New Home Kit - On Sale Tomorrow

Last updated : 03 September 2004 By MRC Press Release
The home strip is being launched exclusively from the club’s retail stores at the stadium and in the town centre.

The kit will be available to season ticket holders only from 9.30am to 5pm tomorrow. Supporters must produce Voucher Y from their season ticket books at the time of purchase.

The retro-style shirts, sporting the popular white chest band, will then go on general sale on Sunday from both stores.

The stadium store is open from 10am to 3pm on Sunday, whilst the town centre store in Captain Cook Square will be open from 11am until 4pm.

Adult shirts are priced £35 and £40, with children’s shirts at £26 and £30. Shorts are priced from £13.50, with socks from £7.

Commercial Manager Graham Fordy said: “We are giving our season ticket holders first opportunity to purchase the new home strip, as we did when we launched the away strip. This is just one of the many benefits of being a Boro season ticket holder.

“However, we have a good quantity of stock in all sizes, so there is no need for fans to worry."

“We’d also point out to supporters that the home shirt has a more traditional baggy style, compared to the tight fitting away shirt.”

The launch of the home strip has been delayed due to Boro changing shirt sponsors to 888.com over the summer.

"We apologise to our supporters for any inconvenience caused by this delay and thank them for their patience,” added Mr Fordy. “Ideally, we would have liked to have launched the home strip before the season started, but this proved impossible."

“However, we’re sure it will prove a big hit with Boro fans and we can look forward to a sea of red and white at the Riverside when we host Banik Ostrava in our first ever UEFA Cup tie later this month.”

Tickets for the home leg of Boro’s UEFA Cup first round tie with Banik Ostrava are available from the stadium ticket office between 9.30am and 5pm tomorrow (Saturday).

The ticket facility at the club’s town centre store will also be open from 9.30am until midday.

Season ticket holders must produce Voucher B to claim their usual matchday seat.
