From a true irishman (living in and loving Ireland) all I can say is that I'm not envious of the logo. I know its for an american football team which we don't follow at all over here (Hurling or Gealic Football all the way!) I think its too stereotypical, the use of shamrocks to show something Irish is so over done, our own Irish Tourist Board (www.tourismireland.com) couldn't find a design agency with enough originality to create something clever! Oh well, as an american football team logo, I suppose it works but I find it boring. Suppose I should stop complaining and try to design my own irish tourism logo! ;)
Tern... I just wanted to let you know I am Irish as well living in the USA. This logo was for a fan website of the University of Notre Dame. Their collegate logos are that of a shamrock and a lepperchaun. So therefore that is the reason this imagery was used.

I understand why you used the imagery, my complaint was not so much at your logo just at the shamrock itself as a cliche for ireland. The majority of people who look at your logo will love it because it tics all the boxes and is very well crafted, I'm just raising an issue about an over used image, it would be great to see something fresh that also says Irish. As I said before, a personal project perhaps?! ;)
