Middlesbrough 2016-17 — The Adidas Away Shorts from the Premier League Return Season
2016-17 Season: Middlesbrough FC returned to the Premier League after a seven-year absence, and Adidas kitted out the club for this much-anticipated comeback.

What these shorts represent
The 2016-17 Middlesbrough season is one of the most emotionally charged in the club's recent history. Promoted to the Premier League at the end of the 2015-16 season, Boro arrived in the English top flight with a clear ambition: to establish themselves there long-term. The Teesside club returned to the big stadiums, the big matches, and with them, the Adidas Premier League kits signed for the occasion.
On the pitch, Aitor Karanka had built a competitive and organised team. Players like Álvaro Negredo, back in form after his stint at Valencia, as well as Cristhian Stuani and Gaston Ramirez, formed a group with real quality. Ben Gibson in defence, Adam Forshaw in midfield — a team of character, rooted in teamwork, typically Boro.
Moments etched into these shorts
The return to the Premier League after 7 years of absence
Boro had not played on the pitches of the English top flight since the 2008-09 season. This return in 2016 was a true resurrection for a club and a city that had never stopped believing. Wearing these away shorts means carrying that symbol.
A Premier League season of giving it your all
Middlesbrough held its own against the league giants — Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City — with a defensive solidity recognised by all English press. The away kit was worn in some of England's most legendary stadiums during this campaign.
The last season of a Boro generation
This 2016-17 season marked the end of a cycle patiently built under Karanka. Some players would not be there the following season. These shorts are therefore also a testament to a team that gave everything to keep Boro among the greats, before a relegation that no one wanted to see.
Authentic vs. Replica
A vintage authentic short has nothing to do with a simple shop replica. It is a piece genuinely produced for the season, conforming to the standards of equipment used by professional clubs at the time. The finishes, materials, construction details — everything differs from a mass-market replica. This is what you have in your hands here.
With a condition rated 8/10, these shorts show wear consistent with their history — that's what makes a vintage piece authentic. Not an item taken out of its packaging and never used, but a real football piece that existed in the context of that season. The overall condition remains very good for a piece of this age.
Vintage sizing guide
Vintage sizes from the 2010s do not always correspond to current sizes, even with Adidas. An S.Boys from 2016 might correspond to a contemporary child/teenager size, but cuts and measurements can vary depending on the production year. Never rely solely on the label when ordering.
Before buying, measure your waist and compare it with the actual dimensions of the shorts. If you have any doubts, do not hesitate to contact us directly — we are here to help you find the right size and avoid any unpleasant surprises upon receipt.
Why have it in your collection
The Middlesbrough 2016-17 season is one that left its mark in the North East of England. A historic club back in the top flight, a kit manufacturer like Adidas to dress this comeback — it's a rare combination. Away pieces from this season are rarely found on the vintage collector football shirt market, and children's/youth sizes are even rarer to find in good condition.
An 8/10 condition on an eight-year-old piece is honestly a great find. There aren't many in this condition on the market right now — most match shorts from that era have taken knocks, too many washes, fading. This one is still holding up well and deserves a place in a serious collection or on the back of a young retro football fan.
To go further
A rare piece from a season steeped in history for Boro — if you let it go, it won't be back anytime soon.
