BAD news for Drake fans is good news for AFC Bournemouth supporters - with the ice block near Bournemouth Pier melting away to reveal the Cherries' new kit supplier.

As previously reported, Hummel are set to become the Cherries’ kit supplier from next season as the club’s deal with Umbro comes to an end - something the club confirmed this week.

Speculation around the big block of ice near the Pier had been that the stunt could be related to rapper Drake.

To hype up the release of his upcoming album Iceman, Drake decided to unveil its release date with a massive ice sculpture in Toronto, where people could find when the album came out inside of it.

But a picture taken through a gap in the appears to show the Hummel logo.

It’s believed to be the new shirt supplier, but yet to be confirmed officially by the club.

More as we have it.
