zinidane - give it up, the stripes are coming with or without you! as HN has said, over 90% of posters on this topic have said yes to stripes. Translate that into a representation of Phoenix fans and I think you'll find the sales will take care of themselves.
 
 
OK...OK...I submit.
I might buy some striped Phoenix undies....and I might occasionally wear them on my head on match day...........but that is as far as I'm going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those kits are ... interesting.
Not really a final mock up so just the ideas and rumours from around forums have been thrown together.
Don't mind how the nix look too much. Others look horrible

Nix looks cool, don't mind the Fury one, the Roar -is bad, but not as bad as the current one.

i dont mind the thinking behind the roar but the blue shorts and colour scheme doesn't really look too hot.

I can't decide what I think of Perth. It's still purple but those stripes won't be as slimming as our nix kit.

You guys don't know your football kits. The Roar one looks spectacular, only the shorts would need to be a darker shade of blue.
Both Sydney's and Melbourne's look nice. Perth and Adelaide look horrendous, and ours is meh.

If ours looked something like this I'd be quite satisfied.

That Adelaide mock-up is hilarious, apart from that none are too bad for Photoshop jobs apart from maybe Perth.

The QLD one is fantastic btw, just needs the right colour shorts.

Phoenix one looks good there, definitely one to buy.
 
GUTTED at the North QLD Fury strip - it's effectively a Hibs top!!! And I can now never buy one due to my Phoenix affiliations

Yeah I'd be reasonably happy if the shirt looked like that photoshop.

I can't wait to see (and buy) the final shirt.

This is a nice looking shirt. Would love to see the final shirt like this, with the black sleeves and the white.

Still think most people will just by retro ricky shirts anyway tho.

Stripes are going to be great, and as they will look so different from the current shirt (and distinctive from other Wellington sports shirts as HN rightly said) we shall all have to buy new ones, which can only help the club with income.  Reckon they'll sell like hot cakes!   Of course new Fever shirts will also need to be purchased - what else to wear on Fever Fridays!

That GCU thing is minging, absolutely minging.

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

Re the Fever shirt, does anyone know if there are plans for a design option that incorporates stripes?  It would be great if this were possible.  Is anybody gifted able to do up a mock Fever shirt on the forum?

That looks like complete sh*t.

As for the football-shirts one, Mariners looks like crap. Adelaide is hideous design with awful blue, gcu looks like my arse, victory's looks like a differant hole (but it looks good I have to say) We all hate the jets', Fury is nice, Perth have gone backwards more than anyone else, Roar's blue will have them sobing, Sydney's is passable, but why the reed tips? Ours looks like it will suit Daniel nicely.

Most have definatly tried to over do it, what's wrong with just one color and a trim?

Oh, and nice to see a quality brand being advertised on YF now. Michael2009-02-24 20:52:14

noticed that the shops are desperately rying to unload current nix gear..think some of them were so late in originally stocking the stuff that they may now be in danger of being stuck with it even at thr greatly knocked down prices...my heart bleeds...not

Not quite Paul. 

Some supply problems have left the distributors with stock that was meant to be in the shops ages ago.  RYOS have picked that stuff up cheap so they can sell it on and get the Phoenix brand out there and us good deals on items. 

The main places doing discounts are the club shop and RYOS who were selling Phoenix gear the day it was released.

Who gets to design the unifom?
Is it some bod at Reebok? Or does the club get to design the kit now?Quintinh2009-03-12 09:34:57

I doubt a club like us would get to design our own uniform, Reebok would just pick their nearest template or some such.
