A Bohemian Football Club jersey reveal has become a highlight of the close season in the Irish domestic game and yesterday delivered on the build-up once again.

The kit sees the club return to stripes next season, and is inspired by The Auld Triangle; a song about Mountjoy Prison made famous by Brendan Behan and adopted as a terrace anthem by Bohemians fans.

The prison is only a chip kick away from Dalymount Stadium which is now itself getting ready for redevelopment into a new fit-for-purpose community stadium in the coming years.

Bohs’ links with Mountjoy have grown over the last decade with the club’s community outreach volunteers pioneering several comprehensive rehabilitation programmes in the prison.

The jersey features a triangle motif based on the old triangle from Mountjoy, while John Francis Flynn’s rendition of The Auld Triangle, which is featured in the promotional ad for the new jersey, will be part of the Bohemian Way, a forthcoming Creative Climate Action project funded by Creative Ireland.

In a touching tribute to a legend of the club Derek ‘Mono’ Monaghan, who tragically passed away earlier this year,
the jersey features a commemorative hem tag with a single star and the one word Mono.

The 2023 kit is once again designed in-house at Bohemian FC and manufactured by kit suppliers O’Neill’s on the island of Ireland.
