The White band debate will always be a thing, mainly among the older generation who obviously tie it to the Jack Charlton era. 

I'm under 40 (just) so I've personally experienced plenty of seasons without and with the band and to be honest, I don't have strong feelings either way.

I can see why some people do though and that's fine.

Same here.

I'm late 40s and started following Boro around 87-88 - just missed out on the liquidation crisis!

Done a check and since then we've had a white band on 12 kits (plus 3 "sashes") out of 33. So I don't see it as absolutely essential, but recognise there is a historical link there.

There are other ways Boro could differentiate themselves, if the club and kit makers wanted to get really creative, but for a bold, simple look, the white band is pretty distinctive. Its good but I don't view it as imperative for me to like a shirt.

Like I said before I think certain fans' perceptions are coloured by the era they started supporting Boro.

Presumably yourself included there.

You started following during one of the periods where the band was rarely used, so it matters less to you.

I was a teenager in the 2000s when the band made a big comeback.

I started following Boro late 80's/early 90's; so i grew up without the white band. In my opinion, i still think it's an essential piece of our identity.

Getting unveiled by Ravanelli and Maccarone later this month on an undisclosed date.

Later in June 😕

Away kit similar to Italy kit?

Milking this like, just release the fooker

Looks like a purplish away kit then.

[TeaCider24 12,614]

No proper collar, which disappoints me, but we'll see how the whole thing looks.

It'll be hard to be worse than most of Hummel's neckline efforts.

[Smogzilla 7,478]

White collars on both? (Excuse my whilst I over-analyse a few pixels)

Stretching it out like.

[AnglianRed 6,320]

If they're getting Rav and Macc to do the unveiling they'd better be a bit special.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the away kit will be blue and black, similar to 95/96.

Can't see us having green two seasons in a row.

Looks like I was half correct!
