Boro’s traditional away kit. Very good effort from Errea.
Far better than last year’s white and gold monstrosity.
(yea, I know!) - What?
It’s the same as Sunderlands away kit. Although we unvieled it first.
2 - inter kit. seemed kind of obvious to me.
This kit is based on Boro’s away kits from the 1970s.
All Boro fans know this. It appears that others don’t.
Nice bit of naivety from Soccerlens there; I think you’re about 30 years overdue with the Inter knock off comment!
(might want to check a kit archive site next time)

And I think this one settles the question of who copied who!

Thats nice!!!…
not unlike Sunderland Though!!..
Boro first introduced this away kit back in 1968 or 1969 I believe and had it for most of the 1970s. They’ve brought it back occasionally since then and this design is widely accepted by Boro fans as being Boro’s traditional away kit.
Sunderland meanwhile, as far as I know, have never had a blue and black striped away kit.
