Fontaines D.C. have teamed up with Irish football club Bohemian to launch a new shirt to raise funds for humanitarian aid for Palestine amid the on-going genoicide in Gaza.
The shirt, which will be the club’s 2025 third (alternative) jersey, is designed by the Dublin band's guitarist Carlos O’Connell, features a lyric from the band's song Horseness Is the Whatness - “I thought it was love” – printed around the neck, while an embroidered hem tag features a Palestinian flag with the words Saoirse don Phalaistín, Gaeilge for 'Free Palestine'.
Profits from the shirt will go to Medical Aid for Palestinians to go straight into their emergency response action for what is most needed in Gaza at that moment, for example the rehabilitation of Nasser hospital, limb reconstruction, procurement of antibiotics/saline bags/ultrasound gel/intravenous paracetamol/hot meals etc.
Fans in Ireland will have the first opportunity to buy the shorts from a merch stall which will be in operation at the halfway line of Dalymount Park, Bohemian's stadium, tomorrow and Saturday, December 6 and 7.
