Ha!Ha!Ha! whit a laugh, no1 irish kilts are not tartan, they are orange or green. the uniforms are straight oot of brigadoon. 7 ft tall, doin a highland fling. ah called ma wife and youngest daughter, and two of my youngest grandchildren in to have a look at this. whit a laugh we had, and wee lewis is only 7 months.........Haaaaaa!
@MrJimmyboy1972 I think they're wearing the school's colors....that would be the logical conclusion....way to jump to conclusions...but I agree otherwise...this was really poorly done...
I cannot believe how innaccurate and innapropriate this video is on so many levels. It actually manages to embarrass 4 different nations and peoples - It is definately NOT Irish despite the saffron coloured feather hackles, nor Scots despite the tartan, Spats, Sporrans and other Highland accotrements nor British despite the Redcoats. The dancing is a cartoon caricature of real Irish stepdance, the music an Americanised bunch of modern, non traditional rubbish and the marching - what a joke!!!
It is not hate, it is hurt that such a mockery is made of people who gave their all for the right to wear our traditional dress, and other parts of our heritage that were band during our genocide. The kilt is sacred to those of us from the highlands. This is to me, what wiping my arse with the Stars and Stripes would be to you. The kilt is a Highland garb, read your or rather my history, or contact me off line and I will be happy to explain more. No hate mate, just hurt.
@ScottishShorts Fair point. And as I'm not white, I more than understand strong sentiments of peoples who were targeted for genocide by foreign rulers. If it helps any, I only wanted to say that since this was started by a Scotsman from Glasgow at ND, it was meant as a tribute to your culture. And I'm sure they do it today because they take pride in their heritage. Thank you, I guess there's always more one can read and learn about re: another culture.
@SuperSparrow45 Go back andd read what I said. Remember the words of that great American Mark Twain.. Better to remain silent and have the world think you a fool than open your mouth and confirm thier suspicions
@ScottishShorts I don't know why you're telling me this. But you might want to read this little number.
"John Fyfe, a native of Glasgow, Scotland, and former employee of the University of Notre Dame, provided members with background and experience as to the proper way to dress, march, and act in public. Mr. Fyfe taught the Guard to act in a fashion similar to the stoic and silent members of the Irish Guards, British Guards, and Scots Guards from the Britain and Ireland."
@SuperSparrow45 hahahahahahahaha!!! that John Fyfe guys must have been a legend! he told you americans that they dress like that over in Scotland and you believed him! hahahahahahahah you must be as gullible as my little sister. Do you actualy think that the Scots Guards and the Irish Guards dress like that!!!! You guys must be as thick as pig sh*t!!
@ScottishShorts I just wish you knew more about your countries rich history to know that those are patterned after traditional Irish kilts, not Scottish.
@SuperSparrow45 No the scottish actually, HIGHLAND "war cloth" as is the Gaelic translation for the materials and actual garb is not presented here, the wee "cut off 8 feet of material to bring down the cost to the government.... British Government that is. The Irish kilt is not as pleated as the Highland and it is usually or traditionally made from different material. The pleat comes from the old days when the war garb was held closed by belt or rope.
@SuperSparrow45 The use by Irish people is quite recent and was largely nationalists in the later 19th/ early 20th century since older images appeared to show Gaelic Irish in kilts which were in fact lein-croich and not kilts. Later late 19th/ early 20th nationalist wore one colour kilts as did some Irish regiments in the British Army. Today Irish Defence Forces pipers wear a one colour kilt following on from this.
What the men in the video above is not Irish at all.
Why all the hate for the Yanks? This is just football pageantry at a university with multi-ethnic (European) influences. The name Irish stuck because they were the largest immigrant bloc that identified with the school. But a Scot at ND actually started this whole tradition.
With the wave of Eastern immigrants supposedly changing the face of Europe in several years, isn't it a good thing your American descendants have taken up the old traditions?
fer fecks sake. someone tell the septics that in irish dance the hand is never, never raised, only in scotish dance is the hand raised. jeeze the septics take a tradition and really show the rest of the world how to feck it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! makes yer proud to be irish!!!!!
@tevitarosa I disagree, MANY of us have a great sense of tradition and history. It's the HIGHLY vocal ignorant douche-balloons, that makes us all look like idiots.
You seriously need to pick up a Celtic history book, my friends.
There is no evidence recorded showing that kilts were ever worn or even known in Ireland until they came into contact with the Scots. The kilt was invented in the Highlands of Scotland during the 12th century.
this is fucking ridiculous

@SuperSparrow45 Did he now ... ?
Well, either John Fyfe never actually served in the Guards, or he was misunderstood by those at Notre Dame he sought to inform.
Either way, looking at this performance, it's all gone horribly wrong somewhere along the way.
