18. Bournemouth (Away)

PL Feature Away Copy

There's no historical reason for Bournemouth's sky-blue away strip, besides the town being situated beneath it. Suppose the ocean blue shorts create a pastiche of the seafront, though there really should be a happy yellow sun on the shirt to complete the effect.

Bournemouth Fixed

Fixed.

The kit succeeds in being practical; it's completely different from the home scheme, meaning the Cherries don't 'require' a third strip through poor planning. But it's also featureless and sports a dodgy recoloured badge. Inoffensive.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
