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.

Reds fan 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.

Advertisement THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit. Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

‘Not my decision' – BBC skips Irish-language intro of CMAT's single during radio debut
On Tuesday, the Irish singer released her new song, Euro-Country, one of the lead singles on her upcoming album of the same title. Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, originally from Dunboyne, Co Meath, announced on her social media yesterday that the song would be played for the first time on BBC Radio 1 at 6pm. 'Explorers! We are off to the Euro-Country! Tune into BBC Radio 1 to hear my song Euro-Country in full for the first time, where little Jackie Saunders will be playing it as his hottest record in the world. From 6pm,' she wrote on her Instagram. However, the BBC cut a 40-second-long intro in the Irish language out of the song and played the version without it. CMAT said that 'it was not her decision' to cut the intro. "It was not my decision to have the Irish language edited out of the first-ever play of Euro-Country on radio,' she said on her Instagram story. 'I don't know if it was a mistake or what happened,' she intro in the single reads: 'Cad is gá dom a dhéanamh mura bhfuil mé ag bualadh leat? (What am I to do if I'm not meeting you?) "Tá ceann folamh agam, yah, agus pearsantacht nua (I have an empty head, yah, and a new personality) 'Eirím níos dofheicthe, is tú imithe, ó mo shaol (I become more invisible, you are gone, from my life) 'Níl aon rud fágtha sa scátháin (There's nothing left in the mirror) ADVERTISEMENT Learn more 'An mbeidh mé álainn mhaol? (Will I be beautiful bald?).' However, the Irish star confirmed the UK's radio station told her they would play a full version of her song today. 'However, they have just gotten in contact and said that they are gonna play the Irish-language intro, full version of Euro-Country tomorrow to make up for it,' she wrote. "I don't know who edited it out, that was crazy of them. Not my decision, but they're fixing it,' she added. In the same song, Euro-Country, CMAT takes an aim at former Taoiseach Bernie Ahern and the architects of Ireland's recession. The lyrics – "All the big boys, all the Berties, all the envelopes, yeah, they hurt me, I was 12 when the das started killing themselves all around me' – are understood to also reference high suicide rates following the collapse of the Celtic Tiger in 2008. CMAT recently played at Glastonbury and is now getting ready to hit the stage at All Together Now in Curraghmore Estate in Co Waterford during the August Bank Holiday Weekend. The album Euro-Country is out on August 29.
