In honor of President Obama's Irish heritage I chose the Irish Shield Flag patch for today's post. You can find it in the National Shield Patches category if you want to take a look at it. It's a 2.75" x 2.75" shield bearing the colors of the Irish flag: green, white, and red. It carries the same shape and styling as any other shield and is perfect for a front pocket, a soccer jersey, or the like.
What? You didn't know Obama was Irish? Well, according to a speech he made yesterday on the Emerald Isle his a great grandfather lived and worked in Ireland three generations ago. I know it sounds ridiculous, but perhaps we're just suffering from a misspelling of the president's named. Perhaps it should be Barack O'Bama. Seriously, folks - is there anything too shameless for this president? I wonder. Anyway, sorry for preaching.
If you are Irish, or of Irish descent, this shield patch is perfect for you. You can use the iron-on backing to attach it to your favorite jersey, T-shirt, jacket, or even gym shorts. If you're an Irish biker, you can sew it to your leather jacket or vest. You could even use super glue to attach it to your helmet. How awesome would that be?! The point is that it's time for all of you Irish folk out there to stand up and be proud of your heritage. Order a handful today!
