Loving Irish Pride Tee Shirts

By Simon Francois


If you are between the ages of 21 and 30, then there is a good chance that you really like to party hard on all of those holidays that involve getting out with your friends and drinking. Saint Patrick's Day is one of those holidays, and it is the best of them in my opinion. On all of those other holidays you either don't have an excuse to dress crazy or everyone else is dressed just as crazy as you are. On Saint Patrick's Day, you can wear your popular Irish tshirts and other things to really stand out.

Wearing green on St. Patrick's Day is something that people have been doing since the 1600's. That's an awful long time ago, but when the holiday first came into being people actually wore blue to honor the Saint. Clovers and green are tied to Saint Patrick's Day because clovers were a tool that the vaunted missionary used to teach the people of Ireland about Jesus Christ and the Holy Trinity. All the way down from those early days we finally get shots of whiskey and Irish pride tees. Weird, right?

I love seeing all of the awesome Irish tshirts that people are wearing these days. You can go out on St. Patrick's Day and not see the same two, which is pretty amazing considering how many folks buy their clothes from Wal-Mart these days. The Internet has a lot to do with how many different options are available to people too, since ever website out there selling shirts is going to have a section dedicated to the holiday.

I have to admit that I am the nuttiest person you'll ever meet on Saint Patrick's Day. I dress in the most insane getup you can imagine, and I change my outfit every year. Last year I wore my traditional Irish t-shirt, but I put sequins all over it so that I glittered where ever I walked. I also had a green sports jacket that I sewed a massive clover to the back of. All in all, it was a really great costume and no one wore anything nearly as eye-catching that night.

Being that one guy in the pub who stands out from everyone because of the absurd outfit you're wearing will always get you some free drinks. People love it because you become almost like a mascot for the pub when you go all out and stand out from the sea of other people who are just wearing green or cheap Irish shirts. When you let go of you inhibitions and tell yourself not to be embarrassed, it's really fun to be the most well-liked person in the room for one night.
