I don't really see the chevrons as looking like Free Derry Corner, looks more like a sharktooth pattern.

I always thought that would have been a neat solution to needing to have the white square on the back, though, to have it shaped like a gable wall in a nod to Free Derry Corner.

Looks like the new Bohs kit will be released tomorrow and from the small snippet released possibly going back to the triangular crest?

New home shirt out now, 1970 retro, tribute to the great billy young, didn’t realise we were the first club in Ireland and the uk to have a shirt sponsor.
Anyhow I didn’t like it at first but on second look, not a bad one.

Quite impressed with new Bohs jersey. Think my club had a jersey similar to this in mid 1980s .

Is that not a World Cup kit video ?

That’s the Bohs one there. It’s utterly horrendous as a football jersey, looks like a training jumper to the point that I was genuinely shocked when I read the word jersey above it. I don’t think it’s bias talking either as the reaction of a lot of bohs fans seems to be the same. Nice idea behind it but awful execution

**SkStu** · 08/12/2025, 9:25 PM

I think its an abomination.

**Dermobohs** · 08/12/2025, 9:37 PM

It’s a replica of the 1970 shirt, except Jodi and not Des Kelly was on the right breast of that one. Real throwback, but I’d have to agree the crest looks awful .
I’m not a fan of the modern fashion of changing the crest to mirror the colour of the shirt, bad move.
Other than that it’s nice, but I’d always prefer our iconic striped shirt, and we also had a lovely hooped one back in the early eighties.

Agree, It looks like they've tried too hard to come up with a top that people will be interested to wear casually in a way that many wouldn't a football top. Looks more like general leisurewear.

I remember going to Dalymount in the 70's and Jodi on the shirts. If I'm correct it was a company owned by former player and Bohs first professional Tony O Connell. The tribute to Billy Young is a lovely sentiment but I'm not keen on the new shirt. I'm sure there will be a short sleeve version which may look better.

I come from an era when football jerseys did not have a sponsor blazoned across the front of the shirt (and the back, and the arms and the shorts and the socks) - I am delighted to see Bohs produce a retro jersey that somehow replicates that.

Even though I wear modern jerseys it always bugs me that I am paying €75 to effectively carry around an advertising hoarding for a company everytime I wear it - they should be paying me to do it.

**ontheotherhand** · 09/12/2025, 1:36 PM

Can't fault bohs for trying. It's not the worse jersey this season but I don't think it quite came off. Might look better in person? Pats home, our away and that Waterford home are joint top of the pile for awful efforts imop.

Galway's is the nicest so far.

I take that point. Even more annoying when it's the Ireland ones, since we seem to be the only country to do it.

Are most clubs charging €75 now? That's steep. Derry are £50/€57 and Galway are €50. Seems much more reasonable.

Galway Utd jerseys start at €50 for kids and go up to €75 for adult. It's nice but the leisure wear range has some lovely pieces

I believe you're right there Shinkicker and he is also the reason the Jodi stand got it's name. I agree with you on the tribute but I don't feel short sleeves will improve this - it's just too far removed from the black and red stripes. I also wasn't a fan of the 2022 home kit for the same reason; would have preferred them as third kits.

I do really like the new Derry kit, probably for the traditional nature of it!! Really like the collar in particular.

Careful now !
