I'm sure the badge they had was one of the Irish crest cap badges that Gaelic Themes is (or was) offering. I say was, because back when our gift shop was stocking Gaelic Themse products, we had the hardest time getting in any shipments of these items. Half the time we were told "out of stock" and then after a long wait, we were ultimately told "this name has been discontinued." Eventually we had to drop the line just because of problems getting them to our customers -- sounds like Scotweb might be having the same problems. I think we have a few left on hand, but I don't think we have any MacSweeny (I'll check for you, though).

I have my doubts, though, as to how heraldically correct they are. The badges showed the crest (presumably of the cheif of that name, assuming there is one), encircled not with a belt & buckle as on a Scottish clansman's badge, but with a cladadh desgisn, upon which is not the clan motto (as on a Scottish badge), but the Gaelic rendition of the name.

Neat concept, and great looking badge, but I just don't know enough about Irish heraldry to know if this is correctly done or not, or indeed if there is any tradition in Ireland at all of using a chief's crest as a badge in this manner (as has developed in Scottish heraldry).
