Is there any logical reason why our 'away' shirts are white and not Yellow (Fever) ????? (or home for that matter & black away).


Or am I being too logical... I guess after sux years here I shoulda learn't lol





Surge!

everyones is white

Yeah, I know that feverish... but WHY???


Was there a special on white shirts at the chinese factory that week?

sheesh spoil the argument why don't ya fev.. mijk2007-10-02 19:22:13

probably to do with sponsorship or league rules, similar to all clubs official sites having the same format

Something with a little logic.....None of the home kits are white so if the home kits clash the away team's change kit won't clash as well

mayb the phoenix should spice it up a bit and go yellow just so we're not 'sheep' like the Aussies! lol

White is more associated with NZ Football than black anyway (the AW's play in blue away kit after all), so even if white away kits weren't the standard, it makes sense as the Phoenix will always be considered New Zealand's team by those over the ditch up until the A-League puts a second team in the country (should that ever occur).

I'm still hoping our home kits turn yellow next season. With black stripes, a la the logo. Fingers crossed.

CCM already has a yellow shirt, so something to do wit that I think. Just be thankful we dont have Chelsea's away kit, looks like the cops are everywhere in the crowd

Amen to that.

Of course there's nothing stopping Yellow Fever from producing a mock team shirt with black and yellow stripes. Hint, hint...

Just like Borutsia Dortmund, we will look like Germans then with the yellow and black. Mind you i do like the black and yellow shirts!!

Or the Columbus Crew, who have an All White (Duncan Oughton) on their roster?

That being said, bonus points to anyone who werars a Borussia Dortmund top to Oktoberfest!

welcome to a league with Reebok as suppliers...they have a very limited number of colours and see white as the best option...bring on CCC as kit suppliers for WPFC!

They better have learnt a lot more from Pompey than they did when they outfitted the Kingz.

I know the whole thing with every team having a white away strip - I have kind of picked up on that over three years lol


But isn't it time for a change? Is there any other league in the world where there is but one supplier and every team is restricted to having the same colour away jersey?

I just think it's time the league evolved a bit... it made sense 3 years ago - but then again so did the Queenz.


Times have moved on... as we have proven

will there be a new home and away top every season or every 2 seasons etc? does anyone know?

I think thats a fantastic idea to make our own stripped shirts TO GIVE THE CLUB A HINT HINT and at the very least the arms of the teams shirts both home and away should be yellow a bit arsenal like i know but better than all that black and white.

Doesn't Melbourne have silver (not white) as its away colour and Blue as its home colour

I don't see a problem with our home strip being largely yellow (or striped)- the CCM are yellow sure, but look at the premiership and how many red shirts there are over there.

Yellow and black vertical stripes - what would Trinny and Susannah say about that? 

Yes, Melbourne likes to be different. They also have a different style with their V.

Yeah I thought so

I read somewhere that Reebok altered their standard strip just for them to fit in the V to represent their Victory name and Victorian state.

Am I the only one who likes the current home kit?

I don't mind it, it's better than I thought it'd be. I would prefer yellow/black stripes (or halves, like Blackburn and Feyenoord), but that won't happen until Reebok ceases to be the official kit supplier to the A-league.

The reason we don't have yellow shirts as either home or away kits is because of the Central Coast Mariners. We couldn't get the yellow as home shirts because the A-league does not want two yellow teams in an 8-team competition, and we can't have it as an away shirt since then it would clash with Central Coast when we play them in Gosford. The Phoenix have incorporated as much yellow as they could on the shirts, but the decision ultimately rested with the A-league.

How many teams in the Premiership? And how many competitions are they in?


We are talking about 8 teams... it shouldn't be difficult.


But maybe it is?





Surge!

Nope. I like it. I'm not a big fan of stripes.

It's not really a good comaprison. The clubs in Europe are very much independent entities that play in various competitions they're eligible for. The A-league has a lot more hands-on approach over here and all the clubs have to conform to a certain set of standards set by the league (such as having the kits provided by the official supplier, according to the suppliers' designs). Clubs may get a bit more independence once the competition is firmly entrenched here, but for now we have to accept the strips as they are and be proud of them, since they're the ones that our club plays in.

I could easily counter that but I'll go with the sheep. lol.








Surge!

There's nothing to counter. That's just how it is, it's not up to the club, but it's the A-league decision.

I don't recall ever saying, or implying it was up to the club. Or has ever been.

Unless perhaps your Melbourne.

Well, apparently if you win the Grand Final 6-0 you get a bit more leeway...maybe that's what we need to do to yellow our kit a bit more...

The whole white 2nd strip is a very American thing. All the pro sports teams NFL, NHL, NBA & MLB (not sure about MLS) have a white strip as well as their normal strip. Big difference is that over there they wear the white strip for home games (weird - means all Americans support a team playing in white!).

Spot on Malky about the American thing, I'd just like to point out that in the NFL most of the time it works the other way around - colours at home, white away - with the main exception being Cowboys and Dolphins who sometimes play their home games in white.

A bit more yellow would be good - and would help differentiate us from the Queenz, which isn't a bad thing...

But if the FFA won't play the game then we just wear it... (no pun intended) with Pride!


Until, in time, it (hopefully) changes.





Surge!

5 years... sorry folks, definitely 5 years.

Buggar and here i was hoping maybe we might get stripes in the near future.

The reason the American teams wear white at home is because they believe it makes their players look bigger especially in NFL
