Phoenix kit revealed

Yeah, the retailers still want to get rid of their last stocks of last season's gear on sale before they start selling the new stuff.

One of those great ironies that Reebok can condense the strips into choices from "templates", mass produce them at even lower cost than usual, and you know they're still going to cost one-fitty...

I vote Canterbury of New Zealand as the new sponsor when the Reebok deal runs out. Who cares if they're not even a Kiwi brand these days. And while we're at it, I'll take the old ABs Steinlager logo back... or maybe we should swap it for a Monteiths. Speaking of which - where's my beer?

The problem's probably the yellow... Need some glow-in-the-dark blind-the-opposition stuff imported from Brazil. And then we just use black as the away strip. Perfect!

Strip's OK, Greenes / Bucks / Brownie when will YF have them for sale on the website??...man, gotta get some street advertising up with all us jokers swanning around in them before the first home game...ps, hope they come in XXXXL for the Jester...

"Did you mean concerted? Freud would surely approve of that faux-par."Either way, the sentence works fine.

To be honest, I'm underwhelmed. To me its just a rehash of things that have come before. No imagination involved.  

i will definatly be buyin it, even though i live in chch

Somehow doubt it will be Zeros as they only exist in Auckland (and the US), and the whole Lee and Dawkins family ownership...

There have been press rumours that they are close to having a sponsor.  Just hope they do the logo properly, not some iron on patch.

Incidentally... Zeros > Subway

Rebel will get them first so keep checking here:

I'd give it a month at least though.

They'll need to do all the kit, balls, scarves, etc.

Maybe you'll get a bright yellow scarf to cover up the black a bit and a yellow beanie (yeccch!).

Might not be Rebel. I think there will be a sole NZ outlet (as well as the official web sales) which will sell at the stadium as well. They are very stringent about who retails them, and they have some chunky rules that they have to abide by.

Hmmm, I wonder...

Tampons would suck.

haha nice,i like the black although i was expecting tery to pull the old blue and white ahaha. we can all wear black hoddies and look more intimadating

 black hoodies - with a yellow phoenix motif; there's a thought .....

The AA would work - Yellow and black on Black and Yellow.

Yeah, ok. "Concerted" effort. But the point still stands. If you guys want your strip to be different then you have to keep complaining and proving to Reebok (and the club) that there are enough people sufficiently excited about the Phoenix for them to have a new design!

I'm sorry, but THAT'S black with yellow ?

Haha and do you think Zeros will be quite keen to come back to sponsor the NZ side?

That is the Hurricanes, a regional team that represent the South of the North Island.  Not just Wellington:



...is the Wellington Specific jersey.

The Hurricanes started off as the Wellington Hurricanes.

No stripes!?  Poor.

I agree with a previous poster in saying more yellow would have been ideal as being prodiminatly black it could remind us of the Knights strip haha.

In our last season in the Premier League and before we were butchered to give the MK Abortion a spot in the league Wimbledon were sponsored by TINY. There's nothing like running around with that advertised on them to make a group of players lose the plot and get relegated.

Righty ho, where is the yellow in the strip, it's hardly noticeable. I thought it would be more like the cricket kit.  Still I don't give a hoot, I'm just glad there's still a professional club here.

Bad sponser?  Men's Health Clinic - like Radio Sport

Im not sure i favour the away strip that much. I mean the yellow was a great way to capture Wellington and they passed on that and went with white. It looks oh k i guess but not really reflective of the city.

what if we made patches and sewed them ontp our hoddies, are you allowed into the stadium with patches i heard your not, also i agree with the spitting on coll terrible place that

Hurricanes don't = Wellington. Common misconception.

Nice kit. Shame you guys didn't get the stripes. It would be a nice change from all the plain kits. If I wasn't a Victory fan I'd be coming down with a case of Yellow fever as I've always had a thing for Phoenixes and (as a Richmond Tigers fan) Yellow and Black. You guys will be my sentimental favourites though.

thanks stephen

"Sentimental Favourites" eh... does that mean we get the crappy sweater you knitted us for Christmas while Victory gets the BMX... cos if that's the way you wanna play, then I'm not singing any carols for anyone at the dinner tonight.

Look, all I was saying is that I wish you guys all the best and that if you guys were around when the league was first formed I'd be a Phoenix fan. Don't take my sentiments as a sign of pity. To be honest I was pulling for Townsville and was disappointed they didn't get the nod until I started hearing that Wellington have a big football community and have embraced the news of a new team. Terry Serepisos has aspirations of not only putting together a profitable and winning team but he's hoping to bring a championship to Wellington within five years. That's the reason Wellingotn will be my sentimental favourites but that said I look forward to growing to hate you guys when you start to become a serious threat whenever that may be.
