CHERRIES fans have now seen the kit their team will don for the upcoming campaign, with the club releasing their home shirt for the 2023-24 season earlier this morning.
The seventh jersey designed by kit providers Umbro features a return to a move familiar look after last season’s zig-zags, with the club describing the kit as having “traditional style” black “classic stripes” with a red “pin stripe.”
The collar – or lack of – is listed as a “grandad style neck” by the club’s Superstore.
Whilst the reception from fans were largely positive, there were a few supporters pointing out another price increase, following increases to season tickets and regular ticket prices.
It is the third time in four seasons will have to pay more for a replica jersey, with the fee for a men’s shirt increasing from £55 to £65.
Prior to that, Cherries fans had paid £50 to wear the same colours as their heroes during the 2021-22 season.

Bit too much black for me. Need to see it with shorts and socks. But a thumbs up so far. #afcb

I haven’t bought a kit for a few seasons, that might change with this one. Absolutely beautiful that. I’ll wait till away/3rd one is released. #afcb

It's a nice kit, but at £65, to quote the good folk on @BBCDragonsDen I'm out #afcb

I love that the #afcb shirt avoided the solid back!

I hate that the shirt is £65. An 18% hike on last season.
We had it so good with Max. pic.twitter.com/CCgORt9OTL
Really like the kit.

Anticipated a price rise.
Won’t be paying £65 for a shirt though.
See you in the end of season sale.
