Bohemian FC unveiled their new 2021 Home jersey made by O’Neills, a tribute to the famous Dalymount 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.
Bohemian FC, 60 years ago next season ordered the famous structure from Scotland. Taking inspiration from another national football stadium, they found a preferred design and supplier for floodlights for Dalymount after a visit to Hampden Park in Glasgow, who installed their own floodlights earlier that year in 1961.

The floodlights themselves are 125 feet high and originally featured three banks of ten lights on each pylon, a special transformer station had to be constructed to meet with the power supply demands which still survives today.
But more than anything they have provided the setting for the last 60 years for generations of members and supporters of Dublin’s Original Football Club at the home of Irish football.
