Bohemian Football Club (Bohemian FC), in partnership with Oasis, have just announced the release of the club’s 2025 FAI Cup jersey.
Designed in-house by Bohemian FC in collaboration with Oasis, the club’s new jersey features the iconic Oasis logo in the traditional blue tones of Dublin City, with a 90s styling and sublimated chevron patterns, as well as a white and blue collar, and sleeve trims.
The freshly minted jersey is manufactured by O’Neill’s Sportswear Ireland and all profits from the shirt will be split between Bohemian FC and two charities, with fifty percent of the profits from the shirt ultimately being used by Bohs to help build on the club’s pioneering work across its football and community activities.
The remaining fifty percent will be split 25% to Music Generation Ireland, to allow disadvantaged kids across Ireland access to music and 25% to Irish Community Care Manchester (ICCM), for their amazing work with the Irish community in the city. No proceeds will go to Oasis for their partnership and support of this project.
The proceeds to Music Generation Ireland will ensure thousands of young children across Ireland who otherwise could not afford to access music lessons and equipment can do so, particularly for those who are disadvantaged or socially isolated. It will support the development of music programmes, instrument libraries, and increased opportunities for young people to engage in music they enjoy.
Proceeds to Irish Community Care Manchester (ICCM) will provide huge support to the Irish and Irish Traveller communities across Greater Manchester including older people, families, the homeless, and some of the most vulnerable Irish across Greater Manchester.
Today it is estimated that 33% of the population of Manchester is Irish or of Irish descent; and as Irish President Michael D. Higgins said “Where Liverpool was a gateway for so many Irish people, Manchester tended to be for many the end of the journey, a home”.
Over the years Bohemian FC, and its home Dalymount Park, has hosted thousands of games and some of the greatest players to ever play such as Best, Pelé and Zidane, but is as well known in music for its iconic gigs throughout the 70s and 80s, 90s when some of the biggest names in music graced its turf.
Whilst Oasis never played Dalymount, the Gallagher brothers’ reunion features two Dublin shows in August at Croke Park less than a mile from Dalyer.
In a bit of a coup, The video features the Modfather Paul Weller as the snooker hall worker, and Bohemian FC player Jordan Flores and ex-player Paddy Kirk with ‘Married with Children’ as the soundtrack. Cross Guns Snooker Club, a stone’s throw from Dalymount, features in the promotional video accompanying the launch. The club is Ireland’s oldest snooker hall and family owned since 1958.
Speaking about the initiative, Daniel Lambert, COO of Bohemians said, “We are delighted to unveil this jersey today following lots of work with the Oasis over the past six months, special thanks to Noel and Liam for supporting this. To be able to work with Oasis and design a new iconic shirt that will reach fans around the world is special. And to once again have funds going towards such worthy causes, that will assist thousands of people across Ireland and Manchester is brilliant.
As a fan-owned football club and a not-for-profit entity the impact on Bohemian FC will be significant and we are most grateful for the support. I would also like to thank Paul Weller who features in the promotional video and came to Dublin specifically to do so.”
