I hope the price is closer to $109 like Paladin and not $180 like the Warriors or $147 for an All Whites top.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

Think you will find it means we will always play at home including CHCH in our yellow and black kit. Gone are the days of playing at home in an ,"away kit"
There will be two away kits.
Thats what i understood it to mean at the FRG meeting i took part in a couple of weeks ago.


Ahhh got it now. No away game clashes anymore, meaning they won’t have to make up numbers for the other sponsor by wearing the away kit at home. Got it. 

If anyone wonders what my long confusing essay of a comment from yesterday was trying to say - this message says it but way more succinct and better than me! 🤣

I get the sense it would be considered two home kits. Since midway through 19/20 we've been mainly yellow with black accents (yellow socks, shorts and top with more black than other parts but decreasing) but from midway 19/20 back to our formation our kit was mostly black (socks, shorts and top with yellow accents or stripes). So we could have two home kits that are different enough based on our history.

Not from what we got told yellow and black is our home kit the other two are away kits

Exciting to see a new Kit Provider. Paladin had some good ones, but they were really starting to get stale with the home kits. This most recent one may be the worst we've ever had. The best home kit they did was probably the spiky one.

I had a look at Dynasty's other entries, how their kits generally look (including stitching, logo placement, etc), and what vibe the announcement post was giving.

So then I made this. Something like this would be my prediction for what we're getting.

Would love this.  Would look great with black shorts and socks

I didn't mind Paladin's efforts for the most part but what I want to see this year is black shorts as standard in the home strip. Yellow shorts is just weird, for me. And I would like a non-black away strip, wearing black in the Australian summer heat is crazy.

Yeah that is my early thoughts as well. Not sure of your reasoning, but that pattern is seriously ad nauseam for me.

Yes, it got gifted to us to use and I'm all for respecting the culture, but it doesn't have to be on every kit. It's not even a good design, nor has it ever been applied well on stripes. The two different gray shades also doesn't help.

Hard disagree. I think it’s actually a really nice design 23/24 kits are easily two of the best we’ve had. 22/23 home kit stripes also worked really well imo.

I do agree it didn’t really work on last seasons kit however.

So looks like 3 stripes on the front of the shirt, with some grey cultural pattern on them which looks pretty cool from what I can see

Final prediction based on everything we know.

Looks like the dynasty logo will be on the middle stripe, logos sewn into shirt fabric, and the kit will most likely have 3 stripes.

My question will be how they're gonna do the sponsor logo. I would personally much prefer they put it on the kit in white with a border like I've done.

 $169.99 for a Warriors jersey lets hope when the price drops tomorrow its not around that level.

Well assuming they're not gonna mark the price up just cuz it's the A-League instead of NZ national league, Dynasty sells Auckland City jersey's for $120

Dynasty clearly playing it smart by going back to traditional stripes with black shorts and potentially socks (haven't seen a sneak peek of those yet) to get fans onside.

if anyone wants to see it early
I like it! I actually don't mind the way the stripes are interrupted for the Entelar sponsor
eh, I probably would've preferred a clean break in the lines to provide space for the sponsor rather than the yellow bubble wrapping.

Members have received an email showing the front of the new kit.  I won't spoil it but be aware that if you want to wear it to the Wrexham match you have to place your order before 2pm Wednesday 15th July.

Same price as an Auckland City jersey, and $50 cheaper than a Warriors jersey.

I hate the way it caters for the sponsor on the front.

Agree  - my only gripe. A more symmetrical surround to the sponsor would be more sympathetic with the stripes (other wee gripe is the big red Chemist Warehouse on one's arse).
Otherwise very nice strip. Black shorts and yellow socks works well IMHO.

Now, about them players wearing it .... ?

I know, I know, its serious!

Not wrapped about color on  Entelar logo or that friggen red Maccas badge but hey where are we without sponsors.
Its a proper stripey and that beats any downside.

Welcome to the Phoenix Dynasty!

At first glance, I thought we had gone back to Adidas and they had used the retro trefoil logo. Sadly not

In the video the shirts look like they need ironing... even in some of the photos on the website. Also wearing yellow socks with black shorts like they are in the video looks strange
