That said, I always have some reservations about Saint Patrick’s Day-related symbols, thanks to some personal experiences I’ve had along the way. Some people I’ve met seem use the holiday as a counterpoint to minority-focused events (black history month, etc). Despite having an Irish last name, I’m cautious about the message wearing such a jersey might send, as it could unintentionally align with the notion of celebrating a ‘white people holiday’ rather than just my team and their heritage. Am I crazy?
