Bohemian F.C. 2021 football season
The 2021 League of Ireland season is Bohemian Football Club's 131st year in their history and their 37th consecutive season in the League of Ireland Premier Division since it became the top tier of Irish football . Bohemians are participating in the FAI Cup , the national domestic cup competition. Bohemians are also competed in the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League where they set a record for Irish clubs with four consecutive victories in European competition.
Prior to the commencement of the season, and despite no guarantees of live attendances due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland , Bohemians announced that they had a record 1,000 members signed up for the forthcoming campaign.

Kits [ ]
Supplier: O'Neills | Sponsor: Des Kelly Interiors
Home [ ]
The new home jersey for the 2021 season was released on 16 December 2020 and is made by O'Neills , now in their third year as the official kit manufacturer for Bohemians, and features Des Kelly Interiors as the main sponsor. The home kit is in the traditional colours of red and black and the design pays tribute to the Dalymount Park floodlights. The silhouette of the famous lights passes through the red stripes of the jersey, and the Miller & Stables plaque from the floodlight control room adorns bottom of the embroidery. The club's name in the crest is written in the Irish language for the second consecutive year. The slogan "Love Football, Hate Racism" also features at the back of the shirt.[1]
Away [ ]
Bohemians teamed up with Dublin band Fontaines DC for their 2021 away kit, highlighting the issue of homelessness across the country.[2] The jersey itself 'pays homage to Dublin and Ireland in its design' and features the ‘Dublin in the rain is mine ’ Fontaines lyric from their song 'Big' as well as Patrick Pearse ’s quote ‘Beware of the Risen People ’ from the wall of Kilmainham Gaol . It also features imagery of Dublin landmarks Grattan Bridge and Poolbeg Chimneys . The jersey launch was covered by many publications worldwide, most notably Forbes Magazine .
Third [ ]
Bohs retained their blue and navy yellow-trimmed kit from the 2020 season as their alternative away attire. This kit includes commemorative inscriptions for the 130 year anniversary of the club, which was celebrated during the previous campaign.
