Middlesbrough Football Club, commonly known as Middlesbrough FC or Boro, has a rich and diverse history that reflects the club's identity and growth over the years.
Founded in 1876, Middlesbrough's early kits came in a variety of designs and colors, including blue-and-white stripes and plain blue shirts. However, in the early 20th century, the club adopted their iconic red and white kit, which has since become synonymous with Boro.
The decision to use red and white was influenced by the local cricket club, Middlesbrough Ironopolis, who had a red and white kit. The chairman of Middlesbrough at the time, Thomas Gibson-Poole, decided to change the colors of the club to match the colors of the cricket club. The red and white ensemble remains a constant feature of Middlesbrough's identity, earning them the nickname "The Boro". The club always wears a red shirt with white shorts and socks as their home kit.
Over the years, Middlesbrough has occasionally experimented with different designs and shades of red, but the iconic red and white remains the top choice for the home kit.
Middlesbrough's away and replacement kits have come in a variety of styles and color combinations, but the red and white color scheme remains the most recognizable and fan favorite.
In more recent times, Middlesbrough's kits feature modern designs and advances in fabric technology, giving players more comfort on the pitch.
As with most football clubs, the sponsor logo has become a prominent feature on Middlesbrough's kits, providing much-needed financial support to the club.
