Bohemians team up with Oasis for 'unbelievable' collaboration
The fan-owned club have revealed the new design will be worn during the upcoming FAI Cup campaign to pay 'homage to the one of the greatest bands of all time, and two of Ireland's most famous sons.'
The highly coveted jersey features the 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. Bohemians FC have released another showstopping collaboration, this time partnering with none other than Oasis for their latest jersey.
It is manufactured by O'Neill's Sportswear Ireland and designed in-house by Bohemian FC in collaboration with Oasis.
All profits from the shirt will be split between Bohemian FC and two charities. 50% to the club and 25% to Music Generation Ireland, to allow disadvantaged kids across Ireland access music and 25% to Irish Community Care Manchester (ICCM), for their work with the Irish community in the city.
Oasis will receive no compensation from the sale. The fan-owned cult club have revealed the new design will be worn during the upcoming FAI Cup campaign to pay 'homage to the one of the greatest bands of all time, and two of Ireland's most famous sons.'
'We are delighted to unveil this jersey today following lots of work with Oasis over the past six months, with special thanks to Noel and Liam for supporting this,' Daniel Lambert, Chief Operating Officer of Bohemian Football Club told their official website.
'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.' View this post on Instagram

Kieran McGuinness, representative of Music Generation Ireland, said: 'Music Generation Ireland are proud and excited to be a beneficiary from this fantastic project, and continue our mission to empower children and young people through access to music.
'We have worked with Bohemian FC for several years and want to pay a special thanks to Oasis. The opportunity to support young musicians will ensure we get close to our goal of making sure that everyone in Ireland, whatever their background, gets access to music… and just maybe we can help develop the next Oasis!'
Patrick Morrison, CEO Irish Community Care Manchester, added: 'The Irish contribution to building Manchester is well recognised, and the city itself has played an important part in raising so many Irish sons and daughters, none more so that the Gallagher brothers. The highly coveted jersey features the 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.
'Sadly, not everyone in the Irish community is as fortunate, that is why ICCM continues to provide vital help to the most vulnerable and disadvantaged from our community.
'We pay tribute to Bohemian FC and Oasis for again highlighting the strong and deep connections between Ireland and Manchester, and we are excited to be part of this project demonstrating how music and sport can come together to strengthen a community.'
Fans of both the club and band were quick to show the collaboration some love, with one writing: 'Take my money now.' It is manufactured by O'Neill's Sportswear Ireland and designed in-house by Bohemian FC in collaboration with Oasis.
'Have to hand it to the marketing team, these Jerseys keep on coming,' another penned.
'I'm gonna be skint come Murrayfield,' a third shared.

Irish athletics trailblazer Maeve Kyle dies aged 96
Maeve Kyle, a pioneering figure in Irish athletics and a former hockey international, has died at the age of 96. Kilkenny native Kyle racked up 58 caps for Ireland's hockey team before shifting her focus to athletics after meeting her future husband Sean Kyle in 1953. Kyle became the first woman to represent Ireland in track and field at an Olympic Games when she contested the 100m and 200m at Melbourne 1956 as a 28-year-old in a career that became even more remarkable for its longevity. The honour of representing her country came at a financial cost, with the Ballymena-based athlete required to stump up £200 to make the trip Down Under. Kyle went on to compete at Rome 1960 and Tokyo 1964, reaching the semi-finals in both the 400m and 800m in her final Games as a competitor. Two years later, Kyle claimed a bronze medal in the 400m at the European Indoors in Dortmund in what was then West Germany. Gold medals and records in multiple disciplines at World Masters level were attained in the following years, while the Ballymena & Antrim Athletics Club continued to flourish under her tutelage and that of her husband. Kyle enjoyed tenures as manager of both Team GB and the Ireland team, figuring in a fourth Olympics for Ireland when serving as a coach to the Ireland team at Sydney 2000. Voted into the RTÉ/Irish Sports Council Hall of Fame Award in 2008, Kyle was honoured by multiple athletics bodies on the Ireland of honour and in the UK, and was elected as a life vice-president of Athletics Ireland. Predeceased by her husband Sean in 2015, she is survived by her daughter Shauna and her granddaughter Indy.

Ben Healy stays in general classification top ten as Jonathan Milan wins 17th stage of Tour de France
Ben Healy remains inside the top ten of the general classification at the Tour de France as Italian Jonathan Milan claimed his second victory in this year's competition when he won a crash-disrupted sprint in the 17th stage on Wednesday. Milan prevailed in a 10-man sprint after the peloton was held up behind a massive crash with just one kilometre to go as riders went down on slippery roads in a rainy finish in southeastern France. Eritrean Biniam Girmay was attended to by race doctors. Tadej Pogacar crossed the finish line safely to retain the overall leader's yellow jersey. Irish rider Healy (EF Education - EasyPost) is ninth overall, 17:52 down on Pogacar after finishing 37th on the stage. Healy is also 11th, seventh and fourth in the points, mountain and youth classifications respectively. His performance on Wednesday follows yesterday's stage when he n arrowly missed out on a second stage win of this year's Tour. Frenchmen Quentin Pacher and Mathieu Burgaudeau as well as Jonas Abrahamsen of Norway and Italian Vincenzo Albanese broke away early but stood little chance against the collective power of the sprinters' teams. With the peloton breathing down their necks, Abrahamsen went solo with 11km remaining, only to be reined in 4.3km from the line. Milan was the strongest in the reduced sprint, edging out Jordi Meeus of Belgium and Denmark's Tobias Lund Andresen, who were second and third respectively. Thursday's 18th stage is a brutal mountain trek between Vif and the Col de la Loze, one of the most feared ascents in the Tour de France.

Joe McCarthy to be given final chance to prove fitness as Andy Farrell contemplates changes
On paper, it should be an easy selection week for Andy Farrell. The British and Irish Lions bullied the Wallabies for large parts of Saturday's first Test win in Brisbane, and even though Australia never looked like mounting a miracle comeback, Farrell will have had plenty to think about when he and his coaches sat down for their final selection meeting for the second Test this morning. "I let everyone have their say," Farrell said, when asked how their selection meetings play out. "I play devil's advocate, and we thrash it out and we all agree. And that's it. That's exactly what we'll do again." Injuries will play a part in his selection, with second row Joe McCarthy's foot injury making him a major doubt, and the coach gave little away when asked if he's likely to be fit. "He hasn't trained so far [this week] but with the nature of the week, which is a bit different, we will see how he is for Thursday." It looks like the Ireland and Leinster lock will be given the opportunity to test out his injury when the squad train at Xavier College in the city-suburb of Kew, with Farrell (below) set to name his side shortly after. If he doesn't make the cut, then England's Ollie Chessum looks most likely to step into the second row to partner Maro Itoje, with Farrell unlikely to move Tadhg Beirne up from flanker, having dominated the Wallabies in Brisbane. Were Chessum to start, Farrell could look at getting another back row on the bench, rather than promoting James Ryan or Scott Cummings. It would be tough on Cummings, with the Scottish lock one of the better performers in last night's stodgy win against the First Nations and Pasifika XV, but the fact that he was left on the pitch for 80 minutes doesn't bode well for his chances. Likewise, Josh van der Flier and Henry Pollock both played wire to wire at Marvel Stadium, and Jac Morgan's departure early in the second half now makes him the frontrunner if a place becomes available on the bench. Given how the Lions destroyed the Wallabies pack in that first half at Suncorp, it's unlikely Farrell will tinker with the rest of his starting pack, but the way his side's performance fizzled out in Brisbane potentially puts a couple of bench places up for grabs, particularly with the Australian pack set to be far stronger this week, with Will Skelton, Rob Valetini (below) and David Porecki all expected to be named in the matchday 23 by Joe Schmidt at 4.30am Irish time. Luke Cowan-Dickie is fit again following concussion and could put Rónan Kelleher under pressure for the 16 shirt, while Ben Earl may face stiff competition from Morgan, even if McCarthy is cleared to play. It's in the backline where Farrell faces some big calls. Garry Ringrose returned in Tuesday's win against the First Nations and Pasifika XV and was one of the few standouts in an otherwise sloppy team performance. Prior to his concussion after the win against the Brumbies, the Leinster centre appeared to be leading Huw Jones for the 13 shirt, and although he looked back up to top speed at Marvel Stadium, the 63 minutes he played were more than Farrell would have bargained for. If Ringrose does get the decision, it will be fascinating to see whether Farrell is willing to retain Sione Tuipulotu at 12, or swap his midfield entirely and keep the all-Irish and all-Sottish partnerships. It would be a harsh call to drop Tuipulotu based on Saturday's win, and it's possible the Scots are retained in the starting team, with Ringrose a versatile bench option. Blair Kinghorn had some sloppy moments against the FNP side yesterday, but like Ringrose, he was tracking to be in the first choice squad at full-back before injuring his knee two games out from the first Test, and with Hugo Keenan (below) getting caught in the air for the opening Wallabies try at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday, that position could become a coin-toss. Kinghorn's versatility could also come to his benefit. The Scotland international made his first tour appearance on the wing, and if Mack Hansen fails to recover from the foot injury which has troubled him in recent weeks, he could be an option on the right wing after Tommy Freeman failed to fire. It would be a bold call for Farrell to make so many changes to a winning formula, but not an unprecedented one. Four years ago Warren Gatland changed three of his starting team after the first Test victory against the Springboks, while Farrell was an assistant to the New Zealander in Australia 12 years ago when there were five changes made ahead of the second Test in Melbourne. The Lions lost on both occasions, a cautionary tale against tinkering with a victorious Test team.
