You know how much I love a good surprise, and this one is a real gem. AFC Bournemouth, the Cherries, have teamed up with none other than the incredibly talented Michael B. Jordan for a limited-edition kit collection. Yes, you heard that right! The Hollywood heartthrob, the director, the producer, the whole package, has put his creative genius into designing some seriously stunning jerseys. This is the AFC Bournemouth x MBJ collection.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "what does a movie star know about football?" Well, dude, let me tell you, Michael B. Jordan is a man of many talents, and apparently a large wallet. He's passionate about sports, he's got an eye for detail, and he knows how to make a statement. And these kits? They're a statement, alright! Plus he owns a piece of the club, lol.
They've kept it classic with the traditional red and black, but with a modern twist. Think a bold, interlocking cherry pattern that's both eye-catching and sophisticated. It's like a cherry blossom explosion on a football pitch! And the details? Oh, the details! They've even brought back a vintage Cherries crest, reimagined by the talented designer Daniel Norris. It's a nod to the club's history, but with a fresh, contemporary feel.
These aren't just any jerseys, bro. They're a collaboration between two powerhouses: AFC Bournemouth and Michael B. Jordan's Outlier Society Ventures. It's a testament to his commitment to creative and impactful projects, and it shows that he's not just about the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. He's about making a difference, and this collaboration is definitely making a statement.
And the best part? These beauties have already debuted on the pitch during AFC Bournemouth's preseason tour in California. They looked absolutely stunning against Wrexham (in black) and Arsenal (in red). Imagine the roar of the crowd when they hit the pitch in these jerseys during the 24/25 season!
Michael B. Jordan himself is just as excited about the project. He said, "Having the opportunity to design a kit has been a project I have been excited to work on since joining the club, and I can't wait to see them out on the pitch this week. These are exciting times for Cherries fans and I'm looking forward to see what this season brings.”
And AFC Bournemouth owner Bill Foley couldn't be happier either. He said, "t has been great for us to lean into our Cherries identity a little more with this opportunity. We’ve been able to draw on what is a unique aspect of our club and I’m very pleased with how the kits look. Michael's passion for the design process has shone through and I thank him for his time and energy in creating the range. I'm looking forward to our supporters seeing it too."
So, there you have it! A collaboration that's both unexpected and utterly brilliant. These AFC Bournemouth x MBJ shirts are a must-have for any football fan, and they're sure to be a collector's item. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on this one.
