True - it is growing on me over time.
 
However with old stripey it was heart at first sight.

http://www.ryos.co.nz/wellington-phoenix/2011-range/pre-order-phoenix-replica-away-shirt-2011.html

so looking at the Ryos site the away shirt is different to the one in the ad... yellow shoulders and white box in the middle? that looks pretty weird, I hope they go with the straight white shirt, for the sake of the players' away-self-esteem more than anything.

Still can't decide about the new shirt, I kind of like it but the 'pinches' into the sides of the side stripes trigger my OCD as much as the texture of the Wellington Beds logo iron on transfer from last year.

My beef is that there are so few stripes to begin with, so I feel those pinches even more.

I might come around to it yet, just need to find a way of understanding the pinches before I can build a relationship with them. What is going on inside their minds?

Through my rose tinted glasses I can see orange on the shoulders and the sleeves (which are still short by the way).

Undies or daks.  I don't wear nickers (although the thought has crossed my mind), but thanks for that anyway!

OKAY, from the horses mouth at Adidas, the long sleeve away like the long sleeve home is player allocation only, however adidas are listening and are aware there is significant demand. If this is the case it will be looked at for next year provided the demand and minimums are met. So its in your hands really.
 
As for the image we posted this morning to start taking pre orders on the away shirt sorry  this was an incorrect image. The away shirt will be as per what Leo was wearing.
 
Hope that sorts a few things out for you

How do they measure demand for long sleeve? By how many short sleeves are sold?

Which would seem a little silly as a lot people who want long sleeve but dont want to wait will get a short sleeve and may not want/need long sleeve in a year

Any more information on this, do the home shirts we'll be buying having differing yellows as it appears in the RYOS photos?

I don't know if there is a really logical way other than say a petition (which the tards are trying to do). The only other way I can think of is if Adidas did a small run of long sleeves and see how they sell.

IMHO it seems that Adidas is just saying they might to keep us happy, the goals they set seem a bit arbitrary.

I would really like a long sleeve and prepared to pay more for it.

The only problem with this is that Adidas know 1000 'likes' doesnt equal 1000 sales, so i cant see a FB page being of too much success.

Also Phil, will the shirts have the Sony sponsor on the front? (not sure if youve confirmed this or not yet, sorry if you have)

If this is the case, I'll wait for the shirt *with* a sponsor. Please get one soon, starting the season with no shirt sponsor is just embarrasing

This is exactly the issue though.  If Adidas are anything like Nike (who I've had a bit to do with) then a "small run" is hundreds of shirts.  They have to convince retailers to buy these, AND stock the short sleeve, and that is a pretty high risk position for those retailers.
 
The one thing that's certain is that nobody is going to buy two shirts, so if you don't produce two types you are cutting down the risks.
 
I'd like a long sleeve as well, but I appreciate the realities from Adidas's and the retailers' perspectives.

Why?  It's like the first stripeys - a collector's item or the "AW vs some Middle Eastern team on 14 Nov 2009" tickets (before we knew it was Bahrain).

Why would there be no sponsor's logo on the front of the shirt? Isn't that the point of sponsorship? I'm confused.

They need 1000 pre-orders for it to happen
