Bohemians have released another Bob Marley jersey after securing the rights to use an image of the iconic reggae singer.
The Dublin club originally released a jersey with an image of Marley on it back in 2018, but were forced to abandon the design for copyright reasons.
Bohs sold more jerseys than they ever had before finding out that they would have to scrap the design and offer refunds.
The new jersey pays tribute to Marley’s last ever outdoor concert, which took place in the club’s stadium, Dalymount Park, in July 1980.
The club says 10% of the profits from the shirt will be used to purchase musical instruments and football equipment to provide to people in Asylum Centres across the country.
Daniel Lambert, Bohemian FC's club's chief operating officer said: “It brings me enormous joy to unveil this jersey today following years of work on the idea.
"The Marley concert at Dalymount is one of Ireland’s truly special musical events, his only ever Irish show and, sadly, his last ever outdoor one.
"His love of football is widely known to all, and that he played on our famous pitch before the concert, the same turf that some of the world’s best players have graced such as Pele, Best and Zidane is amazing.”
Pat Egan, 1980 Concert Booker/Promoter commented: “I think this is a brilliant thing in terms of the memories of the day, the first major worldwide star to play an open air gig in Ireland.
"It will be an iconic shirt and help keep the Marley legend alive and well on our island. The day itself, to see him on stage in the stadium, with the huge church steeple in the background was out of this world.”
Lucky Khambule, MASI Representative added: “We at the Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland are delighted to be part of this project with Bohemian FC.
"People in the Asylum system face many difficulties and being able to enjoy sport and music can truly brighten updays for adults and children alike.”
