Notre Dame

We’re not talking about the interlocked ND logo. That logo is fine, but it’s not nearly as recognizable and iconic as the Fighting Irish logo. The interlocked ND is honestly an ugly logo and there is a reason why Notre Dame does not put it on their helmets. They are inherently embarrassed by it, but it’s been around forever, so they don’t change it. They just use the Fighting Irish logo more.

What would happen if the Notre Dame logo fought the Boston Celtics logo?

It may seem like a mismatch on paper. The Notre Dame logo is known for its fighting acumen. He has his hands up, balled into a fist, and ready to throw down at a moments notice. He’s had to fight Cardinals, Blue Devils, Demon Deacons, Wildcats, Trojans, Hurricanes, and Trees over the years. Those are no slouches. The Celtics leprechaun is facing numbers, lakes, and a sword without an owner. Not exactly tough competition.

But here’s the thing, the Celtics leprechaun has a shillelagh and there is some performance enhancing drugs in his pipe. Yes, ground clover is considered a performance enhancing drug. It’s how Nick and Nate Diaz became two of the best fighters in the the world.

Now, I’d still give the edge to the Notre Dame logo. He has the experience and has fought better competition. But don’t count out the Celtics logo. Not only does he have a shillelagh and is on PEDs, but he has more lucky clovers and is supremely confident. Probably because he’ll be cornered by Brad Stevens and not Mike Brey.
