Because New Zealand had a team in the old NSL (Football Kingz FC I think) they were given a team in the new A-League (New Zealand Knights). That team went to shit so they brought in Wellington. The previous teams were based in Auckland I'm pretty sure

Very hard when FIFA doesn't allow any clubs outside of the competition's country.... unless the club is in a competition that is of a smaller size or the club's country doesn't have First Tier League. i.e. Phoenix NZ -league is lower than our state leagues. Toronto Canada - league isn't truly national. Cardiff etc. Wales - national league is two steps from First Division England. Various others out there.

Look how close Canada is to the USA. Same with Australia and NZ. Putting a team in Asia is difficult. The NBL tried to replicate what you're trying to say but it ended up in a failure. The defunct Singapore Slingers had to travel on a 14 hour round-trip flight to Australia. Surely they don't want to make the same mistake again do they?
Take it outside please.

No, because I'll be at the Adelaide games.

You could be a BIT more experimental with this, couldn't you? Looks great and all, but.. you could do more.Perth Glory

Similar to the current kit but I removed the pinstripes.

Why? He's basically just creating the A-League kits he believes should be used, and they've all been perfect and realistic.

Would like to see the football sun from the side of the white jersey
Prefer Perth with purple and white stripes TBH.

Portfolios can be used to experiment a bit as well
Alright, fair enough. They're all looking good, though.

Wellington Phoenix
Home
Added stripes to the back. Looked odd without them.
Away
Throwback to the old Reebok away kit they had. Much more stylish and clean than that current bra top that they have now. Not sure why they didn't adopt it full time.

Not bad.
I always thought AU should go something like Man Utd, like white shorts with a red shirt and black socks, then black shorts, red socks and white top for the away.

That'd be a great look for them. Very similar to the Wanderers though, that'd be the only hesitation. Better yet, drop the black and use the navy, one of their colours

Newcastle Jets
Home
Inspired by the 2013/14 season home kit.
Away
The kit is based on Newcastle’s official colours which were also worn by Newcastle KB United as the first Newcastle team to compete in the National Soccer League back in 1978. Also worn in the 2013/14 season.
Third
To be used against Canberra United. All of the Jets main colours included.

Not a complaint or anything, but would have liked to see Newcastle embrace the gold again. Especially now with Tinkler out of the picture. Nice set though, looking forward to seeing what you do with WSW (as a fan of them I'm partial to anything about them). Enjoying this portfolio.

Sydney FC
I did this set before the kit unveiling. Just didn't have time to post it. Anyway were back on the road to expansion.
Home
I wanted something simplistic and it looks out I picked out their current kit. It is based on their Puma Pitch teamwear kit.
Away
A white kit seems more suitable and screams out Sydney FC rather than a black one. Also is light which prevents a clash unlike the current one.

A mix of timid efforts during expansion and complacent hope that the Mariners would move there when their presence in Gosford inevitably goes under.
Also great efforts Klim! Looking forward to the WSW & Wellington away kits. Their white ones they currently have are woeful.
