Notre Dame Fans Continue To Trash Alabama With Offensive National Championship T-Shirts

In the month leading up to Notre Dame's first trip to the national championship game in more than two decades, Irish faithful have created a series of T-shirts bashing their opponent, Alabama.

Notre Dame is winning the trash-talking battle with the series of racy shirts, but the last thing Notre Dame needs is to provide a feisty Crimson Tide team and fan base with any source of motivation before the game.

Maybe Alabama will take the shirts for their comedic value.

Eleven days to the BCS National Championship game:

Former Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen drew criticism from the public less than two weeks ago when he tweeted out a photo of this shirt:

And here's the latest pro-Notre Dame shirt:

Not an easy search. The bowl is now played at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, a Miami suburb. The old OB was in Miami. Still can’t figure why the hair split but the bowl logos and most news items call it South Florida.

I live near Tuscaloosa, and I am a long time Bama fan. These T-shirts don't rise to the level of being offensive. ND fans are nervous, and this is a way of expressing their fear. Frankly, the majority of students at Alabama weren't alive when ND was relevant. There is far more banter between rival SEC teams than there ever will be with ND.

In the early 1950s I and friends use to hunt quail where the Sun Life (Joe Robbie) Stadium sits.
Also water ski in the canal using a old Chevy to pull us. The canal was man made and had a gravel road running on the south side. The road extended to what is now Flamingo road coming from Broward Co.

Looking forward to ND beating Bama......they have too much team speed for the Tide.....and their defense is gonna shut down Bama’s one dimensional offense. Looking forward to an end of the SEC’s lucky national championship run......it’s created the most arrogant and obnoxious fan base in the nation.....most of whom never attended college

A bunch of classless rich people who think it’s sportsmanlike to trash talk.

I think it's funny. Kids pretty harmlessly taunting other kids [y'know, like they've always done]. Are you really that bothered by it?

I live in south bend, and the only thing they teach at notre dame is how to be an elitist. They are the most overrated team, and will probably get their clocks cleaned.

"You should have been disabused of that notion the first time they honored obama with an honorary degree"

Obama made them cover all crosses/crucifix while he was on campus.

I'm mostly in Notre Dame's corner but coverings just because of Obama really chapped me.

ND will have to win me back before I wear the real ND t-shirts again.

If by "shamer" you mean someone who shames those colleges and universities who cheat and break the rules for their athletic programs, yes, that would be me.

"Putting on their uniforms should be all the motivation that players need to go out and try to win the game."

Absolutely. And, THEY SHOULD still meet for prayer before they go out on field.

Considering its POTUS Obama, I judge, too.
