Former Leprechaun Collins Apologizes for Discontinued Campus Art Shirts w/ $1 Signed Books

http://getwisefool.com/collections/hail-mary

Former Fightin' Irish Leprechaun Daniel Colt Collins, Founder of Surf City, USA based Lifestyle Brand "WiseFool" has issued an apology for the discontinuation of shirts featuring original campus photo art due to a misunderstanding with the University of Notre Dame.  His apology comes in the form of a new "Hail Mary" line of hoodies, crewnecks, and tees to benefit the Holy Cross Missions in Bangladesh through donations of 100% proceeds to the Bengal Bouts Boxing Program, as well as signed and personalized copies of his autobiography "Life as the Notre Dame Leprechaun" for only $1.


Official explaination via www.getwisefool.com:

New Shirts & Discounted Books offered as apology to WiseFool fanbase.

Campus Photo Art Shirts Discontinued due to misunderstanding with University of Notre Dame. ND felt that original works of wearable art infringed upon their intellectual property. WiseFool disagreed, but offered up 100% of proceeds to charity anyways. Notre Dame refused.

WiseFool Founder Daniel Colt Collins designed the Hail Mary Series in response, paying homage to those moments when all you can do is Toss Up a Prayer. Sometimes that prayer gets caught.  Sometimes not.  Either way, we play on.

Keep the Wisely Foolish Spirit with you while you tailgate this fall. Feel good knowing 100% proceeds benefit Holy Cross Missions in Bangladesh, empowering the impoverished through donations to the Men's Boxing Program at Notre Dame. Get wise with a FREE signed & personalized copy of Collins' book "Life as the Notre Dame Leprechaun" (published by Corby Books) with each of the first 42 shirts sold.

While you're at it, pick up one of the final 42 remaining copies of Collins' book for just $1.  In his "tell-all" autobiographical account, Collins shares the shocking details of his trials and tribulations while serving as his Alma Mater's foremost ambassador.  All books come signed & personalized by Collins.  Simply note your requested message at checkout.

Get Wise. 
Stay Foolish.

Leprechaun Quote Countdown: #10

Only 10 days separate us from the 2013 edition of Notre Dame Football...

It's a familiar feeling for every Fighting Irish fan.
The hype seems almost palpable during this exciting time of year, and IRISH CREED writer / former Fightin' Irish Leprechaun Daniel Colt Collins is proud to announce the release of his brand new behind-the-scenes tell-all book:


In this autobiographical account, Daniel Colt Collins presents a never-before-seen insider's look into life at Notre Dame from his own first-hand perspective as he shares unforgettable stories about becoming the face of the Fighting Irish.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, IRISH CREED will release 10 quotes from "Life as the Notre Dame Leprechaun" leading up to the season opener in Notre Dame Stadium.

Quote #10 comes from the book's prelude, which captures what it feels like to take that first charge out of the tunnel onto the field in front of 81,000 Fighting Irish fans.


“Notre Dame Stadium filled to the brim with an electric charge…
I triumphantly waved the Blue and Gold to our sellout crowd and millions more watching on TV…  An inescapable smile spread across my face while I paused to take it all in.  A wildly unlikely journey had brought me to this unforgettable moment in my life, and an even more unbelievable story was about to unfold…”



"Life as the Notre Dame Leprechaun: Behind the Face of the Fighting Irish" is now available in the Notre Dame Bookstore and online at www.LeprechaunBook.com.

Every copy bought online comes personally autographed by Daniel Colt Collins.

Every online purchase also qualifies as an automatic entry into the Lucky Leprechaun Hat Sweepstakes, awarding one lucky fan with an autographed game-worn Notre Dame Fighting Irish Leprechaun Hat at the conclusion of football season.

May the Luck of the Irish be with you!
