Phoenix kit - The return of the stripe

That map of NZ looks bigger.

the yellow sleeve/black back combination is icky

Latest Deals from NixShop

Just saved over $100. Seeing that back of the shirt. yuk. 

I like it, it's an improvement on last season's half arsed effort.

I'm gonna get one.

I suppose it doesnt look to bad with a name and number on it plus the rest of the kit. But I prefer the back of the old one

I kinda like the black back tbh

It's like Juventus last season when they had the stripes in the front and the black back. Nice point of difference.

Rebel Sport having a Black Friday sale, can get the new top for $83.99 and if you don't have a store nearby, postage is $5

Adidas is gone. Which brand are we gonna pick up now?

Would like to see New Balance give it a crack. Their Liverpool home kits are things of beauty

Adidas is gone?

We'll need a special kit for the last season. Although I have heard, the club can only supply the number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 transfers

Yes, there'll be a new kit supplier for next season.

Follow WU suit and use Kappa ;) Mark may even be able to get us a discount 

I don't think so.

Jerseys could look very different next season, no Adidas and maybe no more Huawei. Wonder when we will know who the next manufacturer will be, given WU announced theirs

Am I the only one who misses this kit? Would love to see some sleeve stripes again. And can the logo please be embroided this time?

(On a side note, If you have a medium or large of the 2010 kit that you don't want anymore I will gladly buy it off you)

Come back Sony, they had some awesome halftime prizes and contests.

Where did you see that? I've heard nothing..

Pretty sure that Domey said in his speech at the awards night that Huawei are staying for the next season. 

Was confirmed at the awards night.

i still have one of these that just hangs in the wardrobe, it has not got the sponsors logo's on it though, has the hyundai on the left sleeve no sony, or right sleeve sponsor. has the number 9 on the back with no name. if interested let me know. i can chuck a photo up later if you want.

That is great news if true.

Think Andrew Bowater said something like "just fleshing out the final details"

Anyway back to the kit, seems like the big factor in changing is because Adidas is such a big beast globally that we get little attention/priority and so we have to order our kits 18 months in advance.

So I'd expect us to be going to a suppler who is a bit more local who have more design/production flexibility. 

Doesn't Sigmund have a some sort of sports brand?

Maybe ISC

Very Mariners but with black

I guess that's the problem with yellow and black against yellow and blue. Not that many football shirt templates on the ISC site.

Hope they signed the deal before Trump got involved, if it's just verbal it might be off now.

Time to ditch the stripes

ISC aren't really a great soccer brand, they're more rugby/AFL affiliated. I'd rather someone like Puma, they do stripes very well.

Like 2B said, there were problems with Adidas given how large they are and where their priorities sit, and there'd likely be similar problems with Puma. So there's every chance that the new kit supplier will be a smaller/boutique brand that can be more responsive to the club's needs and ideas.
