I forgot to mention something in my last post. Like I said before the Irish tend to wear anything that is American as fashion. One of the strangest things I've seen here is the Iowa State look. Its just this one shirt. Its yellow and black striped with a huge cyclone logo on the front. I've seen several kids wearing it and even a stand up ( Read more... )
