In my eyes, it's simple things that make a good kit, it's not extravagance or someone spending too much time on it, it's minor alterations to a simple design. Link to post Share on other sites

We're virtually the only club in the country that has a white band, and it's a rarity around the world, how can it be generic? It's the opposite. Plenty of clubs play in plain red. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It's the opposite. Plenty of clubs play in plain red. Sorry, that's my misunderstanding of my own language. 🤣 I just meant that it's not exactly like a huge amount of work has gone into it, putting a band across a chest isn't awe-inspiring, it's just a very simple design. Just because we might be the only team who uses red with a white band doesn't make it special to me in any way. I honestly couldn't care less about who else plays in plain red or if anybody else doesn't play in a white band. As long as we stick to red or red and white on the home kit and don't do anything too extravagant. Plenty of teams play in red, plenty of teams play with red and white, I don't want us to change our colours because of that and I don't want us to pick a design because nobody else uses it. I just want the kit to look good and that's irrespective of what other teams are doing. Link to post Share on other sites

I want a white band and a black and blue striped away shirt too. just give us the classics. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

That was Boro for me when I was a kid in the 70's. The band all the way around the shirt was pretty much unique to Boro? Link to post Share on other sites

I actually think the club probably moves back to plain red every now and again to boost sales when they revert back. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DevKWat 2,371 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Pretty much all our greatest moments have came wearing all red, keep the white band to go with it and that should be a constant for this club. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
