English boy band One Direction is touring the United States next summer in support of their fourth album (creatively titled "Four"). 

Having outgrown arenas, the boys are taking their talents act to football and baseball stadiums from coast to coast, and sporting the home team's jerseys in their promotional materials. 

The boys posed for photos for most of the tour's 18 stops. Embedding them all here would be maddening, but here's a representative sample. 

The general theme is that the two dudes on the left make hand gestures, the guy in the middle smiles earnestly, the guy second from the right is completely expressionless and the dude on the right just flat out refuses to wear the jersey.
