary atop the Main Building were gilded, gold and
blue became the official colors of the Notre Dame.
The Leprechaun hasn't always been the official mascot of Notre
Dame either. For many years, the team was represented by a number
of Irish terrier dogs. The first Irish terrier mascot was named
Brick Top Shuan-Rhu. Brick Top Shuan-Rhu was donated by Charles
Otis of Cleveland and presented to Irish head coach Knute Rockne
prior to the Notre Dame-Pennsylvania game on Nov. 8, 1930.
A number of terriers later assumed the role of the school mascot,
and usually took the name Clashmore Mike. The Clashmore Mike mascot
last made an appearance on the cover of the 1963 Notre Dame Football
Dope Book with coach Hugh Devore and captain Bob Lehmann. The
Leprechaun was named the official mascot in 1965. For more information
