Bournemouth

AFC Bournemouth are one of English football's most remarkable success stories, a small south-coast club who rose from the brink of League Two relegation to establish themselves as a Premier League outfit under the guidance of Eddie Howe. Founded in 1899 and playing in their distinctive red and black stripes, the Cherries have punched well above their weight for over a decade and built a loyal following that stretches far beyond Dorset. Founded in 1899, Bournemouth play at the Vitality Stadium (capacity around 11,000) in Bournemouth, Dorset, England. They compete in the Premier League. Key achievements include reaching the Premier League for the first time in 2015 and finishing 9th in their debut top-flight campaign. Nicknamed the Cherries, they wear red and black stripes. Bournemouth's red and black striped home kit is a classic that connects the club's history from the lower leagues to the Premier League. The shirts worn during Eddie Howe's remarkable run from League Two to the top flight are cherished by Cherries fans as symbols of an extraordinary journey. The club's first Premier League season kits from 2015-16 are particularly fondly remembered, representing the moment a small club from the south coast arrived on the biggest stage in English football.
