Middlesbrough's new adidas home shirt for next season sees the return of the white chestband that has become such a popular feature with supporters over the years - and it's now on sale.
The chestband has become something of a trademark since it was first worn by Jack Charlton's Second Division champions in 1974 and reappears for the first time since 2008-09.

Next season's shirt, which includes the three white adidas stripes on the sleeves, will be paired with red shorts with a white trim and red socks.
The away kit features a shirt in striking sky blue and navy, with navy shorts and sky-blue socks.
Two goalkeeper kits will be introduced next season. The first is in a fluorescent orange/pink design described by adidas as "warning", the second is turquoise, described as "super cyan".
Both feature half-black sleeves with white stripes and matching socks.
Many of the products use innovative Climacool or Climawarm technologies, which work together to regulate the athlete's body temperature better than any single fabric can.

On the shirts, the home is great, a new twist on the chest band, and Sky Blue and Navy almost always go together like bangers and mash.
The reason that the GK shirts also do have the space, is because every non-major adidas team have the same goalkeeper jerseys...
No way did they all come back negative
They feckin better have!!
Don't think they should give up football for an acting job.
Love the keeper shirts. Liking the black. Sorta looks like jumper under the top
From a Brum fan.
... And now they come up with a template (and I'm referring to the away kit here) where the lines would naturally break and what do they do? Just continue the lines breaking into a different colour, creating some light colour on light colour clash!
Home kit is a nice one though. Can the sponsor though, if it was the 333 bet company from a few years ago it would've looked a LOT nicer.
All the pictures suggest the orange is home GK and sky blue is away GK - which makes little sense as they are similar colours. Not a criticism just a tad confused if they are meant to be that way round
Looks like they want to make it out to look like a short sleeve keeper top but actually it's long sleeved. They're playing with our minds...
Oh yeah, the newcastle kits are always vastly different aren't they? censoreding humbugs.
