Erin go Bragh is an anglicisation of the Irish phrase Éirinn go Brách, and is used to express allegiance to Ireland. It is most often translated as "Ireland Forever." In the late 19th century, the Edinburgh football club Hibernian F.C. adopted 'Erin Go Bragh' as their motto and it adorned their shirts. Founded in 1875 by Edinburgh Irishmen and the local Catholic Church, St Patrick's, the club's shirts included a gold harp set on a green background. The flag can still be seen at a lot of Hibernian matches to this day, more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Go_Bragh Pictured here Image]
