Fontaines D.C have collaborated with Bohemians FC to launch a new jersey, raising funds for medical aid in Palestine.

The jersey is designed by Fontaines D.C's Carlos O'Connell, who worked in tandem with Bohemians' designers, which will serve as the Dublin side's alternative kit for the 2025 season.

This shirt is available to pre order now via this link, and will be shipped out from next Monday (December 9).

Jerseys will also be on sale at the club's stadium Dalymount Park today, tomorrow and Sunday from 4pm to 6pm.

Fontaines D.C's collaboration with Bohemians is to also celebrate the band's two sold out shows at Dublin's 3Arena this weekend.

'I thought it was love'

A video which was shared online, was filmed by James Goldrick, with Fontaines' D.C's track 'Horseness is the Whatness', from their album ROMANCE, heard in the background.

The video was inspired by recent Fontaines D.C tracks, and shows locations around Dalymount Park. Check out the video for yourselves here.

Bohemians have been a huge support to Palestine's humanitarian effort.

Bohemians Support Palestine 

Back in May, the Palestinian women's team came over to Dalymount Park to play their first ever match outside Europe, with a friendly against the Dublin side's women's team.

Bohemians invited the team to Dublin as show of support to the Palestinian people. They also raised funds for their efforts in the region.

Speaking about this match, manager Deema Said also stated that the match was important for both football and political reasons.

"This may look like it's a football match, but it's much more than that for us. It's a way to convey our message and to like make sure that the solidarity between the Palestinian people and the Irish people will always exist", she said.

"As a team manager, it's been crazy to get all the players together. We haven't had the chance to practice all together, all the full 22 members of the team until now, and some of our players have not been able to make it to Ireland as well". 

She also added: "One of the biggest obstacles we face as Palestinians and Palestinian athletes is freedom of movement within the Palestinian territories. From a football perspective, that does affect the harmony of the team and the level of the team, but at the same time, this is how we live as Palestinians.

"We're used to that, and we are very resilient as people".

Last month, Fontaines D.C were also nominated for two Grammy Awards. More on this here.
