Are Middlesbrough Football Club the ultimate
#Barclaysmen
?
New stadium in mid-90s
Dodgy foreign imports
Journeyman English players
Legend in the dugout
Relegations
Cup finals
Improbable run to a European final
Now in second tier oblivion
What do you reckon
@thecultraspod
?
So this week I would like:
1) Boro away kit
2) Boro goalkeeper kits
3) 3 more Boro signings
4) All of the above
@Boro
and
@ErreaOfficial
I’ll leave it with you.
Once
#Boro
announce Conway this will be the current options (Dawn) in the squad.
A quality starter and strong reserve in every position (maybe apart from LB).
For me this is at least a squad that can get top 6. With the players we have I think we should be aiming for top 2.
Can’t underestimate the impact Southgate had on Boro when he arrived.
A true leader that took us to cup success, two European campaigns, 7th in the league and walked out as Boro captain in a UEFA Cup final.
Legend.
#Boro
and
@ErreaOfficial
from 95/96.
The best Boro away shirt (and possibly best ever shirt).
A classic Boro home effort.
And the jacket is the icing on the cake.
So...I had a go at the
@classicshirts
#KitsOutChallenge
and decided to go for all the non-Boro shirts in my collection.
✅ Champions League winner
✅ World Cup ‘98
✅ Early 90s Umbro
✅ Some great shirts
Don’t you just love football shirts.
So this is LA Galaxy’s supposed away strip for next season.
And in all the time adidas spent with us they never made this for us. Crazy!
Could’ve been a brilliant shirt for us.
So...managed to get this on
@eBay
for an absolute bargain (in terms of such a classic shirt). And it arrived a day early. And it’s incredible! Absolute stunner! Amazing condition for its age too!
The greatest Boro shirt of all time*
Nothing but love for this. Matching collar and cuff details, the red trim and the best blue/black colour way.
What’s the best shirt your team ever had?
*my opinion is fact
So remember that pile of boxes from this morning? No, so get over yourself Rob we don’t care and don’t pay that much attention to what you post.
Anyway, this arrived today.
Match worn Boro shirt from 94/95 and Bryan Robson’s Champions. Class.
1995/96 home and away shirts. The first two full Boro kits I ever had. Absolutely love these shirts.
@ErreaOfficial
let’s see these back as retro reissues. They’d sell out fast!
If you could pinpoint the season when your football obsession started when would it be?
Mine? 1995/96.
This sticker book was the one. Time to complete it I think.
There’s always a story behind the shirts we want. This one is no different.
As a 7 year old I was bought a fake ‘holiday’ version of this shirt from Magaluf in ‘92 by my uncle. Papin 9 emblazoned on the back.
Now I’ve got the real thing.
A holy grail.
🇫🇷 😍 🇫🇷
So, after watching this, and having a pennies after some shirt sales I decided to buy one of my holy grail shirts.
It’s waiting for me. At home. And I’m in meetings until 4.15pm.
The. Wait. Is. Killing. Me.
New shirt setup. They’ve been stored away for too long. But here they are.
The centrepiece.
A new addition. Inter Milan 1984-85.
Number 3.
Shirts were built different in the 80s.
So…
This arrived today as well. And yeah, it’s amazing.
I mean I don’t really need to describe it because it does all the talking for me.
Worn with a range of sponsors that season so this one from
@classicshirts
is a player issue version.
Also, who doesn’t love George Weah.
THANK YOU EVERYONE!
Huge milestone reached. Finally hit 2,997 followers. It’s taken a while but really happy to reach this milestone.
Look out for more Ajax, Boro, Champions League and shameless retweeting and liking of my other accounts.
And here’s shirts you’ve seen before.
Love this in the flesh. Great effort from
@Boro
and
@ErreaOfficial
with this one.
Suits us well as a third kit, good use of the black and red on the sleeves. Broken lion pattern is quality.
#UTB
New addition. First MLS shirt.
If Adidas had used this design for Boro I’d be would’ve sold more than any Boro shirt in history.
Love the stripes and for a ‘stadium’ style shirt the material is actually really nice.
Bargain price too!
Home and away sets based on the same template but different colours. Can’t help but feel like when this is done right you can’t go far wrong.
Would love to see more in this vein.
I’ve been looking for a shirt challenge recently.
I’ve seen people collecting shirts from each league in the world and all manner of things but this is it.
I’m going to try and collect the shirt worn by all the Champions League winners.
Say goodbye to my bank balance!!
So
@92FootballBook
has reached number 1 on the hot new releases charts.
I’ve out paced Vinicius, out thought Arteta and bypassed United (for now).
Pretty cool I think - even if the chart algorithm is one of life’s biggest mysteries!
Just before we forget…the manager has been backed with 9 new players so far.
Is not a case of not being backed, it’s a case of continuing to bring in players we want. If nothing else happens this window so be it.
Next summer we will NOT need another rebuild.
2️⃣k followers!!
Thanks to everyone for following and supporting my descent into shirt challenge oblivion.
As recognition for this milestone I’d like you to follow, like, retweet and tag two mates WHO NEED TO GIVE ME A NEW SHIRT FOR MY COLLECTION.
(this may or may not be real!)
Merry Christmas to everyone who I’ve talked to, met, interacted with, bought shirts off, sold shirts to and everyone else who I haven’t done any of those things with.
Stay safe everyone and I’m switching off social media for a couple of days to enjoy some family time at Xmas.
One of the best Boro home shirts ever (if not the best).
I’m all for bringing back the centralised logo and badge next season, trim on the band and Boro on the back.
Just an absolutely brilliant shirt.
Who knows if and when
@ErreaOfficial
will return…??
Just want to see this build up play again.
Please
#Boro
.
❌ Stop dropping Barlaser deep.
✅ Let the CBs play higher.
✅ Get the LB pushing on when McGree comes inside.
❌ Need midfielders linking the play and not slowing it down.
We have the personnel. Just do it.
The golden trio!
Thanks to
@Ftprint3
for the printing and Football Icons for the name sets.
Then get comfy and watch the full 96/97 season review just to see how mad those years were!
Really pleased to have played a small role in getting
@KITmagazine_
off the ground and it looks so good in print.
Well done to all the writers and designers involved and
@IainBentley
for bringing it all together.
Bring on Vol. 2!
First shirt for the new season!
🇫🇷 Marseille | Home | 21/22 🇫🇷
An absolutely beautiful design, light material and just an all round great looking shirt.
Thanks to
@TheKitsbaia
for a helping hand with this one.
I know I’ve had some stellar deliveries since I started buying an insane amount of shirts during (and after) lockdown but as a Boro fan this is pretty amazing!
92/93 | Away
92/93 | Third
96/97 | Away
Thanks to
@TomHogg18
for sorting these out for me.
#UTB
So here are my top 4 of 2021. Bought and sold a few over the year but these really stand out.
Milan | 93/94 | CL final shirt
Juventus | 95/96 | CL final shirt
Bari | 91/92 | Home shirt
Monaco | 89/90 | Home shirt
🇮🇹 Milan v Barcelona 🇪🇸
Champions League Final 🏆
18th May 1994
Massaro ⚽️ ⚽️
Savićević ⚽️
Desailly ⚽️
Capello masterminded victory over Cruyff without five star players and avenged the defeat by Marseille from a year earlier.
The shirt is pretty special too...
Another addition to the Boro collection is one I’ve been very excited to receive.
A match worn/issue shirt which is a first for me.
And it’s Alen Boksic.
The ultimate raffle haul arrived! Got enough Italian goodness to last me a lifetime! Thanks to
@WuHonda1
for putting this card out there and Lady Luck for shining down!
