Welp! This year definitely won't be going down as the Irish's favorite St. Patrick's Day!

Urban Outfitters already offended them with their stereotypical clothing, and now so has Nike!

As soon as they unveiled their Nike SB Dunk Low (aka the Black & Tans), Irish groups dropped their jaws.

The shoe was meant to pay homage to a popular St. Patty's Day drink mix of stout and lager. But unbeknownst to Nike, "the Black and Tans" were originally a British paramilitary group known for brutally assaulting civilians during the Irish Revolution.

Ouch…

Nike apologized of course, insisting there was no intent or knowledge of the horrific history associated with the term. But maybe next time they should hire someone to do a lil' Google research!

Irish Americans are not okay with Urban Outfitter's newest collection of St. Patrick's Day clothing.

Finding the clothes offensively perpetuating negative stereotypes, letters are pouring in asking the retailer to pull the line.

Even congressmen are getting involved!

SO adorable!

Check out the photo of Irish gal/How I Met Your Mother star Alyson Hannigan out and about celebrating St. Patrick's Day with hubby Alexis Denisof and daughter Satyana.

Sounds like the happy family had a wonderful day shopping for toys and enjoying "green boba drinks" in Santa Monica.

Hope you and the fam had a great holiday, Alyson! We'll see you soon in American Pie 4! Ha!

We love her - we really do - but the Girls Aloud singer needs a new team around her! She needs better folks advising her, especially as she's trying to go solo and follow in the very successful footsteps of Cheryl Cole.

Unfortunately, Nadine Coyle's debut solo single is uninspired and her just-released music video for Insatiable is just as boring.

Check it out (above)!
