Dublin Áth Cliath - The City that fought an empire JERSEY

This Dublin 1916 Proclaimed Jersey is a powerful statement of history, identity, and resistance. Inspired by Dublin’s central role in the Irish revolutionary period, it honours the city that stood at the heart of the fight against British rule during the Easter Rising of 1916 and the struggle that followed.

Rendered in the iconic sky blue and navy tones of Dublin GAA, the shirt fuses sporting heritage with political history. The front features subtle yet meaningful revolutionary insignia, including references to the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, while the Dublin city crest reinforces the pride and resilience of the capital. A striking silhouetted illustration along the lower front depicts revolutionary figures, symbolising leadership, sacrifice, and defiance in the face of empire.

The reverse of the shirt continues the narrative. “Áth Cliath” crowns the design, paying homage to Dublin’s Irish name, while the number 16 commemorates the pivotal year that reshaped Irish history. Beneath it sits bold “Proclaimed 1916 – Dublin” artwork, anchored by anti-colonial symbolism that reflects armed resistance, cultural revival, and the assertion of national sovereignty. A discreet Tricolour at the collar completes the design with understated pride.

Crafted in a breathable, high-quality performance fabric, this shirt is designed for comfort as well as statement-making. It is equally at home on match day, at commemorative events, or as part of everyday wear for those who carry Dublin and Irish history with them.

This is more than a jersey. It is a tribute to Dublin’s revolutionary legacy and to a city that dared to challenge an empire — and changed the course of history.
