Bohemians FC, the fan-owned not-for-profit club, has launched a new jersey in partnership with the legendary band Oasis, ahead of their much-anticipated comeback tour. The jersey, designed to pay homage to Oasis and celebrate Dublin's cultural heritage, features the band's logo in traditional blue tones, 90s styling, and sublimated chevron patterns. Manufactured by O'Neill's Sportswear Ireland and designed in collaboration with Oasis, the jersey is a testament to the club's innovative approach to football merchandising.
The partnership extends beyond fashion, with all profits from the shirt sales being split between Bohemian FC and two charities. Fifty percent of the profits will support the club's football and community activities, while the remaining fifty percent will be equally divided between Music Generation Ireland and Irish Community Care Manchester. This initiative underscores Bohemians FC's commitment to leveraging football for social good, providing access to music for disadvantaged children in Ireland and supporting the Irish community in Manchester.
Reactions to the jersey have been mixed among fans and the broader football community. While some have praised the design and the charitable cause it supports, others have critiqued the club's focus on merchandise over on-pitch success. Despite the divided opinions, the jersey has garnered significant attention, highlighting Bohemians FC's unique position at the intersection of football, music, and philanthropy.
Daniel Lambert, Chief Operating Officer of Bohemian FC, expressed his delight at the collaboration, thanking Noel and Liam Gallagher for their support. Lambert emphasized the significance of the partnership, not only for the club but for the thousands of people across Ireland and Manchester who will benefit from the charitable contributions. As Bohemians FC continues to innovate both on and off the pitch, this latest venture with Oasis represents another chapter in the club's storied history of community engagement and cultural celebration.
