Will be the first home strip i dont buy. Very disapointed in what has been presented this season. Will look like all yellow from the stands.
 well,I think it's better than last years horror, but pin stripes needed to be much bolder.
Ain’t the consensus on last years kit that it’s one of our best? Tohu just needed to be a bit darker

Black shorts, black tohu and it would easily be a top 3.

Maybe a new supplier would be up for it, Paladin are near the end of their current deal.

Yeah walked past RYOS today too to have a look. Think the away jersey is the better of the two. Not a fan of the home one at all. Such a missed opportunity.

What about a white top with a Yellow & Black sash, Yellow collar and Black edges on the sleeves, for a change??

That just confirms that we all have different ideas. I like many i have spoken to think last years was one of the best and had the black been bolder it would have been right up there. Since it appeared on our first badge i have always been and always will be a fan of a decent stripey.

Only change would be sleeves to have the same stripes as the body of the shirt otherwise come on give it to me.

Agreed, I’m just not good enough at photoshop to get the tohu on the sleeves lol

Definitely a top I'm not spending my money on this year. Don't really like any of them, though I thought the green keeper one looked ok at first but photos of it that aren't website produced ones, it appears to be a washed out green. 

Likely just sticking to my Yellow Fever merch this year.

It's nice that the club are trying new things, but at this point I would've thought there had been enough styles of home/away kit that they'd know what styles sell better and stick with them. 

That being said, maybe it is predominately yellow kits that do sell and that's why we have pinstripes that faint.

I see nix have launched their lifestyle range today. Grey hoody looks pretty smart. Basketball shirt has more pinstripes than the main kit 😂

Talking to a few people they are surprised as us that the stripes are so light. Dont think its a case at all of wanting an all yellow kit. More a case of whats been supplied isnt what was expected and guess its to late to fix it. The number of people i have heard say they wont buy it there could be some good specials on it later in the season.

I don't keep up with all the merch and offerings every year, but at least its good to see we're not flogging off bloody stubby holders, air fresheners and all that nonsense.

Yeah that singlet is quality. Apparently we sold 25% of the merch for the entire league last season.

I like it very much. i'd like it if they did a Yellow version as well. Replace the yellow pinstripe with a black pinstripe.

Finally a singlet! Love the look although I'd have preferred one with the sponsor and logo on it. Maybe next year if this one sells well

 Could one of you photoshop geezers mock up an away kit concept with this? I feel like a black kit with the alternating white/yellow stripes would go hard

Does anyone know anything about this shirt? It's been on trademe for ages but I swear i've never seen it anywhere else and I can't find any pictures of it online.
According to the post it’s from 2011 and is player issue with the number 19. Danny Vukovic was number 19 in 2010/11, so it could be a goalkeeper training jersey?

I don’t believe the match kits have ever had numbers on the front, whilst training kits do.

I think invert it so it's white with black and yellow pinstripes would look even better.

I saw a new Phoenix home shirt in the shop.
Its not good, it looked like the shirt was inside out, stripes very poorly demarked.
Im afraid Aucklands is a lot better, but course I wont buying that either

Can confirm the basketball singlet absolutely slaps!

Sizing wise, is pretty good too. I'm usually a 2XL (more for the length than anything). Length is good. Neck and arm holes probably only just slightly tighter than what I was expecting compared to other basketball singlets I have of the same size. 

Very minute details to be honest, but if it helps anyone sitting on the fence re: purchasing, then I hope this is of value to you.

That yellow and white pin-stripe kit above would sell like hotcakes—it's a work of art. How would you incorporate the tohu? Maybe into the sleeve cuff and/or shoulder stripe?

That kit would have us back to best dressed in the league, this year we are well down the field.

Also got a basketball singlet and also very happy with it. Went a size up on what I'd normally go and that was a good decision.

No worries. I got that mine a day or two after my birthday, so was going to be too long a wait until the next one. 😂

I'll probably go and end up picking up a 3XL when they do the end of season clearance as well.
