I think the aqua/navy combo was lovely, original and based on a really good story. But the navy on its own just doesn't do it. Why not bring back the nod to Woolongong with the red, or as WhoStoleMySock said, black? The training wear looks nice though.
Playing in black in the Aussie summer? Yeah nah... but navy isn't much better.
Not sure how you get the free name & number atm, it still includes the $25 fee at the checkout for me. Was gonna combine that with the members discount code that was sent out during the week.
Nix gear is at Rebel Sport now. I may be wrong but I don't think it's been at Rebel since Paladin has been the supplier.

Also, the black training shirt looks amazing in person. If they had chosen that as the away jersey this year it would get my vote as the best ever away jersey.
The explanation from Phoenix general manager David Dome is that the club has two principal partners, Spark and Oppo, who are each guaranteed an even share of the front-of-shirt sponsorship.
Oppo, a mobile phone brand, has its logo on the yellow home kit (and had it on the one-off purple kit), while Spark, the longstanding New Zealand telecommunications company, has its on the blue away kit.
Surely it would make sense to wear the New Zealand company logo on the kit we’re supposed to wear in New Zealand…
so many factors to tke into cnsideration though, not just "we have to show this logo 50% of the time", clashes with opposition factors into it obviously, and I'm sure SPark or Oppo dont care when/where their logo is shown, one a global mobile phone company the other a National Telco that would love the TV coverage.
So, don’t we have 50/50 home/away games or close to it? This is a bullshark explaination. What it is, is pure laziness and lack of organisation to get the mix right. If not that, a piss poor piece of sponsorship business by the club management.coochiee

it makes perfect sense, we get two lots of cash to be the main sponsor on one of the kits - which probably worked out financially better than just one main sponsor. The trade off is that both sponsors wanted as much home view time as possible so the 50/50 arrangement was made. Dome explained that this was best financial decision they had available, which given Welnix lose tonnes of cash per season you can't really be angry about.
As usual, in this thread, a bunch of financial geniuses who are convinced that Welnix would be making boffo box office if only they would listen to the reckons of people typing on forums from their garage

....and those who think they are much better than that, but nonetheless find themselves in here posting along with the rest of us

Well it is a discussion forum, bad takes are allowed. You haven't added anything to the discussion either, just put them down.
Anyone think that the Nix actually pay for their Paladin strips?
Many other clubs have done it before , but would be surprised given their size?
It was said Scottish clubs used to do it in the early 2000s, I know Aberdeen did because it came via a 3rd party. Was a weird system which I’m glad we got rid of.
Do we think there will be a sale at all on the current Nix kits, considering it's the end of our season?

I jumped on it as soon as the email came through! $29 for shipping hurts, but it's definitely fair enough being located here in Australia.
