Middlesbrough 08/09 Errea kits fully waterproof E-mail

Middlesbrough’s kit manufacturer Errea have revealed that the club’s new 08/09 home and away shirts are resistant to water and other liquids thanks to unique technology that utilises silver and titanium in the shirt fabric.

Errea’s marketing manager Fabrizio Taddei believes supporters will be amazed by the technology too.

“Middlesbrough are the first and only football club in the world to have utilized this unique material in a football shirt,” said Fabrizio.

“The new shirts are not only fully waterproof but are also resistant to other liquids,” he continued.

Errea are at the forefront of incorporating new scientific breakthroughs into the manufacture of sportswear and utilised ‘nanotechnology’ to make the water-resistant nature of Boro’s new shirts possible.

Nanotechnology is an emerging science which involves working with matter on an ultra-small scale, using individual atoms and molecules.

Fabrizio explains: “Whereas other clothing is often made waterproof through a coating process, tiny particles of titanium and silver have been woven into the yarn of Boro’s new shirts to create a unique fabric.

“We are confident that the new technologies utilised in the manufacturing of the shirts will be appreciated by the players and the supporters.”

very useful for all the beer throwing from Newcastle United's , Sunderland's and even their own fans

I've always wondered if this would be possible. Great. But it won't stop Boro bringing out 2 new kits every season.
Other Side  - Um...     |2008-07-23
How do you wash it then ?

Very appropriate considering the crappy weather in the north east. Do does the water sit on it like its been coated with wax? Why has errea come up with this technology and not nike / adidas etc. I reckon this is a marketing campaign to sell more shirts, i doubt it fully works.

i bet those shirts will still stick to their bodies when they're sweating.
Forest Fifer   |2008-07-23
Is this a piss-take?

How come no other teams wearing Errea have this?

The kit is rather impressive! I would love to see other teams to get water-proof, and even would love it if my sunday league team have waterproof kit especially in winter where it pour with rain all the time lol.
boomboom   |2008-07-23
blah blah blah
what's the point in having a waterproof football shirt-

the inside gets coated with sweat and the outside with rain and El Hadj Diouf's spit.

fricking pointless

Who has a waterproof shirt? That'll be great for keeping the sweat in.
