If we have a third kit.

Should be simple for shirts; home red with white band, away blue and black strips and third kit white. No need for a professional designer, job done for the foreseeable?!

Sorry: Just seen I have effectively repeated dooderooni's post above when a simple like would have done :ROFLMAO:

Home: Red with white band, white shorts and white socks. Modern variation on the white band.
Away: Blue and black stripes, black shorts and black socks. Red detailing.
3rd: White shirt, white shorts and white socks. Slight/subtle red detailing in the fabric of the shirt showing the topography of the Cleveland Hills. 70's/80's badge used.

The white kit is pure 🔥🔥🔥

I think the home kit would have to be red shorts and red socks if the third kit is all white

and I'd go for a black trim on the away shirt..

I'm going to have a lay down..
 
Yeh, that makes sense and I suspect that is the reason... makes me wonder how much it costs and why they did such a poor job in 2007 knowing its an expensive process?!
It should have been placed with a Design Agency that specialised in Corporate ID.

There were a few things, quite a lot of firms locally were using the 1986 badge. Someone made a comment to Steve Gibson saying how well the club had done in their 18 year history to reach the UEFA cup. It was done by a art/design student at college at the request of Steve Gibson.. the first one was dreadful as the Middlesbrough didn't line up. I think his mum or relatives were defending him at the time saying how upset he was that folks were slagging off the design.

They sold some of his art prints in the club shop fairly recently.. they were dreadful too.

The design itself was chosen by Steve Gibson.. so make of that what you will. Whoever signed off on it wants their heads clattering! It was a summer of catastriophic decisions made by Middlesbrough only to be exacerbated with the recruitment of Gordon Strachan the season after.

I did like the 1986 badge, I thought it was brilliant. Made by a professional at a time that was historically important to our club, to change the date I guess would have been too easy. Most fans like me were gearing up for something on the same sort of level as Sunderland or Newcastle.. they both had impressive club crests and now we were to get ours also. Massively disappointing.
 
Thanks Newyddion. I'd heard the bit about the 1986, 18 year history etc. before but not the rest of it.

It is interesting to me that the design was done by a local college student. I may be wrong but that suggests to me it was done relatively cheaply. So if you can keep the costs down by using an "amateur"*, why couldn't we do so again? I've seen "amateurs"* on this messageboard, twitter etc. come up with some cracking designs for a new badge. I am particular keen on a design I saw on twitter by a lad called Nick Budrewicz:

*no negative inference intended by the use of the word amateur, I simply mean somebody not employed by an advertising agency/corporate design company.

Two issues with this design in my mind:

1 - the first is major, 86 must be changed to 1876.
2 - The use of the transporter. I like it but I would also accept ships from the town crest as shown in your example Newyddion.

Overall though, I'd take anything except the monstrosity that we currently have 😭 Even replace the ships/tranny with the Club Bongo logo, and I'd still take it.

I'd just have the lion and the MFC underneath
