## Club
### Kits

Supplier: O'Neills | Sponsor: Des Kelly Interiors

#### Home

Bohemians home shirt for 2025, is designed by in-house club designers and produced in Ireland by kit partner O’Neill's. The jersey commemorates the club's 135th anniversary. The 2025 jersey retains the club's famous red and black stripes but with the incision of gold trimming to mark the anniversary, sewn on gold sleeve stripes, as well as 135 years embroidery under the crest and 135 years text and knotwork design on the rear neck. Inside the neck tape has the words 135 Blian. Main club partner is once again Des Kelly. The jersey features a woven crossover v-neck collar of red, black and gold in a new design which is mirrored on the sleeve ends.

#### Away

Bohs 2025 away shirt celebrates two of the city’s most famous institutions. It features a Guinness logo from the 1980s, alongside an O’Neill’s logo from the same era, on a cream body with thin red pinstripes throughout, as well as a black and cream collar and sleeve trims. It also has an embroidered hem tag of the Ha’penny Bridge with Irish and English inscription.
Proceeds from the shirt will go towards the development and running of the club with 10% of the profits going to ‘Bohs in the Community’ and its Pride Committee to help build upon the club’s continuing work in tackling homophobia, biphobia and transphobia in football across the island.

#### Third

Bohemians 2025 alternate third kit was created by Fontaines D.C. band member Carlos O'Connell in conjunction with in-house Bohemian FC designers. A quote from their award-winning 2024 album Romance – I thought it was love – is printed around the neck while the Romance colour scheme flows through the body and sleeve trim. The Fontaines D.C. logo is emblazoned across the front of the strip. An embroidered hem tag features a Palestinian flag with the words Saoirse don Phalaistín (Irish language for "Free Palestine").
30% of profits from the shirt go directly to Medical Aid for Palestinians. The release of the jersey was picked up by multiple media outlets.
