The coronavirus quasi-lockdown hasn't deterred Bohemians from releasing their new 3rd jersey.
A blue shirt with yellow trim, it was supposed to have made its debut away to Cork City last Friday, but - along with every other domestic game - it was postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The new 3rd kit (as modelled by Bohs defender Rob Cornwall) has gone on sale at the club's online shop at a critical time for all SSE Airtricity League clubs.

Speaking to Off The Ball last week, Sligo Rovers treasurer David Rowe laid out the stark reality facing clubs, "Certainly, for the five or six Premier Division clubs that are in the same boat as ourselves and then First Division clubs.
"Nobody goes on when their income is 10% [of what it was] with full costs and we can't either.
