Irish Band U2 Strikes Partnerships to Unite Sports & Music
Boston Celtics & Notre Dame leverage their Irish brand attributes for Limited Edition U2 Vinyl Collections
It’s St. Patrick's Day… so, of course, it’s the most on-brand day for the legendary Irish rock band from Dublin — U2 — to release 'Songs of Surrender', a brand-new album comprised of 16 acoustic and reimagined recordings from their extensive catalog of hits.

But, wait… the green version looks like it has a Boston Celtics logo on it. Might this be the most Irish Boston collab of all-time? Are Ben Affleck and Matt Damon featured in the notes or updated lyrics somewhere?!
Upon further investigation, it appears that Notre Dame got in on the Irish cross-brand action as well…
