A FOOTBALL club has been overwhelmed by the number of supporters voting for their choice of colours for next season's away strip.
About 2,500 fans have logged on to Middlesbrough Football Club's website in five days to vote for their favourite design, modelled recently by Wonderbra model and player's wife, Adriana Karembeu.
Hundreds of other supporters have used voting cards at club shops and the Riverside stadium.
"We've been amazed by the number of people who have voted already," said Mike McGeary, editor of the club's website. "It just shows the power of the internet, because Boro fans from all over the world can vote for their favourites.
"We're confident that, by the end of the voting, we will have topped the 5,000 votes the club received in total last season."
The closing date for votes is Saturday, March 17.
The designs include a purple and white strip, royal blue with white trim, navy blue with sky blue trim and blue and black-striped.
