Bohemians FC launch new jersey in partnership with Oasis
The 100% fan-owned not-for-profit club have unveiled the new shirt that will be worn during the upcoming FAI Cup campaign and which they believed will pay "homage to the one of the greatest bands of all time, and two of Ireland's most famous sons."
The jersey also 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.
It is manufactured by O'Neill's Sportswear Ireland and designed in-house by Bohemian FC in collaboration with Oasis, who are set to play at Croke Park in the near future with their new tour beginning on Friday.
All profits from the shirt will be split between Bohemian FC and two charities. Fifty percent (50%) of the profits from the shirt will be used by Bohemian Football Club to help build on the club's pioneering work across its football and community activities.
The other fifty percent (50%) will be split 25% to Music Generation Ireland, to allow disadvantaged kids across Ireland access 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.
'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," 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.'
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.
"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.'

THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit. 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. 4 Shoppers can choose from three styles Credit: 4 The cute set is available in Dunnes Stores Credit: Garrett White - Commissioned by The Sun Dublin Advertisement
