Renowned American actor, Michael B Jordan, had bought a minority stake in English club AFC Bournemouth in 2022. The Creed star was invited by Bill Foley to invest in the club after he took over in 2022. Now, he is set to design the club’s kits which will go on sale in a few days. 

Bill Foley called Michael B Jordan a “terrific person” and he loves football. He claimed that by getting the actor as an investor, they hope he can increase the popularity of the club thanks to his stardom. Foley further added that Jordan is down to earth and is very engaged in the club.

He’s a very down to Earth, common individual. He hasn’t got stars in his eyes. He loves football. He is really helping us in terms of our international marketing and marketing in the US. He’s designing a kit that will go on sale shortly. He’s engaged and we love having him. I believe he’s going to be in Bournemouth today and tomorrow to watch practice. He’s all in and it’s good to have him — he’s a terrific guy

Meanwhile, the club’s kits are designed by English sports equipment manufacturer, Umbro. The brand signed a 5-year contract with the club in 2017 but signed an extension in 2021.
