Anyway, after their town was basically half-wiped out in 2008 by a F5 tornado, the news coverage they received brought attention to the town and the high school. With that, Notre Dame discovered that Chapman High School called themselves The Fighting Irish and were using the leprechaun mascot. Instead of somehow allowing them to keep their mascot, Notre Dame chose instead to require the school to change their logo. So now they have a new logo, and they are the Chapman Irish instead of The Fighting Irish...
Petty... and another reason for me to despise Notre Dame.

The NCAA doesn't fuck around with their logos and will chase any place that uses them and that makes sense. The NFL is much more generous with the use of their logos.
