The one off shirt was being discussed in April 2024. They ignored many of our suggestions for this season’s kits though so who knows what will emerge…

I expect the blue to be dark & the Maltese Cross to feature…

We should have randomly had some halves swapped this season as a tribute

I've just noticed Ian @Herbie6590, that some of those kits have opposite colours to other tops. Wonder what the reasoning for that was unless they weren't too fussed about things being uniform.

It's all white, blue V neck collar and a Maltese cross. Honestly you don't want to see it

The latter I presume…🤷‍♂️

Just a theory, but I expect in those early amateur days the players were expected to provide their own kits, and they bought what was available at the time

That 150th special version, simply the new badge in gold with '150 years' below it is the sort of thing Rovers could and should have done.

Anyone and everyone looks at it and knows straight away it is special and what the occasion is. Then back to normal the year after.

We've instead adopted a white rose on our away kits because it's cheaper to do a monochrome badge than the full colour version and that's about it - nobody outside of the Rovers fanbase would have a clue that we're 2 weeks away from such a monumental anniversary.

 

And to think the current Middlesbrough FC only came into existence in 1986

I'm pretty sure that was a fan made design, as I'm sure the original post said it was.
