Theres not a lot you can do with stripes apart from tweak a few bits. Just look at Newcastle Uniteds adidas kits through the years. They could make the back all black instead of yellow.


1975-76 and 1995-97 best ones

agree with you there J82, unless they go for the pin strip look then I see no reason to improve the current strip - and unless it's changed dramitcally I'm not sure I'll be buying the new one.

Just look at other kits around the world. 

We'll either get:
1) a current 2012/13 adidas kit or
2) a new 2013/14 kit


As you can see, we have Stoke's old kit this year. http://www.footballshirtculture.com/11/12-kits/stoke-city-fc-201112-adidas-home-kit.html 


So our new kit will look like this years (left) or maybe sunderlands (right):



Or WBA's:

Personally, I do not like the current shirt simply because there are no stripes on the back. I understand you need a big square block for the numbers etc but it can hardly be called a stripey when its only stripes on the front of the shirt and nothing on the sleeves or back.

I hate the big black box. I would like stripes on the back, but if that means the big box of doom then no thanks.

My alternative would be using something like the Zoopla on WBA shirt. The outline around the letters means that you don't need the big block on the back as it is then readable across both colours. So if we had black numbers (And names) with a yellow outline then no need for the box of doom.

There's no issue with the box if the club actually sold shirts with players numbers..

I prefer Sunderland's one to be fair. But again prefer this with contrasting numbers, not black box of doom.

Also I dislike the box of Doom even with the numbers on it (Just saying)

Put a black outline around it and it works:

It even kind of works with black text with a white outline (not as good as white text though):

However, I do think that the best option is what this guy did during a Phoenix away game against Sydney a couple of seasons back:

At first it didn't, but I think he may have told Russel to ignore the A-League font and give him a capital I.

While we're sort of talking names and numbers, it would be good if the club or RYOS were able to provide official name and number printing service.

Also - we need to go to odd years replacing each kit - so we get one new kit every year (assuming we use home and away for 2 seasons each) instead of 2 new kits every 2 years.

On the podcast, they spoke about having a special shirt for each of the 2 or 3 home & away games next season. It is a good idea but you would probably struggle to sell enough to make it worthwhile. So rather than doing one for each venue, what about doing a special black one to use at those games?

Maybe something like the Man City Black/Grey away strip, so we can retain our stripes. We could then encourage the locals to dress in black, as we did for the 'Black out the Heart' game. It would also look ok in the Zone and All Whites games.

Will they auction the one off shirts as well? Seems crazy to have a different one at each game. Are they going to theme them for the region? Black and White in Napier. Blue and White for Auckland.

I hope not. Those Wellington Warriors jerseys were not Warriors jerseys at all. They were Wellington jerseys with a Warriors logo on it. Something subtle would be far better.

I don't think you would sell enough shirts customised to the regions. As as example, Victory fans had to get 1000 people willing to buy long sleeve shirts before it as viable to get an order done. That is why if we do it, I would think a Home & Away shirt for all the games would be a better plan. I suggested black because it would be as easier concept to sell to the fans 'Black out the heart' all over again.

Yeah I would hate to think how many shirts the Warriors had left over from Wellington that they will never sell. They didn't sell their normal 2013 jerseys here for that reason.

Warriors currently have 6 different jerseys for sale on the CCC website (I thought there were more): Home, Away, Welly, Inferno, Pink & Heritage. That's insane...

I think home, away & alternate is a good idea, Stripey, White & Black would make sense. But a different one for each home away game is silly.
