Slight problem is that you can apparently only vote for 1 t-shirt design in your poll, so it won't reflect actual numbers for people buying more than 1 (like me ) Jag2008-07-11 14:54:19

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

I think the Retro Ricki is the best, but I already have an 07 version of that and so I got the 'Who Are Ya?'

I almost got the 'Wellington 'til I die' - probably would have if it said 'Phoenix 'til I die'.

I don't care much for the other one - it looks a bit like some of those typical NZ t-shirts.

Hey News, have you made the special limited edition luminous yellow versions, to be given away to opposition centre-backs by high ranking YF officials, this season?!?

there is a lot of symbolism going on in the map one which is lost on most people

I've getting the Fever Over Welly one, will it be dangerous walking around being all symbolic and not knowing why?

'Fever over Wellington' symbolises that the great city of Wellington is the home of Yellow Fever and the mighty Phoenix. The 'O' sits firmly over the city, but the concentric circles expand out over the whole country, symbolising that the Phoenix is here for all NZers. We are one team representing the whole country. It takes seven of them to take us on. Some might say that the circles are a play on Wellingtons earthquake vulnerability, others that it is the intense noise waves resonating from the Fever faithful at the Ring of Fire. Some might say it's a load of crap. I think I'll have another Stella..

Welly till I die is very ugly, i couldnt even tell it was a phoenix until I saw it in Champs. Why did you guys choose that design of a phoeonix? I saw may better that the folks put on the website....
 
I like the epicentre over Welly....but I think the font that was used is alittle angular, I preferred the W when it was curved, it looked more retro, now it has lost a bit of that feel....

Botafogo - Rio de Janeiro and Wellington Phoenix, my two teams til death do us part.

Drove down from Palmy today, got a who are ya and a wellington til I die (have RR from last year).  You bastards had brought all the fever over wellington ones from Ryos before I got there!
 
The guy who served me said he couldn't believe how much YF stuff had been sold since Wed.  He also gave me a fever discount despite me not having a fever card yet - Great stuff!!!

Having recently decamped to Christchurch from Wellington (I know, why would you??) I will be buying a ``Wellington Till I Die'' when I hit town for the opening game of the season, then seeing how long I survive wearing it once I set foot back in the South.

I will be picking up a Retro Ricky (still so very gutted about procrastinating mail ordering an 07 version until they were all gone) and I'll pick up a Fever over Welli even though I am not from your fine city.
(btw, I was at the Adelaide game on the friday before the Galaxy game. Do you guys sing you can stick your Skytower up your arse every week? Or was that a treat for us Aucklanders visiting for the weekend? for the record I don't like it either)joachim2008-07-15 21:53:32
