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 RomanceI 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. [4]
