Middlesbrough’s 08/09 home kit sees a return of the white band across the center of the shirt and white splashes underneath the sleeves. The Errea logo and the Middlesbrough crest take up their usual right and left spots on the chest with sponsors Garmin taking up center-stage on the white band.

I have to say - I like this kit. Middlesbrough have both a traditional kit and a shirt that breaks the traditions of the Premier League by doing something different with their home kit. Good work overall.

On the away kit that “Boro” will be wearing this season, Errea and Middlesbrough did a much better job with the design and appeal of the kit. Positined on a solid field of white, there is the sponsor logo and Errea logo in black, which blends nicely with the small black line down the right side of the jersey. The Middlesbrough crest is in the tradtional red on the left chest, and the most unique part of this kit is the gold around the collar, sleeves and right side of the kit.

On the away kit I think both manufacturer and club nailed it. This is a classy looking kit that is something I can see fans purchasing to support “Boro”. Great job on this kit, 1 for 2 is not a bad average.

As you should know by now, I am a big fan of the simpler kits. I do not feel there is a need to be flashy and busy when dealing with uniforms. Middlesbrough unveiled their new crest, which on a side note I think is great, and their kits for the 2007-08 campaign. Their home kit is a simple red kit made by Errea and has the sponsor logo and Middlesbrough crest in white. There is also a nice touch with the white piping from the collar down the sleeve as well as a white collar and white ends on the sleeves.

My only compaint about this kit is that it looks like it is more for a recreational league on a budget rather than a Premeirship caliber team. Not saying this kit is not functional or classic, but it does not lead itself into the quality of other kits in the world. Middlesbrough just unveiled their new crest, maybe it is time for a new kit manufacturer.
