2026 season - (150 years) Sesquicentenary of Middlesbrough FC - Return to this badge for the season?.

Definitely have it as our home unless we can find details of an older one, it's a special year so the club like some other clubs should try to do something very special and unique
 
Torn between really liking the idea of a historical inspired shirt for such a big anniversary, and thinking that that shirt and badges looks awful 😂.

I'd quite like us to adopt a new badge for the anniversary, taking the best of our previous incarnations.

I know loads on here hate the current badge anyway.
 
The earliest designs would be the three before the polka dot white shirt. The first one is navy blue.

I am always four square behind polka dots. Standing shoulder to shoulder etc.

Crystal palace have an actual eagle at their games. Perhaps for the wotsitcentenary we could have an actual lion at the Riverside for home games.

We should also paint all of the Riverside red like in high plains drifter.

I think we should have an actual lion at all our home games for the season. It could lie in the opposition dug-out during the match.

See you like the idea of tripe already.

You’ve got to be PLB to think that badge is awful. 😜
 
Really like the shirt, I’m at a wedding in a few weeks and I reckon I could pull it off with a nice pair of brown loafers
 
That’s amazing. Nice work. Would be very happy to have this as an anniversary kit or third shirt to cover both sides 2026.

Was our first season 1876/77?

Navy blue home shirt, the other three as away alternate away shirts boom.

Reminded me of the footage of Diego Costa signing for wolves. When asked if he minded having to hold 3 wolves on leashes for his promo video, he admitted he was absolutely terrified.
