LEAGUE of Ireland fans comically respond to the announcement of Bohemians new FAI Cup jersey collaboration with Oasis.
Bohs unveiled the newest of their jersey collabs yesterday and LOI fans were quick to make witty comments regarding the announcement.

Rival Shelbourne fans decided to side with Oasis rivals Blur[/caption]
The jersey will be debuted in Alan Reynold’s side’s FAI Cup Round Two clash ‘away’ to Killester Donneycarney FC on 18 July.
Fans of rival teams were fast in making their own concept bands and artists jerseys for their clubs.
A fan of Shelbourne, X user Andrew was quick to side with Oasis major rival during the mid-90s, Blur.
The two North Dublin derby clubs appear to have sided with opposite bands in the “Battle of Britpop” to have on their jerseys.
A Finn Harps fan weighed in on the topic with X user Ryan sharing his ideal Harps jersey with Donegal native Daniel O’Donnell taking up a large portion of the jerseys front.
Unlike the ‘BOHASIS’ collab, at least Harps and O’Donnell have a connection with the famous Irish singer being born in Kincasslagh Co. Donegal and having shown his support for the club in the past.
The responses stretched as far as Belfast where NIFL Premiership side Cliftonville’s fans were particularly unhappy.
In the jersey announcement Bohs claimed to be “Ireland’s oldest football club.”
Cliftonville fans were quick to correct them as the current Northern Ireland Football League Cup holders were formed eleven years before the Phibsborough based club in 1879.
The official X account of the North Belfast based club replied to the claim with a puzzled emoji.
Red’s fan, X user Barry was quick to parody the jersey collab by photoshopping Irish rebel music band Wolfe Tones on the jersey of Ireland’s actual oldest active professional football club.
One fan made a jibe at the fact Oasis disbanded in 2009, the same year Bohemians won their last league title and last league cup.
The fan said “2009. The year Oasis fell apart. The year Bohs fell apart.” Bohs have only two Leinster Senior Cups and a Setanta Cup in 2010 to show for their following 16 years of football.
