Supplier: O'Neills | Sponsor: Des Kelly Interiors

Bohemian FC's 2026 home shirt was released in memory of Billy Young and inspired by the shirt worn 50 years previously by their cup winning team, the first kit in either Ireland or Britain with a sponsor. The retro jersey is sponsored by main club partners Des Kelly Interiors and kit supplier O’Neill’s who both agreed to use of their logos from the era. The shirt is directly inspired by the club's 1976 jersey, featuring a full red body, stitched black stripes, O’Neill’s and Des Kelly logos from the era alongside the Bohs crest from the time. There is a neck collar tape with Dalymount in Irish and English repeating. The embroidered hem tag features Billy Young's name and signature. [1]

Away

Supplier: O'Neills | Sponsor: Kneecap

Bohemian FC has partnered with Kneecap to release their 2026 away jersey. The collaboration was designed by the members of acclaimed Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap in conjunction with Bohemian FC designers, pays homage to the unbreakable bond between the Irish and Palestinian people. The white shirt body is patterned with a Kufiyah design that is decorated with interwoven Irish and Palestine flags. The crest is in the Irish language. The letters C.E.A.R.T.A (“rights”) from the track of the same name adorn the inside neck tape. The collar and cuff are woven with orange, green and red – the standout colours from the Irish and Palestinian flags. On each sleeve are three stitched stripes of the same colours, an embroidered hem tag features a Palestinian and Irish graffiti style flag with the words ‘Dluthpháirtíocht / Solidarity’. 30% of profits from the shirt will be sent to ACLAÍ Palestine to go straight into a fund to enable the construction/fit-out of a community music studio to enable artists and musicians in the Aida Camp (West Bank) to be able to enjoy music at any level. It will also enable these artists to record and produce music that can be the catalyst for future careers.
