Would jizz if they became the new kits.

I am more interested in the away kits as other than Newcastle the only changes are the new manufacturers putting their own template on the strips.

Glory are going to have another bland white kit for our away. Hopefully some of the other clubs go out of the box.

Victory are rumoured to have this:

I don't know why, but I think that's bloody awesome.

 

[jefffff34]

That is definite ^....don't know about the new sponsor though.

With the yellow, think more fluro though.

 

[Normy132]

Definitely getting the Victory's home kit. Looks awesome. So does the rumoured away kit.

 

[Tigerdrive]

Victory kits look good, like the idea of a fluro away.

Bad luck for CCM signing up with hummel who love putting those shitty arrows all over their merchandise.

thankgod reebok is gone, the kits might actually look professional now.

thankgod reebok is gone, the kits might actually look professional now.

And might last more than one season!

Would still love a club to go with Hoops rather then the stripes.

 

[Macca_]

Same, I'd like to see a team with hoops and a team that has a sash on their home kit.

i like all the rumoured adidas kits. But the Adelaide United one doesn't really look nice because of the collar but i don't mind umbro

Adelaide have announced a kit deal:

http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/a-league/news/1052080/Adelaide-United-s-kit-makeover

Adelaide United is the first A-League club to announce its kit deal for 2011-2012, with Erreà Sport exclusively supplying all on-field and off-field apparel.

 

[meh]

Staggering how shit the old deal for clubs was, they only received 5% of the sale of a shirt. United will get 50% of a sale, and are putting it towards junior levels in SA.

 

[Demon 86]

5%? Are you serious? Yet they charge a small fortune for one?

I guess it was another rubbish deal that the A-League had to accept to get everything started, alla the fairly poor 7 year TV deal.

Well that's what United got, so assuming everyone had the same Reebok deal (which I'm fairly certain they did) every club was in the same boat.

How stupid is that, and then the FFA wonder why clubs struggle to stay afloat.

 

[meh]

Gold Coast have signed up with Fi-Ta, a local Australian company.

No idea on the financial benefits to the club.

 

[Demon 86]

Hmmm I'm worried we're gonna see some shithouse kits next year with some of the smaller clubs...

 

[that_dood]

How could any of them do worse than Reebok? And all clubs should make substantially more revenue from each shirt sale so I can't see any losers.

Where on earth did the rest of the money go? That was a terrible deal

Says on their website that fi-ta are the official supplier to both the Yass Minor Rugby League and Goulburn Stockmen Junior Rugby League teams.

Good to see GCU in appropriate company there.

Financially they'll be fantastic no doubt, but I fear that a company whose number one deal is supplying a minor league rugby team might not be at the cutting edge of design! I hear u bout reebok being shit but I still worry bout GCUs shirts...
