Fighting Irish Catholics vs Committee Shirt – A New Rivalry Born

This t-shirt reimagines a classic piece of college football lore for a modern battle. The front features the bold, capitalized text “CATHOLICS VS. COMMITTEE”. “CATHOLICS” is rendered in a vibrant Fighting Irish green, while “COMMITTEE” stands out in a rich gold, both outlined to pop against the dark background. A minimalist graphic of a football with a diagonal strike-through sits below the text, symbolizing the rejected playoff bid.

This design is a witty and biting homage to the famous “Catholics vs. Convicts” t-shirts from the legendary 1988 Notre Dame vs. Miami game. It repurposes that rebellious spirit to target a new adversary: the College Football Playoff Selection Committee. This shirt is essential wear for the knowledgeable Notre Dame fan who appreciates program history and feels the team was unjustly excluded from the championship picture. It targets the “Irish” faithful who view the committee’s decision not just as a snub, but as a historic rivalry renewed.

Wearing this shirt is an act of defiance and solidarity. It channels the frustration of a fanbase that feels “robbed” into a unified, clever statement. It allows you to wear your grievance with pride, linking the current struggle to the fighting spirit of the past. It’s a conversation starter that instantly signals where your loyalty lies.
