Today is gonna be the Dalyer: Bohemians FC and Oasis team up for new charity-supporting jersey
It is the latest jersey from the north Dublin club who have previously put out kits featuring the Fontaines DC, Thin Lizzy, Bob Marley and Dublin Bus.
The jersey is described by Bohs as, 'Featuring 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. It is manufactured by O'Neill's and designed in-house by Bohemian FC in collaboration with Oasis.'
Profits from the shirt will be split between Bohemians and two charities. Half of the profits from the shirt will be used by Bohs to 'help build on the club's work across its football and community activities'.
The other 50% will be split, with 25% going to Music Generation Ireland, to allow disadvantaged kids across Ireland access to music and 25% to Irish Community Care Manchester (ICCM), for their work with the Irish community in the city. No proceeds will go to Oasis for their partnership and support of this project.

Daniel Lambert, chief operating officer of Bohemians FC, said: 'We are delighted to unveil this jersey today following lots of work with the Oasis over the past six months, with 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.'
Kieran McGuinness of Music Generation Ireland, said: '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 of Irish Community Care Manchester, said: '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. 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.'
Oasis play two gigs this summer in nearby Croke Park, on 16 and 17 August.

Shamrock Rovers the big winners as Derry-Bohs finishes all square
Derry City 1 Bohemians 1 Simon Collins reports from the Ryan McBride Brandywell SHAMROCK ROVERS emerged the biggest winners at the Brandywell as Bohemians came from behind to clinch a share of the spoils against Derry City. Former York City striker Dipo Akinyemi put Derry ahead on his home debut with a header from Michael Duffy's cross five minutes into first-half stoppage time. That lead didn't last long as Ross Tierney blasted home from James Clarke's cross on 52 minutes to rescue a point for the second-placed Dubliners. Both teams have now played the same number of games as Rovers, who finished the night seven points clear of the Gypsies and eight ahead of Derry, whom they play at Tallaght in their next outing. There were reports of clashes between both sets of supporters outside the ground in ugly scenes, which marred a match between two teams hoping to ignite a title race. It was the Brandywell pitch that ignited when a flare was thrown over the Southend Park stand during the first half, which scorched the artificial surface and caused a lengthy delay in play. Tiernan Lynch handed a debut to former Hull City fullback Brandon Fleming, who was one of three changes from last week's FAI Cup win over Treaty United. He replaced Shane Ferguson while hat-trick hero Liam Boyce regained a starting berth at the expense of Gavin Whyte, who was a notable omission from the squad. Advertisement Carl Winchester was also back at the expense of Adam O'Reilly, who dropped to the bench. Alan Reynolds made sweeping changes, seven in total, from the team which thrashed their Leinster Senior League opposition, Killester Donnycarney, in the cup. Bohs were enjoying plenty of possession in the early stages, but Derry almost capitalised on a quick counter-attack on 12 minutes with a move started and finished by Akinyemi. The Londoner found the run of Duffy with a clever ball over the top, and when the ex-Celtic winger cut it back to Boyce, the striker fluffed his lines. The ball broke out to the edge of the box, where Akinyemi tried his luck again from distance two minutes later, but Chorazka saved comfortably. Akiyemi was in the thick of the action once again when he found Duffy in space with a neat flick, but the Derry winger dragged his first-time strike on his right foot narrowly wide of the post. There was a five-minute delay when a flare was thrown over the Southend Park stand onto the pitch and set fire to the artificial surface on the half-hour mark. The stewards were slow to react, much to the annoyance of the players, but eventually the flame was extinguished and the action resumed. Bohs carved out a great chance in stoppage time when Tierney's delicate touch from Mountney's cross set up Clarke, but his strike from 12 yards was saved by Maher. Derry broke when Boyce played a ball over the top for Akinyemi to run onto and the striker got in behind the last man, but his strike was saved brilliantly by the outstretched leg of Chorazka. The Polish keeper couldn't do anything about Akinyemi's next effort on goal as the Englishman towered above his marker and headed Duffy's cross into the corner of the net for a timely breakthrough. Diallo tried his luck from just inside the penalty box with the last action of the half, but drilled his effort wide of the post. Bohs were back on level terms early in the second half as Tierney got onto the end of Clarke's cross from the right and volleyed past the helpless Maher. Duffy's curling free-kick from 25 yards was gathered comfortably by Chorazka, and substitute O'Reilly fired a blistering effort over the bar as Derry tried to get back on top. Robbie Benson came agonisingly close to finding the corner of the net in front of a packed North Stand with a glancing header from Duffy's inswinging cross with 10 minutes to go. The second half subs were making an impact and Danny Mullen raced onto a ball over the top of the Bogs defence but his effort on the half volley was beaten away by Chorazka at the near post. From the resultant corner kick, Alex Bannon rose at the back post, but again Chorazka parried it clear, and it was as close as Derry came to finding a winner. Derry City: Maher: Connolly, Bannon, Todd; R. Boyce (Benson 69), Diallo (Frizzell 90), Winchester, Fleming; Duffy, L. Boyce (Mullen 69) Akinyemi (O'Reilly 57) Bohemians: Chorazka; Mountney (Smith 67), Byrne, Kavanagh, Flores; Morahan, Devoy. McDonnell (Parsons 74), Tierney; Clarke (Whelan 74), Rooney. Referee: Damien MacGraith.

Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
