Middlesbrough’s Dorman Museum is offering a unique experience for football fans and history enthusiasts alike with its latest exhibition.

This exclusive display delves into the rich history of Middlesbrough Football Club (MFC) by showcasing over 100 of the club’s football shirts, spanning from its early days in 1886 to the present.

The Boro Shirt Museum is not just a collection of old kits; it’s a narrative of how football, culture, and fashion have evolved together. Visitors can trace the evolution of football shirts, from the simple and functional designs of the late Victorian era to the modern, iconic jerseys that have become symbols of pride for fans.

Among the highlights of the exhibition are shirts that mark significant milestones in the club’s history. These include the jerseys worn during the club’s glory days at Ayresome Park, where many memorable matches took place, as well as those from the Riverside era, which saw the club achieve its first major silverware. Each shirt tells a story, not just of the game, but of the players who wore them and the fans who cheered them on.

One of the most nostalgic aspects of the exhibition is the way it connects visitors to the past. Long-time supporters will find themselves reminiscing about legendary matches, celebrated victories, and the football heroes who made history in these shirts. The exhibition also offers insight into the club’s challenges, triumphs, and the undying spirit of its supporters, who have been there every step of the way.

But the Boro Shirt Museum isn’t just for football fans. It’s also an exploration of Middlesbrough’s social history, showcasing how the town and its people have evolved over the decades. The exhibition provides a fascinating glimpse into how the sport has influenced the community, reflecting broader cultural and social changes through the decades.

Visitors of all ages will find something to enjoy, whether it’s the chance to see the evolution of football fashion, learn about the history of one of Teesside’s most beloved institutions, or simply indulge in a bit of nostalgia. The exhibition is family-friendly and offers a perfect day out for those looking to connect with the town’s heritage.
