People are obsessed with Team Ireland's 'Luigi' inspired Olympic uniforms
LATE LAST NIGHT, the Olympics Opening Ceremony took place in Rio de Janeiro, with boxer Paddy Barnes leading Team Ireland in the Parade of Nations.
And just like the Euros, the Irish team is already attracting attention – this time, for their fashion. Yes, really.

Whoops!
