Fab new third kit for the Cherries

AFC Bournemouth launched their new UMBRO third kit last night, and it is a great blend of white and mint green trim with a new local sponsor MSP Capital of Poole. The kit comes with mint green shorts with white trim and looks pretty neat to me. I think it will be very popular.

How long before we see new shirts being worn around Dean Court?

UMBRO has done well at blending in the sponsor logo and their logo probably looks best on this third kit than it will on the home and away kit, where it is white, as seen here. Kris Temple, of BBC Radio Solent, was quick to tweet that he is pleased to see a local company on the shirt again, and there is something about having a local community company supporting the club in this way that links the club with the fans.

The swagger of the Premier League may have gone, but in a way, the club seems less boastful in being more closely tied with a company that is not a major Betting firm, and the Vitality sponsorship, which is still with the stadium, never really felt unique to Bournemouth when it was on the shirt.

Opinions from the fans seem to be very much a thumbs up for the new kit.
