Catholics vs Convicts 1988 Classic T Shirt

We hope this product will become your next favorite item. As you may know, "Catholics vs. Convicts" is a phrase that originated from a college football game between the University of Notre Dame and the University of Miami in 1988. The two teams had a fierce rivalry at the time, and the game was particularly contentious due to the differing religious affiliations of the two schools. Notre Dame is a Catholic university, while the University of Miami is a non-denominational private institution.

The phrase "Catholics vs. Convicts" was coined by a Notre Dame student who was selling t-shirts outside the stadium before the game. The shirts featured the phrase alongside a caricature of a Miami player wearing a prison uniform. The slogan caught on quickly and became a rallying cry for Notre Dame fans during the game.

The game itself was a hard-fought battle that ended with Notre Dame winning 31-30 in the final seconds. The phrase "Catholics vs. Convicts" has since become a cultural touchstone and is often used to refer to the intense rivalries that can develop between sports teams or other groups with strongly held beliefs or identities.

While the phrase has been criticized for its derogatory connotations, particularly in its use of the term "convicts," it remains a memorable and iconic moment in college sports history.
