    Not really Irish is it, shouldn't it be a shamrock, just wondering.

    That's what I thought. Maybe someone thought it was good to change to because of its association with good luck?

    Well we never started out in the hoops but things change and become iconic, and both have and will be our main symbols forever

    Understand that and it shouldn't be changed, but where did the clover come from, it's hardly Irish, Scottish or Glaswegian

    Not sure if you have an agenda here or not.

    But it's a variation of a regular three leafed clover and traditionally is thought to bring luck so might be to do with that. So to say it is is "hardly Irish" is a bit off the mark.

    No agenda, don't even know what you mean by that.

    So the four leaf clover is lucky, luck of the Irish, pots of gold etc
