“I’m sure fans will love the bespoke kits we’ve created in partnership with the club, and we’re all looking forward to seeing them being worn by fans and players in the coming months.”

AFC Bournemouth’s partnership with UMBRO begins at the start of the 2017/18 season, with the club’s new kits being unveiled this summer.
