According to majority owner Bill Foley, Michael B. Jordan is designing a kit for Premier League team Bournemouth.
Jordan has been co-owner of Bournemouth for just over a year, after leading a minority group that invested in the club when Foley took over at the end of 2022.
The Hollywood superstar attended a match on the south coast of England shortly after taking over in December 2022, and 13 months later he was said to be 'all in' to help Bournemouth boost its global image.
So much so that he even designs his own kit for the football team.
“Mike is a great guy,” American businessman Foley said of Jordan during an appearance on CBS Sports.
