This \u003cstrong\u003eUmbro long-sleeve goalkeeper jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e, worn between the posts during that campaign, is a direct witness to an era when the Cherries battled against England's biggest clubs every weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eJersey details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:2;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017-2018\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClub:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bournemouth (AFC Bournemouth)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Goalkeeper – long-sleeve\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit manufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Umbro\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSponsor:\u003c\/strong\u003e M88\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\/10\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eState:\u003c\/strong\u003e LITTLE PULLS, SLIGHTLY USED PRINTINGS – authentic wear of a worn vintage jersey\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eWhat this jersey represents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eIn 2017-18, \u003cstrong\u003eAFC Bournemouth\u003c\/strong\u003e, under the guidance of \u003cstrong\u003eEddie Howe\u003c\/strong\u003e, continued its incredible Premier League journey. The club from Dean Court — renamed Vitality Stadium — held its own in English football's elite, something the vast majority of observers deemed impossible just a few years earlier. This was the season of confirmation, where the Cherries were no longer a surprise but an \u003cstrong\u003eestablished Premier League club\u003c\/strong\u003e, capable of competing match after match with financially much better-resourced teams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBetween the posts that season was \u003cstrong\u003eAsmir Begović\u003c\/strong\u003e, who arrived from Chelsea in the summer of 2017 as the number one goalkeeper. An experienced Bosnian international goalkeeper, he brought real defensive solidity to the team. In front of him, players like \u003cstrong\u003eJoshua King\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eRyan Fraser\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eCallum Wilson\u003c\/strong\u003e brought an offensive flair to Dorset. This long-sleeve goalkeeper jersey is exactly what the Cherries' last line of defense wore during that memorable campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eMoments etched in this jersey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePremier League survival secured for the 3rd consecutive year\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinishing 12th in the Premier League in 2017-18 was far from insignificant for a club that was still languishing in League One just a few years earlier.

Having a goalkeeper of this level — international and having played for England's biggest clubs — in Bournemouth's goal is a symbol of the Cherries' ascent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUmbro and M88, a partnership rooted in Premier League reality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sponsor \u003cstrong\u003eM88\u003c\/strong\u003e appeared on the jersey for the first time this season, marking Bournemouth's entry into a new commercial dimension. \u003cstrong\u003eUmbro\u003c\/strong\u003e, a historic English football kit manufacturer, dressed the Cherries in technical attire designed for the highest level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eAuthentic vs. Replica\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003evintage authentic jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e is not the same as a supporter replica. The authentic version is designed to professional player standards: a more fitted cut, superior quality technical fabrics, and meticulous finishes. It's the model designed to perform on the field, not to be worn in the stands — and you can feel it as soon as you hold it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThis one displays a \u003cstrong\u003econdition of 8\/10\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a few small snags on the fabric and slightly worn printings — exactly what you'd expect from a \u003cstrong\u003eworn vintage goalkeeper jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e, not an item fresh out of its plastic packaging. This controlled wear is proof that the jersey has lived, that it has a story. For a serious collector, it's non-negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eVintage size guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage Umbro jerseys\u003c\/strong\u003e — and this applies to most manufacturers of that generation — generally run smaller than what we're used to today. A vintage M often corresponds to a modern S\/M depending on body type. Era cuts are more fitted, less oversized, in the spirit of professional game wear from the late 2010s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBefore you commit, grab a tape measure: measure your chest circumference and compare it with the jersey's actual dimensions. For this \u003cstrong\u003eBournemouth goalkeeper jersey size M\u003c\/strong\u003e, expect approximately 50-52 cm flat chest width — or a real chest circumference of 100-104 cm.

Goalkeeper kits are always produced in smaller numbers than outfield jerseys, and long-sleeve versions even more so. Add to that the historical context — a pivotal era for the Cherries, their third season in the top flight — and you have an item that holds value for anyone who closely follows English football.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003e8\/10 condition\u003c\/strong\u003e, this jersey is in genuinely good shape for a seven-year-old item. There aren't many in this condition on the \u003cstrong\u003evintage collector jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e market, between those that have been ruined in the wash, those whose printings have fallen apart, and those that never resurface. If you're looking for a representative piece of the Bournemouth Premier League era under Eddie Howe, it's now or never.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eTo learn more\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height:2.2;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/AFC_Bournemouth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eAFC Bournemouth – Wikipedia\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.footballkitarchive.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eFootball Kit Archive – Jersey History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003ePremier League – Official Site\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-style:italic;line-height:1.8;\"\u003eThis jersey is an authentic page in the Cherries' Premier League history — if you know what that represents, you already know what you need to do.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bournemouth","offers":[{"title":"M","offer_id":54009682297107,"sku":"248762","price":59.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/4839\/3235\/files\/eng_pm_2017-18-AFC-BOURNEMOUTH-GOALKEEPER-LONGSLEEVE-SHIRT-M-248762_1.jpg?v=1775402155","url":"https:\/\/supporterid.com\/en\/products\/2017-18-afc-bournemouth-goalkeeper-longsleeve-shirt","provider":"SUPPORTER ID®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
