New Adidas Strip

Pretty impressed by Huawei being the new sponsor, not much of a big deal in NZ but worldwide they are a HUGE deal!! they are supposed to be the next big thing in affordable smartphones. I remember listening to a tech info piece on the radio here in the UK about them investing hugely in the worldwide market and taking on, and matching, Apple, HTC and Samsung in the near future. They were talking about them producing a smartphone that was alongside the same technology as the Iphone but at a fraction of the cost, I seem to recall the £90 region being talked about.

Overall a big global company for the NIx, and we should be pretty happy to have them tbh....well done the Nix management!!

Wikipedia has some great "facts" about the new sponsor. They also sponsor B.Dortmund.

Biggest signing of the season. 

They may be Chinese Spies but Huawei to judge them?

Huawei on it!

Good sponsorship. After a bit of research I got myself a Huawei Ascend G600 (or something). Its a great Mid range smart phone, outdoes the Samsung Duos which was the nearest price/spec competitor which my work mate has, large screen, dual core processor, decent amount of ram. Handles everything quickly.

My phone now matches my football club! Now how about some Yellow fever cases for the Huawei phones guys?

The only question is... How do you correctly pronounce the name?

H'wah-wigh is how it's pronounced 

So when will ryos have stock.....?

Get on down to Ryos, the official retailer of the Phoenix and pick up your new seasons Jersey. Available from Monday pic.twitter.com/VcAZOFYbyW

Any links with EPL clubs? The club did speak about a EPL side coming down next season, I could see it tacked onto a Chinese tour backed by Huawei. It also links in with wanting to build links in Asia, could go on Chinese tours during the off season.

Good man

("H'wa-way" would be my phoenetic spelling)

Although the "Wah-way" pronounciation used today is more or less the Cantonese version - despite the English spelling being in Mandarin pinyin.

Great sponsorship, but too much blimmin red for my liking.

NZ Soccer Shop have this for presale 

Poor form not to have the shirt on here today:

It is run by RYOS I think? It isn't on their website either.

Who's seen it in the flesh? Is the yellow slightly less fluro than the last one?

 

Well you can hardly call it a stripey when there are only 3 stripes on it. The stripes should be on the back as well

(just realised - Adidas, 3 stripes...... still not a stripey though)

Love it actually

think the new sponsor kinda pops more with the red - better than the black which just merges in.

If you squint your eyes it looks like the Hyundai Logo. Not much you can do with the logo of a multi billion $ company. I like the new shirt. 

Love the new shirt. Didnt get the previous one so will get this one. 

Does Ryos do official name/numberings?

They didn't model the away strip (it is rather pants anyway I think - or maybe it's rather bikini-esque).

Really like thee home kit. Bit disappointed they've gone for the same colors on the away kit. Bit same same. I think every alternate away kit should be white but then do something different on every other kit

Whats the away kit ? Same as last year?

Seems it might be the yellow bra kit we have played our pre-season games in after all.

if it is the alternate kit how often will we realistically be wearing it - we only really clash with CCM when away. Every other away game we should be wearing the home kit.

Can't say I will be replacing last years away strip with this years!

I won't replace it but will probably add it.

There are far better pictures of that kit then the Newcastle one.

I like it..
More than the last one too.

I think the away kit will (might) look a lot better once the Huawei logo is added...I think the ugly-ness mainly comes from the big A0 sized plain white paper hanging on the chest...

BTW - i love Huawei's logo, far better than Sony's on our shirt.

Why does Manny have a massive left leg compared to his right ????

I wonder if the new sponsor watched a match, heard the fever going off at the opposition at corner time and thought.. "we should get involved with this team, they keep chanting our name"
