Seems as though Ryos are giving their finger to the club for not being official suppliers by getting the shirt out there before official release

I kinda thought the same thing. If that is the case, that's pretty disappointing from them.

Why do you think that? It is business after all isn't it?

honestly I doubt it.  Its probably just a f**k up.  

being the non official supplier they probably saw the A League release it and thought it was fine to put them up, and didnt want to miss out on sales when other had it up too early.

Or its a dirty dick move, what do I know?

Im really digging the away shirt though.

$88 for the new kit from RYOS this weekend! Jeeeez.

Don't suppose they'll be able to print the official A-League font though seeing as they aren't tied to the Nix anymore.

Home kit is not as good as before.

Away kit is pink fluro with unicorns spewing lasers. Not sure about that one.

Similar to this then?

The club can nominate/promote an "official" or "preferred" re/seller but that isn't the same as exclusive - just as it has always been, same with purveyors of beverages, food, bed, and whatever else they do a deal on.

Now that we're allowed to talk about it, why have we gone back to a black away jersey? Weren't we trying to avoid wearing black in the Aussie sun?

Like them both, which is bad, because I'll spend more money.

There will also be a new A-League font for names and numbers this season

I hope they found a font with an upper case "i"

Will they be flogging off the YF tees as well? Keen for the Shortland St one.

Not sure if the way the stripes get wider towards the midriff will be particularly flattering.

Agree with you Rosco disapointed That we have gone away from what's on our badge. Not that they will care but I intend telling the club that. Would love to hear the reasoning behind it or is it just an attempt to get us fans to part with more cash

Well, obviously they want us to buy new kits. Like every other club in the world.

I don't like it either, but meh. It's just a kit. I'm sure I will love it if we win the league.

People angsted over the neon stripey when it was released... It's called change.

West Brom and Southampton have gone away from stripes for a season before and gone back. I imagine this is a two year deal but will go back to a stripey next time.

Maybe they could do a stripey charity kit?

For a charity kit I'd like to see a three colour (Yellow, Black, White) vertical stripey.

and marketing.

Have not felt any urge to get new kit for a while now. Old stripey is best stripey.

It all comes down to the colour of the socks.

What colour will the socks be?

Won't somebody please remember the socks??

If we're a real professional team we should have matching undies also.

With you on this defiantly not excited about the look of home strip.

So when is it officially launched /announced. Like player announcements seems YF get the scoop before anyone else.

I really like them both but can only afford one so going to get the away one as it is really different and I have about five yellows!
