Middlesbrough 150th Anniversary Commemorative Kit Font Revealed
, by Phan Tich Giay
Middlesbrough FC debuted a bespoke font on their special 150th anniversary commemorative kit during their match against Wolves at the Riverside Stadium. Lettering and numbers specialist ID Unlimited provided the custom typeface for the occasion, designed specifically to match the limited-edition navy blue jersey crafted by Castore.
The commemorative font features an elegant gold finish that coordinates with the special 150th anniversary club crest and brand details. The numbers adopt a distinct inline double-contour structure with curved, retro-inspired geometry, while the player names are arched across the upper back in clean, refined typography. The look reinforces the heritage theme of the kit, which references Middlesbrough's founding in 1876 when players wore blue cricket whites before the club eventually adopted its traditional red.
The special nameset was worn exclusively for the anniversary celebration fixture and will not feature on the club's regular 26-27 league shirts, giving the rare commemorative jersey an even more distinct collector feel.
