The Black Friday sale is now live

The stuff that is 80% off are the clearance things from last season

But it seems everything is reduced at least somewhat - including this season's shirts (which are about 20% off)

Accepted that some of the shirts from my collection no longer fit me if anybody is looking to add to theirs:

Anniversary - M
2007 Home - Tag is long but fits like M

Do these signatures look like they are already in the printed material rather than signed onto the material?

Yeah, like they were applied with the signature stamp tool on Adobe Acrobat.

Does anyone know if the club is planning to do special shirts for the Pride rounds again this season?

This is the most terrifying thing I have ever read in my 18 years on this forum.

Strange collar, also I think we've had plenty of the koru patterns. Just a one off shirt I guess, it's good but not great.

Another picture of the charity kit


Edit: Also I guess this means we aren't getting a Pride Round shirt this season? Pride celebration is 14-30 March which means we have 1 Men's and 2 Women's home games during that time - but obviously the men's match will now be wearing this charity shirt instead.

Not a fan of the strip.  Hopefully the women do a pride round strip with a black option.

That's a shame, reserve price seems to be $250.

Also hilarious that the shirts are being sent from Auckland, like are they sending them up there straight after the game, wtf, seems like a waste of time and money

19 shirts have gone up, but seem to be missing Retre, Roa Conchie and Ishighe.  Seems weird not to have the two that actually played.  Hughes and Wootton were injured but they still have a shirt up.  What about AKH and Colakovski aren't they still part of the squad despite being ruled out for the season.

How come some fans were wearing them at the game, some personalized, some not. Def not Phoenix City ones?

I'm not sure, maybe there were families who RMH helps?

Also I forgot Walker doesn't have a shirt up either.  Shambles

Well a very exciting end to the auctions with one left for next week (Roa Conchie).  Still a mystery on Walker, Ishighe AKH and Retres shirt, maybe they'll  be put up at a later point.

Woottons one is still going as there is a bidding war between two people - is kirstyw2204 his wife? His shirt has gone for the most, not even match worn mind you for over 1k.  Incredible.

I just noticed on the weekend that Auckland have Anchor as their home sponsor and Go Media s their away sponsor but I've never seen Auckland wear their away shirt at home to satisfy their sponsor commitments. Just another thing they have managed to do better than us :(

I would imagine the Nix are trying to maximise their sponsor $, Akl might not need to worry so much

I don't think they ever wore the blue/black away even when it was more appropriate.  Away to light coloured teams Sydney/Newcastle/CCM they still wore the change all white strip when the dark blue/black was more appropriate.  Away to Macarthur white/black stripes they still wore all white.  Away to  Melbourne City they wore a all dark 3rd strip.  Away to Phoenix they wore the white shirts mixed with the dark shorts/socks.  So whilst they never wore the white strip at home, there were some times away when they wore the change strip away when a more strict interpretation of Fifa light/dark principles would have seen them in the blue/black away and needing to wear white at home to make up, if they had such a 50/50 clause in their contracts.

Dome on the pod, "all home games ... should be in the yellow and black", noticeably he said multiple times "yellow and black" as opposed to "yellow" on its own which he only said once.

Noticed that too. Positive to hear.

The current kit is yellow with black trim and badges etc so it might seem only natural for him to describe it as yellow and black. I would love it though to go back to a more traditional yellow and black stripes

We haven't had proper black and yellow stripes since the Rudan season - in saying that I did love the koru/stripe design from last season. I think we're due a return to a Reebok/Adidas era type of design

There has been an admission that this seasons kit isnt what they thought they were getting. They were under the impression the stripes were going to be bolder.
Think the club finally gets it that fans want to see the team in yellow and black at home.
Going to await the release with some anticipation especially the 3rd kit.

Re: "They were under the impression the stripes were going to be bolder", thats the second time in recent years that has happened.  The kit with the two black lines down the front, they said that they were going for a PSG vibe and what they ended up with didn't come out as intended.  You'd think there would be a physical mockup before the go button is pressed on a kit.

Yellow tops with black trim and black shorts with yellow trim. The current kit would have been massive with much bolder black.

Apparantly a rendering of the kit was shown to a few people. But come kit release night what was delivered was different from the rendering. To late at that stage to do anything about it.

I am a big believer that the away kit should have the same template as the home kit.  Just look at the Champions league final, Inters yellow kit, in years to come people will watch excerpts from that game and wonder who the team in yellow was.

As nice as they were on their own, imagine if we'd made or won a final in some of our recent change strips, and we looked back at the footage years later.
