Yeah, I love the Ernie/Muppet connection but we'll probably have to avoid it for legal reasons.


Yeah seem to recall "White Noise" having an issue with another Muppet once before.

How about a t-shirt that has something like "Wellington Phoenix" crossed out, and then "New Zealand Phoenix on tour" underneath it?

Why not just a "Frankie says relax" t-shirt?  I'd buy one.

No idea why I started thinking about this last night, but I couldn't sleep and it popped into my head.

First of all, how about a diagram showing some of the great/iconic Phoenix goals - Ifill vs Jets, Elrich, Smeltz vs Melbourne.  They would be simple to do (something like this, but would only need to use X's in place of players - I am sure someone could find a better example):


We could also have the written commentary from Piney and Chotey underneath it, or perhaps Fred if he was doing the football commentary:

[monotone] ... and Smeltz has scored a goal from 30 yards [/monotone].

 

another option would require some more artistic skills, but we could get drawings of our players like a Roy of the Rovers comic strip:

We could make the cartoons relevant to our players - Roy of the Rovers becomes Paul of the Phoenix, Mighty Mouse becomes Mighty Moss, Hot Shot Hamish becomes Hot Shot Hernandez, etc.

Really rate this idea - could be willing to give it a go - think the players would be cooler than X's.

don't use the picture above as the kicking off point - people will be wondering why the goal we were defending was on the half way line.

Nice idea! What goals would top the list of all time best Phoenix goals?

I remember some sweet 1 touch pinball resulting in a goal vs the Jets. No idea who scored but we won by lots. 

Also the TB goal vs Bling would be classic. Just a straight line from half way :)


There is also this one I've seen floating around...
