Fontaines D.C. have teamed up with Dublin’s Bohemians FC to launch a new football shirt for Palestine aid – find all the details below.
The band’s logo is emblazoned on the front of the Irish club’s 2025 third alternative jersey – a one-off edition designed by guitarist Carlos O’Connell, in
conjunction with Bohemian FC designers.
It follows Fontaines D.C and Boh’s collaborative away shirt, which was launched in 2021 to support a homelessness charity.
The new design raises funds for Medical Aid For Palestinians (MAP) amid the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
A preview video for the latest collaboration is soundtracked by Fontaines’ track ‘Horseness Is The Whatness’ from their latest album ‘Romance’.
The clip draws inspiration from the group’s recent visuals, which feature locations around Dalymount Park – the home of Bohemians FC in the heart of Dublin.
On the shirt itself, a line from ‘Horsenes…’ – “I thought it was love” – is printed around the neck, with the ‘Romance’ colour scheme flowing through the body and sleeve trims. Additionally, an embroidered hem tag features a Palestinian flag with the words “Saoirse don Phalaistín| (Irish language for ‘Free Palestine’).
The exclusive shirt is available to order now at here, and will be shipped from next Monday (December 9).
To celebrate the launch of the collaboration and Fontaines’ two sold-out shows at Dublin’s 3 Arena, the new shirts will on sale at Dalymount Park this Friday (December 6) and Saturday (December 7) from 4pm to 6pm.
Here, fans will have the chance to purchase some other exclusive items including “very limited edition Fontaines D.C. scarfs”. Each shirt bought comes with a free limited edition Fontaines D.C. badge too.
The Dublin band are playing in their home city on those same dates as part of their current UK and Ireland ‘Romance’ tour – which featured two gigs at Alexandra Palace in London.
Profits from the shirt will be sent to Medical Aid for Palestinians to go straight into
their emergency response action – for what is most needed at that moment, for
example the rehabilitation of Nasser hospital, limb reconstruction, procurement of
antibiotics/saline bags/ultrasound gel/intravenous paracetamol/hot meals etc.
In the past 12 months their Gaza team has sourced and procured over 10 million
dollars’ worth of essential supplies and remain one of the last operating INGOs in
Gaza. They have also established 12 medical points in central and southern Gaza,
in collaboration with local partners, and supported the rehabilitation of Nasser
Hospital in Khan Younis.
