2023 Bohemian F.C. season

The 2023 League of Ireland season was Bohemian Football Club's 133rd year in their history and their 39th consecutive season in the League of Ireland Premier Division since it became the top tier of Irish football. Bohemians participated in the FAI Cup, where they reached the final for the second time in three years but lost out to fellow Dublin club St. Patrick's Athletic in front of a record 43,881 fans. In September, the club won the Leinster Senior Cup for a record 33rd time.

Bohs saw their membership increase from 1,000 members to 2,400 for the 2023 season, an all-time high. They also unveiled the new Mono Stand, an homage to the late legendary club volunteer Derek Monaghan. Thus, the capacity of Dalymount Park was increased to above 4,400.

Home

Bohemians home kit for the 2023 season features a tribute to the late club legend Derek 'Mono' Monaghan as well as a return to the club's traditional red and black stripes. The new kit is inspired by the Auld Triangle, the famous song about the eponymous metal triangle housed in Mountjoy Prison, which is located in the vicinity of Dalymount Park.^[1]

Away

Releasing their away jersey, Bohs teamed up with Palestine Sport for Life to raise awareness of human rights violations in Palestine. The new away kit will also raise funds to support access to sports for children in the camp of Tulkarem in the West Bank. Ten per cent of the profits from the jersey will provide sports equipment for the project in Tulkarem. The jersey carries the Palestinian colours and a dove icon below the collar, which symbolises peace.

The previous season's Bob Marley shirt was in use as an alternate jersey in pre-season and throughout their Leinster Senior Cup campaign.

Third

Bohs retained their Dublin Bus kit from the previous season as an alternate strip. As before, 10% of all sales are donated to Dublin Bus’ charity partner LGBT Ireland and Bohemians’ partners at ShoutOut.
