U2 favor sportswear in Beantown
Honoring the “When in Rome…” expression, U2 made like Bostonians and showed their love of sports with sporty wardrobe choices at the band’s two concerts in Boston this week. At their Oct. 3 show, Bono donned a Boston Red Sox jersey, and on Oct. 4, Edge sported an Irish football shirt.
It makes us wonder what wardrobe choices they’ll make to honor New York City. The “Discotheque” video outfits?
