Vitality Insists on Horrible Logo for Every AFC Bournemouth 26-27 Kit
1 hour ago, by Chris
- Sponsor Logo Problem: Vitality's insistence on using its signature bright pink circular logo on all AFC Bournemouth 26-27 kits has significantly detracted from the designs and caused negative fan reaction.
- Simple Design Fixes: By making simple edits like dropping the circular background and using standalone script lettering for the Vitality logo, the kit designs could be instantly transformed into aesthetically pleasing kits.
- Negative Brand Impact: Vitality's rigid use of its high-contrast pink logo, unlike other sponsors who adapt their branding, is creating a negative brand perception, associating it with being cheap rather than contemporary.
AFC Bournemouth and Hummel recently completed the Cherries' 26-27 kit collection, but fan reaction has been heavily ruined by one glaring element: main sponsor Vitality's insistence on using its signature bright pink circular logo.
Simple Edits Transform the Bournemouth 26-27 Shirts into Pleasing Designs
Hummel delivered nice home, away, and third kit designs, yet the vibrant pink sponsor badge creates a massive color clash that completely disrupts every single shirt's aesthetic. We created two simple edits demonstrating how easily the design could have been saved. By dropping the circle entirely in favor of standalone script lettering, the jerseys instantly transform into good-looking kits.
Indeed, many other brands rely on their "signature" colors, but not on every kit. For example, BVB sponsor Vodafone keeps its logo all-white for the BVB home kit, while relying on its red color for the away and third kits.
While the high-contrast pink logo succeeds in grabbing attention, it might not be positive for the brand's reputation. Many now connect Vitality with being cheap, not contemporary, when it comes to branding.
Should Vitality use a friendly logo next season? Comment below.
