MET A COUPLE OF FEVERITES ON THE TRAIN BACK TO PORIRUA YIP EVEN GOT SUPPORTERS IN THIS RUGBY AND LEAUGE STRONGHOLD, THEY HAD SHIRTS THAT READ "NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS HERES THE PHOENIX!" CLASSY, APPARENTLY ONLY 20 OF THEM PRINTED. WOULD BE GOOD TO SEE SOME MORE CREATIVE TYPES TAKING THE LEAD AND PRODUCING OTHER ORIGINALS. AND WHAT OF THE FEVER SHIRTS FOR NEXT SEASON A BRIGHTER YELLOW WOULD BE A GOOD START I FEEL. ALSO IS IT TIME TO START PRESSING ONCE AGAIN FOR A PLAYING STRIP OF YELLOW AND BLACK STRIPES FOR NEXT SEASON OR AT LEAST YELLOW ARMS GUNNERS LIKE.

weve only beaten GOLRY HOLES AND THE BLING BLING ALL SEASON

Yeah there were a few comments on how awesome it was. I wouldn't mind one myself, my retro ricki is fading a bit, might end up being a top to wear at All Whites matches soon!

madhouse, walking around the forums with a megaphone...

I think the fade adds capital to the Retro Riki. You can spot a true feverite by how faded his Riki is.

Totally, the people from work I was having a drink with before the game asked why my retro ricki wasn't as vibrant as some other guy walking past, it denotes how long we've been fans, and c'mon, its a RETRO RICKI, the fading makes it better.

The Sex Pistols would really love those Tee Shirts. They look really cool, so do the ones belonging to the Petone group of fans.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

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

I'll happily take the other one off your hands if you don't want it Feverish - I've been waiting for a more yellow YF shirt to appear - I thought it looked good myself!

I'll get to work on building up an Adelaide section next year...
I'm really hoping a group makes the trip over for Nix games at Hindmarsh in the future, come keep me company in the away end and we'll outchant and sing the fifty thousand different Adelaide groups.

So it's a no to Brisbane then?

I can imagine the convo now:

"Sorry dad, I can't move to Brisbane with you, because their football team is a bunch of cheating divers"

Im surprised this hasnt been raised more, but black is an absolutely crap colour to play a team sport in.
 
When you have a fraction of a second to find your team mates, a bright colour makes a world of difference. Also, looking on the wider panorama, you can very easily pick out the whereabouts of all your team mates. Black doesnt facilitate that to the same degree. 
 
Phoenix should play in yellow shirts at least .

BLASPHEMER!!!!! 
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Yellow would blend in too much with the colour of the seats at the stadium. That would be harder to pick players out surely.

Retro Rickis? Although all players as number 07 would be confusing

Would make the commentary easier: "Phoenix playing in number 07 today runs the ball up the right wing crossing to Phoenix in the penalty box and ..."

Only problem is that the team would loose a man every two yellow cards...

Are they going to be "08" next season?

No plans as yet for 08... we'll worry about that once we finish this season (and perhaps once we've got winter seasons underway).

The right wing is Elrich so i doubt there would be a cross going in.

I quite like the current shirt. It's already become synonymous with the Phoenix, and recognisable. There's always a pic or two of a Phoenix player in the DomPost each week too, so the public recognise it too. Why not keep it for another year at least to help consolidate the whole Phoenix package in people's minds (those we are trying to convert to football/Phoenix).  Or am I talking sh*t...?

They are keeping the current strip. 

Tony P said they are obliged to (Check the FAQ above) or one of the other threads covering this subject... oh for a merge function...
