All yellow is a good idea but the execution is shit. Reeeeaaal bad.
The shorts are a different shade and the green strip is pointless. Why would you make it so thick? It doesn't fit the look and template of the shirt (which is really really bad and boring).
Navy away kits go get ****ed too. So lame and boring. Never understood why people loved them and all black kits so much.

You've never seen a yellow kit before?

Looks better when you can actually see their knees.
Still much prefer the old colour scheme though.

The more I see it the more I am liking the away kit and I have to say the pattern looks really nice on it. But the yellow shorts kill the home kit, should have stuck with green shorts and either yellow or white socks.
Maybe when I see it in person on Tuesday night I may change my mind but it is looking doubtful.
Though the only positive it that hopefully we can only look better with our 2018 World Cup kit.

The yellow/yellow combo might be able to work with better socks. The green socks just look totally out of place.

EPL and Barclays signed a three-year deal. No financial or any further details of the deal were disclosed yet. Barclays joins EA Sports, the official sports technology partner, and Nike, the official ball supplier.

That shade of green on the socks should form the future colour guide for all Socceroos greens. I love how it complements the yellow, makes it look a little canary, which I know isn't aligned with the 'gold' vibe and connotations they're after, but it's perfect. It reminds me of the way the green and gold look at the Olympics – which, as naff and irrelevant a festival of cheats as it is, is still a big symbol of Australian sport.
The whole strip looks better on Mile – thinner (?!), more fitted. This'll look shocking for the players with baggier shorts or stumpier legs.
The shirt is still mindnumbingly banal though. I think I've seen Nike's teamwear for local sides that looks more adventurous and unique. On one hand it's good that this won't be worn in a World Cup or Asian Cup title, but do you really want this symbolising a game against England? Especially if the 'roos win...
The away looks great as a women's kit but the mens just ends up looking like the male version, not the other way around. That may come across as sexist but I think it's obvious to all and sundry that the strip is designed for the Socceroos and not the Matildas. The pattern stands out too much and the yellow socks make about as much sense as bright red ones – there's no other licks of yellow there. Hopefully the numbers will be or else we're in strife. Regardless – the navy has to die out. It's only been a trend since Germany '06. It's not actually a default or meaningful Aussie shirt. It looks so shit too and it's not really suitable for steamy, hot qualifiers in the Asian heat...
Also if you want to wonder why the Socceroos have absolutely no profile, look at this video. Wowee. These guys are dumb as ****. Who doesn't know Anthony LaPaglia – especially when he owned the biggest club in the country at one stage?! Zero personality. Even less humour. I've always thought the Socceroos have lacked characters, funny or interesting or different people – at least since about 06 – but this confirms it.

The new kit is too yellow, lacking in green trim.

Single-colour kit seems to be Nike's thing this year.
The tighter look that England and Portugal have is thankfully avoided by Australia. Those two kits have the Vapor style which makes it almost like wearing skins compression tops :/
Think Nike or FIFA has said Australia can't wear colours similar to Brazil as it 'clashes' but can't remember where it said that.

I hope that's not the case, then Sweden and Ukraine will have to ditch their yellow shirt and blue ensemble also, unless this is just a Nike thing?

Gold shorts would've been okay with gold socks but gold/gold/green and (v Chile WC) gold/gold/white is just weird

Needs more Caltex.
The one positive is that the away kit has gold socks, so if enough people push for it we could have a full gold kit which looks a damn lot better than the green socks.
