I'll give it a C-. Does the job, but the design is below average. The jagged outer stripes and the asymmetrical neckline are awful. Prefer the Reebok stripey.
Hmmmm. OK I would give the old stripey an "A" and this one a "B+".
Report card: "Stripey has fallen back a bit this year after two good years. However Stripey is still performing well and can easily make progress in the future. At least there isn't any use of red."
the shorts are boss!
i think the reebok one sucked balls
i only liked it so much at the time coz we finally had stripes, just like we wanted
the adidas one is way better, wish we'd done it right the first time
The Reebok stripey was the strongest looking brand in the league, and was pretty unique. Well at least there are still some stripes there.
I like this more, but I want long sleeves and I suspect they won'ty sell those... booooo
On the pre-production sample those yellow patches on the front of the shoulder were black. Much better in yellow.
My only dislike is the move to a more neon yellow. I prefer traditional wellington gold.
will the socks be yellow or black? If yellow, then we are gonna be a bright side!!!

From updated DoomPost article:
Award Winning journalism!
Phoenix fan Norman Gruebsch, 35, of Pukerua Bay, said the new jerseys were "ok", though he liked the old ones better.
He would not be buying one for his 16-month-old son Lukas. "It�s just a bit dear."

Now I'm no Grandadi, but did I predict, or did I not, that the DoomPost would find some way to drag today down? Add to this yesterday's non-story "SOME DUDE SAYS TERRY FELL OFF A BARSTOOL" and it's clear what the agenda is.
Launch was a bit of a fizzer.
Would have been better if someone had actually got the last target.
If the targets had been pictures of Burgess and Nippleface there wouldn't have been a problem.

I agree. But have you walked into the Adidas shop lately? You need sunnies just to enter!

Quite!
Although I supoose he could grow in to it!!!
(Hey-soos wept etc etc)
From what I have read on facebook and the Sydney FC forums, the Sydney fans are jealous that our adidas kit is so much better than theirs.
Rapt with the new kit. Real sharp, bold and bright, no collared,shrinking violet(blue) stuff here mateys
...
Bodes well for a similar attitude from the Nix this season perhaps? 60 days and counting.. COYN!!

Loving ricki wearing nikes :)
Iffy looked slimmer and fitter than he did at the beginning of last season. Or is that just the new kit?
Its funny how 5 players were present at the launch and only two wore new stripeys. Yes, Ifill, Brown and siggy were wearing JUST the track suits. No stripeys underneath. Siggy kindly showed that sneakingly to some bystanding fans when asked to show his stripey.
I hope we can buy hero shirts. Especially seeing "Leo Burtos" (quote the Doom Post) has signed on with adidas.

Indeed you're not, but you are a young woman of formidable talent and incredible vision. The Dom is indeed peopled with anti-Phoenix scribblers. Can't they go somewhere else and develop some real journalistic talent (e.g. Fox News)?
Think they look sharp!
Fortunately don't need to replace 'The Suit' as it still ties in nicely...

"It appears on the Replica Phoenix Jersey, the badges fit within
the yellow stripes but on the authentic version(Hull city kit) they are in-between the stripes"
A-league logo and phoenix crest being too far apart is discussed on other footballing forums. 'I' think it has got something to do with 'Three stripes' concept. Now is the time to compare our new kit and Hull city 2011-2012 kit.

Well, all the FourfourTwo pics seem to have the yellow in the shirt balanced out to the last years 'golden yellow' colour, and the fact that only two of them wore the shirt might mean that the 'Nix plan to have the same colour as last year butt hey're just waiting on Adidas to make them correctly?
Would think that the neon yellow is what we'll get - it's the same as the track suit yellow.

The big man is indeed leaner and meaner than ever.

Ricki, Tim Brown and Ben Sigmund are all Nike-contracted.
Ifill and Durante are with Puma.
They were all rocking their sponsors' shoes. Leo of course in adida$.
I really like it. Enjoyed the launch. MC average.

Puma - the rivals! Two icon players for the club (+ same sponsor as two other clubs dear to me)

Especially when he didn't have a go at hitting the targets after the crowd wanted him to.
Why the hell did they put 2 different shades of yellow on it? Looks kinda odd.
Other than that, brilliant... Shame about who is making it though.

only on the poster, not on the actual shirts.
1. Stuff comments are about as useful as a panda in Tottenham.
This panda would be useful about now.
P.S. Like the new kit. Although still debating whether I like it more than the last one enough to fork out $140...

The new kit DOES look cool. The big poster have fluro(ish) stripes. Dont think they inteded to do that but it was probably supposed to be a 'glossy' look? (me thinks)
Actually - I don't get all this hate about adidas for the Nix shirts. We aren't being charged $220 and the kids shirts are more expensive than last year but not excessively.
As Smithy has mentioned there are YF options and probaly some cheap old season stripeys if you look around (didn't the Tawa outlet stores have them cheap a while back?).
As for kitting out the kids - how about a supporters polo first (that's how we started: $35 each)? Plus flags, clappers, caps, thundersticks... could probably do all that and still be short of $120.
