Help an American find a kit please!

Hi, I'm a die hard New England Revolution supporter from MLS, and as you may know, the former club of Tony Lochhead. I was always a fan of Lochy whilst he was at New England, but not many other fans shared my sentiments. As a result of my support of Lochhead, I've become a WPFC fan by default. I don't see much more than the highlights, but I do like the team.

So my question was, how on Earth can I get a WPFC kit, customized with Lochhead's name and number, and shipped to the US? It doesn't seem that you have an online store, or if you do I'm as blind as a bat.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Agreed, Lockhead is the man.  He's definitely appreciated here.
 
Bad news though, for now there's no online store and for now ya can't buy numbered and named tops.  My guess is the club is waiting until they have a named sponsor for the front before selling customised ones.  But who knows.

Actually there is an online store (well you may not call it one), you can find it at www.wellingtonphoenix.com , look down the bottom for a link to it, you can always email them and tell them your situation, they do take credit cards of course, should be no problem in ordering a shirt  ... I don't there is no tops atm but they were getting some in this month.

And you can always put the name and number on yourself :)

I think RYOS.co.nz do online ordering of Nix shirts but, as LB mentioned, they are currently out of stock nationwide.

Its no longer a problem.

Champs sports in Wellington will customise a shirt with the name and number, their website link is around here  somewhere.

Can the good folk at Champs confirm their name and number customisation is exactly as the player's strip?

I might be talking bollocks, but I don't think Champs use the official Reebok A-League numbers.I'm sure someone on here will know.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Thanks for the help, but I'll probably just wait until an online store pops up. I've heard they'll be changing next year's kit anyways, so it would probably be more beneficial to wait, no?
