Club officials conducted a survey with fans, held face-to-face conversations along with workshops both at the Riverside Stadium and online and even discussed the matter casually with individuals on match days.
And now they have officially notified the FA of their intention to alter the badge.
The survey from the club found that 57 per cent of supporters are in favour of the change, with 19 per cent against the idea.
Middlesbrough have revealed that the change will take place from the start of the 2026-27 season.

The new badge will then remain permanent.
An update from the club read: "As well as providing extensive feedback across a cross-section of our fans; Season Ticket holders, match-going fans and long-distance supporters, based locally and further afield, young and old, there is a clear and consistent consensus among that feedback which can now be used to drive the design process.
"The club would like to take this opportunity to thank all supporters who have engaged with the club on this project so far, and we look forward to sharing further developments in due course."
Middlesbrough ended the 2024-25 season 10th in the Championship table with 64 points from 46 games.

Following the final match of the campaign, head coach Michael Carrick revealed he expects to stay on despite failing to reach the play-offs.
He told the BBC: "I'm carrying on. We've got a good squad.
"My focus is carrying on to what I can say to the boys today, tomorrow, moving forward to get ready for another good season."

There's lots to get better – Thomas Tuchel demands improvement from England
Boos greeted the half-time and final whistles in Barcelona after the 6,950 travelling fans witnessed a forgettable and frustrating display against the side sat 173rd in FIFA's world rankings. Only three European nations are placed lower than Andorra, who dug deep and had a couple of half-chances on a night when Harry Kane's 50th-minute goal was the difference as England edged the Group K qualifier 1-0. Aiming for a better performance on Tuesday 💪 — England (@England) June 8, 2025 The Euro 2024 runners-up 'got away with it' according to Kane and head coach Tuchel was surprised by the team's 'lack of attitude' in the final stages of both halves. 'The last half-an-hour I don't like it all because I think we lacked everything that is needed in a World Cup qualifier,' Tuchel said. 'There's lots to get better. At the moment everything is a learning (period) so we're smarter than before. 'We have the minimum, the points in our pocket, and we will talk about it honestly and directly and try to do it better.' Put to the England head coach, who wants the side to play Premier League-style football, that Saturday's performance showed Rome was not built in a day, he told BBC Radio 5 Live: 'Absolutely. 'It is in the moment a learning (period), it's our second camp. I think we can do much better, we have to do much better, all of us, and that includes me, and from there we go. 'In the moment we have nine points and on Tuesday we have a very strong opponent (in Senegal) to do things better. 'It always takes two to tango, but we need to do better and breaking down deep opponents. We played now three times against a 5-4-1, but there are no excuses. 'The lack of counter-pressing and the lack of ball wins and the lack of being aggressive in duels is basic in football. 'If you don't show this, then it becomes more or less a game that we saw, which is not attractive, which does not have the quality that we wish and that we want to show to our supporters, who were absolutely amazing and outstanding, so there's a lot to do and from there we go.' England returned home from Spain straight after Saturday's game as attention turns to Tuesday's friendly against Senegal at the City Ground in Nottingham. The Lions of Teranga sit 19th in the world rankings and are comfortably the toughest test Tuchel has faced since taking charge at the start of the year. The England boss is looking forward to facing Senegal but says the Andorra match cannot be swept under the carpet given the limited opportunities to prepare for next summer's World Cup. Our best is still to come! Important win away from home, onto the next 🦁🦁🦁 — Harry Kane (@HKane) June 7, 2025 'I don't forget because there's not so many matches,' Tuchel said. 'I think it's necessary that we have a good look at it and then present in detail to the players what we don't like, and to present it in a video session what we have to do better and what are the standards and what we did good. 'It's not a day where we just say, 'OK, we have the result and let's keep on going'. We have not enough time to do this. We have not enough matches to do that.'
