This topic is to see if there is interest in having shirts just like Adam wore on the first leg, usually denoting the first date U2 played in a particular city or country. Such as:

BigGiRL has already succeeded in replicating this design and created one for Amsterdam, with the first date U2 played The Netherlands:

So question is: do we also want designs for the other countries U2 will play in for the Europe leg? BigGiRL has offered to create the designs and we can offer these shirts via our U2start shirt shop.

Seems we then have 8 countries left (Netherlands aside then):
Germany
Spain
France
Belgium
England
Scotland
Italy
Sweden

If anyone is interested, let us know here! Also, it would be good if people can help us finding and confirming the correct date on the shirt. Too lazy to do it now so if someone else can look up the dates per country please!

ps: also loved the idea of one's own first u2 show date on the shirt, but I get that it'd be difficult (eg undoable) with a shop.

It's not always the very first time.. It's shows he has fond memories of or stand out to him or the band for some reason. He wore a St Patrick's day 92 shirt in Boston and a December 3 1984 shirt here in new York
