AFC Bournemouth Primary Logo

afc-bournemouth-primary-logo

Starting from when they changed their name from ‘Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic’ to "AFC Bournemouth," for the very foresighted reason that they’d be first in any alphabetical list of English clubs (ahead of Aldershot, Arsenal, and Aston Villa).

It was in 1972 that a player’s head and a football appeared on the crest. This emblem, with slight modifications, has been the core of the logo ever since.

During the 1980s the crest design shortly featured two intertwined cherries and a black and white football, Bournemouth having earned this nickname due to the colors of their kit, and Dean Court originally being built next to a cherry orchard.

Today’s crest was first used starting in 1971 and resembles an animation of a player’s head and a football. The silhouette is that of Dicky Dowsett, the former striker, and commercial manager of the club who was instrumental in dropping the Boscombe suffix and the design of a new identity.
