10. Bournemouth

The Cherries are also sponsored by Umbro, and they come into the season with three very nice kits. The home kit sees the classic black and red stripes accompanied by gold accents. They’ve even managed to make their sponsor’s logo look somewhat nice, something that’s been a difficult task for them in the past. Bournemouth usually have one of the nicer home kits in the league, and they continue the tradition this year.

The away kit is a clean white shirt with red accents on the sleeves. The Umbro logos on the sleeves are a nice touch, and they work well on pretty much every jersey that has them. Mansion’s logo is a bit more noticeable on this kit, but it still works.

It’s always good to see a team who has a dark kit opt for a white away shirt. The kit may help them improve on what was a dismal record away from home in 2017-18, when they only won four of 19 away from Vitality Stadium.

The third kit, described by the club as “beach glass,” is one of the better third options in the league. It manages to give Bournemouth a distinctly different look without some weird design or pattern. It’s also a kit that’s genuinely fashionable, due to the color.

Some kits are so bad that you wouldn’t want to be caught dead wearing them outside of the stadium. That’s not the case here. The transparent black club crest is also a nice touch.

I’m not entirely sure what “beach glass” is, but I suppose it makes sense for a team that plays on the south coast.
