Notre Dame
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish has a good tradition when it comes down to football. As a result, University of Notre Dame merchandise sales like a Notre Dame blanket have shot through the roof.

Everybody remembered the Fighting Irish’s abysmal season last year. It was their worst season in the history of their school. You would have expected the fans to go into hiding after the first embarrassing losses but they proudly stayed there. One dude even had a Notre Dame flag but the school spirit didn’t help. It should come as no surprise that USC beat Notre Dame in a cakewalk. Notre Dame and USC have had good games in the past and the Notre Dame football merchandise that has been sold for these games should speak for itself.
