Geez guys what gives?
First you take away a posting that offers fans a opportunity to buy official licenced product  claiming for it not being in the best interests of the club, now I see you trying to push your own unofficial, unlicenced product which is beneficial to the Phoenix how?
 
Lets support the club buy buying the official gear I'm not exactly blown away by your t shirts fair enough for having a go but like I said sort out your attitude guys it all seems to be getting a bit dictatorial

Tell you what carb, you pop out and buy whatever merchandise you can find out there... what's that ?  There isn't any for another 4 months ?

Until then good on the Fever folks for getting the clubs name out there.  I'll be at the front of the queue for Phoenix gear when I can get some, until then Fever gear will do nicely.

The T-shirt looks good too. I just need to get my body in shape so I can fit the size medium in the picture

If we build it, they will come...

Fair enough and yeah 4 months is a long time it was more the preachy holier then thou bs which looking at other postings seems ongoing, that I am getting sick of.
Yellow fever is a good site well laid out but some of the egos are a bit to big for the world wide web

Carb, I'm not sure what you have been doing to promote the Phoenix, but I'd be very surprised if it is more than what we have done - so maybe you should just say thank-you and leave it there.

Obviously you're a friend of Ryos, so you should check with him on the reasoning.
 
In light of the official merchandise being tied up, we decided to get something together, and were ably supported and helped by a company that has been dedicated to football in Wellington for a long time.
 
I think the poll and the amount of emails we have been getting would suggest that most people like them too (including Ricki)

To be honest I find this site slightly unfriendly towards newcomers. Like I have found this site great and I think what you guys at Yellow Fever have done as bloody brilliant.
 
But sometimes some of the comments to people opening new threads are fairly mean and would discourage me from posting that much.
 
Great site though.

thanks for the feedback Hegg. Everyone - make an attempt to be nice to Trainees please I may have discouraged one person, who started a thread about when tickets are going on sale, the day after we sent out a newsletter and had a news item about it because people kept asking on the forum..

How "holier than thou" of you Feverish!

Nice one carb - not. Why don't we all buy official jerseys so some guy who has contributed 2 fifths of f**k-all to the Phoenix can make some money in a few months time. At least now we have something to allow us to show our colours for preseason. I am with Baiter on this one.
 
I would rather save money and support YF. If they make money then good on them, they deserve it for creating a site which would be a loss to football in NZ if it didn't exist.

The shirts look great-slightly retro with a non fag apperence.
Un like the Sydney FC ones that look like a football supporter shirt that i would be imbarassed to wear.
 
I would be happy 2 wear that shirt out and sydney and would also fancy my chances of picking up!
 
One please!

i aggree slightly but if we use the profit's to make things like flags, and development for yellow fever and all that kinda stuff for the games then i think it should be ok...
 
it all depends how honest they are!

Yes and No. YF seems to be helping the club tremendously and there is no club merchandise to be had at present. And lets face it, the profits made off the t-shirts are hardly going to make anyone rich! I'm sure that setting the site up etc. must have cost some $$ too?
 
Sounds a bit to me like the original shirt guy was only in it for money too IMHO - although I don't know all the facts
 
I do agree though that some scarves etc. would be good - it'd be great to get totally kitted out!

They should be available next Wednesday. We should have something on the front page. Looking good for $30 at this stage  - 80s prices!

I never heard of this sh*t!! Tell me all - what single? What was it called? What other stuff did they release? All I remember about '82 (I was 8) was after it the queues for registration down at Island Bay AFC were MASSIVE!!! Anyone else remember a sudden rise in club attendances?

Side one: Heading for the top - Carl Doy. Side two: Marching on to Spain - Official squad anthem featuring special guest star Ray Woolf. Does the t - shirt come with matching stubbies?

Hey, Feverish,

Off topic here....Just let you know we should add Wellington Phoenix's official website to our link, and that's the most important one.

Our official anthem should have been "We're  in the group of death, oh sh*t!"

$30 a shirt!?! BARGAIN!!!

i like the idea of matching stubbies...or maybe matching retro styled longjohns would be better (to go under 'replica shorts')...esp as the majority will be in Welly


can ya deliver NZ wide?

Yep - sure can. Use the contact form to drop us a line if you want one - then we'll add you to our pre-order list and drop you a line when they're ready. We're currently waiting to get some pricing back for International shipping as well.
 
Despite what some people think, we're not doing this for the $$ (if we were, we'd charge $140 a shirt like Reebok do) - it's all about giving the fans a low-cost alternative (especially when there is nothing official available for a while) and making sure that we cover the overheads. A very generous and helpful company has stepped in to help us put them together - they are Wellington's (and NZ's) top footballing retailer.
 
Will post more info when available.

I would be interested in the cost for shipping to London. So let me know your shipping costs as soon as you get it.
 
Cheers.

If we build it, they will come...
