CHERRIES have treated supporters to a double-drop of both the new home and away kit, with suppliers Umbro delivering up the goods.
The 2021-22 home number is a mostly red shirt with thin black stripes, black shorts and black socks, adorned with a red trim.
The shirt features a stylised crew neckline with black ribbed back collar which follows through to the shoulder panel and ending at the cuff.
The away kit is all built around a plain white design, with additions of the club's red and black colours featuring throughout the kit – prominently in a smart looking sleeve.
Cherries also plan to release a third kit later in the summer, meanwhile the home goalkeeper kit features a yellow shirt with black and yellow patterned sleeves.
The general consensus seems to be one of satisfaction with the away strip, however the home garments have seen some fans feel it’s not the ‘traditional’ Cherries that they’re used to.
However, on our Cherries Daily Echo Facebook group, Brian Churchill commented: 'Like the home bit of an ac Milan look. Away is boring'
Here's how Twitter reacted:
Good morning Sunny Sunny Bournemouth.... We’ve got tighter tripes and a cool white away kit. What are your thoughts? Have a wonderful #friyay.. Something else to talk about. UTCIAD #afcb #talkingcherries #tacklethesilence ☀️☀️🍒 https://t.co/C96eUOFZuM

Am I allowed to say I don't like the new home kit?

I just feel that, a) the red is not cherries red and, b) the stripes are too thin.
Of course, #afcb could play in yellow and pink and I'd still cheer on the lads, so it's a small thing.
Maybe it'll grow on me.
Love it 😍 great shirts!

Away is lovely home I’m not a fan of

So kit review, happy to see none of that tonal badge nonsense. Thin stripes had to happen sooner or later, will look better in person than in motion. Put the away collar on the home shirt 🔥. Will the third be black/blue, purple/green, or blue/yellow??? #afcb #utciad
