Indeed. Very poor headline imo (re Hull). Even the stripes have gone this year (well, pin stripes remain).

I thought the better analogy would have been Welly Coll (at least in the past not sure what they wear these days).





But i think they just got a new kit

The more I see the new strips, the more i like them.

I think with a sponsor they will look another 20percent better, especially on the alternate kit.

The alternate kit kinda reminds me of Boca Juniors or something...Im sure it will all grow on us and we will all realize we couldn't care less what they were wearing as long as they're playing exciting and winning football!

Except maybe that NRL team wearing fluro pink...too far IMO!!!

Not sure why.
 
New shirts will land in Wellington sometime later this week. Our new store is getting refurbished and should be open in a few weeks. Membership packs are being mailed out later this week and will include a $25 shop voucher. So support the club and buy the new strip from us by using your voucher. 


Tony P
I asked on another thread whether I've understood correctly that with the voucher in the new Entertainment Book for $50 off one item at the Phoenix store if you buy another that costs more, that this means when I buy my new shirt I can get $50 off my son's one. Am I right about this please?

Presumably can't be used in conjunction with the $25 voucher though ......  I'd just have to buy something else as well!
 
 

Cannot be used with the membership voucher as it is not a discount voucher but you get a complimentary piece/pieces of merchandise to the value of $50 if you spend $50 or more. For example if you buy a shirt you get a piece/pieces of merchandise we have set aside valued at $50



Thanks for clarifying Tony P.  I had suspected that it was too good to be true - stupid me for buying the Book before checking first (wasn't going to get one this year until I saw this). I presume the key word on the voucher is "complimentary" to describe the merchandise item that you get (ie you can't choose it)??  I'm not surprised (and a bit relieved as well as I was also concerned that the club could end up losing lots of money on this as it coincided with a new strip launch). However I don't think the wording is very clear on the voucher, and I think there will be a lot of people who will have made the same mistake as me, and many may not take it well I fear!

Hopefully the complimentary merchandise will be worth having (and not be just one thing) so we don't end up with lots of gnomes (or whatever) for all the shirts (they look great by the way) we'll be buying in my family!!

Kits are nice!!!
The black box is horrible though..they should have just copied NUFC and had  the top half all black instead of black box in the middle...the players names will still be hard to read now.

They're not bad actually.  Check TVNZ news tonight, might have sample shot of a named shirt.

Absolutely love the home kit. Exceeded expectations, I can't think of it being done better. Easily the best kit in the league.  I do hope we use name plates though rather than putting on individual letters- as in, the un-numbered kit will have one black box, but the numbered ones will have two.

The away kit exceeded my expectations too, but I expected it to be crap. It's slowly growing on me, but I wouldn't have chosen it myself.

Oh, and

Don't like either, but if they win games and score goals I couldn't give a flying f**k if they played in the nude.
On that subject nude would be ok as I already own the strip

I like the home strip, I find the alternative a bit ugly but would have prefer it to have the yellow stripe diagonal rather than horizontal as well as a bit thinner.

Its growing on me already, I'm starting to love it. Hopefully we get a good looking sponsor and the back doesn't look to bad without numbers... Or i may have to drop mine into champs.

Away is alright, pretty simple but it won't be worn too much anyway.

This is getting me pumped for the new season!

Can't say I want the one I buy to look like that, it would be nice if the club had numbered ones.

Colls new strip is mainly black with some white lines.chocnut2009-07-07 18:41:55

would be good to have one without sponsor and one with so you can have best of both worlds.



Ok Hannah Montana
If it's an ugly sponsor then buying the one without it would be a smart move.


I'm just suprised they selling them at all if they're still not "finished."

Away would be fine if we still had Sony as a sponsor. Just looks strange without though - i'd prefer a vertical or diagonal thinner stripe. But eh, only going to be wearing it a handful of times.

What are "vertical or diagonal thinner stripe" going to do to the design to make it any better?!?!?!

Makes it look better because it doesn't just look like a box waiting for a sponsor. The current away kit is very Boca-like but it has a huge black outline which I don't like and it's not on the back. Without a sponsor it just looks silly. A sash/verticle stripe would look better

like this



But with black and yellow

Or

You spend two years fighting Reebok for independence but when you use some you should have copied someone else...

Well if not that then what would you have for the alternate kit? Obviously it was going to be white but it couldn't be all white because of comparisions to the national team etc. Maybe thin pin stripes or something? No idea

Maybe this classic?

Excellent kits, Even the wife likes them which should give me the green light to buy them both.
 
Now are we able to get the authentic font for numbers and names on the back??
 
Top effort by the club to get (Well pretty much what most of us asked for) a jersey design correct.
 
The away kit reminds me of the old Bradford away kit some years back. I like it.

I love the kits we have

The white looks distinctive and if you look closely there is a demarcation on the rear, yes it needs a sponsor but surely you need to convince yourself you will have one otherwise what is the point of playing this game ?

I love the stripes, I love the white end of.

I'm proud to support the team wearing those colours.  I'll be more proud once we make some genuinely aspirational striker signings.  There is a chance to send a message here and I'm hoping that - like the strips - they take the chance to make the statement that they want to be the best in the league.

...but I have digressed.

Considering the Fifa rules what else would you suggest?
 
I will say I think that for the sale version they should taken the box out....
 
Although if they did people would complain the strip isn't "authentic".

maybe a hole would do. So that instead of printing one number which you keep for ever you could change it. Just scribble what you want on your back

I do really like the home kit, except for the black box but obviously it's because of FIFA regulations etc. It's done bloody well for a Reebok strip.
