Middlesbrough to Unveil New Club Crest for 150-Year Anniversary in 2026
The decision to refresh the badge comes as part of the club's efforts to celebrate its rich history and engage with its passionate fanbase. Middlesbrough FC, founded in 1876, holds a significant place in football history as one of the oldest clubs in the world. The forthcoming 2026-27 season marks a monumental occasion in the club's journey, and the introduction of a new crest is seen as a fitting tribute.
Acknowledging the importance of the crest to supporters, the club has expressed its commitment to involving fans in the design process.
Lee Fryett, Boro’s chief commercial officer, expressed the club's enthusiasm for the project, stating, "Any crest that is adopted must represent that proud history and what the club means to our supporters, as well as our vision for the future."

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
