History: One of the most recognizable mascots in all of collegiate athletics is the Notre Dame Leprechaun. He was designed by sports artist Theodore Drake in 1964 for the sum of just $50. The live Leprechaun made his first appearance on the sidelines in 1960 along side the Notre Dame Cheerleaders and is now world famous. Prior the the Leprechaun, the ND mascots were represented by Irish Terriers that usually went by the name of Clashmore Mike. The Leprechaun was named the official mascot in 1965. The Fighting Irish football team of today play their home games at historic Notre Dame Stadium where they have been doing so since 1930. Play like a Champion Today!
This ballcap is currently only available as an adjustable.

Measuring Guide
We offer three kinds of ballcap visors:
Pre-1940 ballcaps were made with soft visors so players could fold them up and put them in their back pockets. Later visors were done in standard (stiff visor) or short (also a soft visor). Check the product details to see which type of visor each cap has.
