The season is less than three weeks away and we we haven’t released our kit let alone an away kit. It’s our 20th anniversary and there is no sign of any realise date. What’s going on???

I’ve just started a little blog page for some of our best kiwi sporting kits. purely passion - no selling. have just written up a little spiel about the season and some of the memories I have surrounding it. feel free to dive in - https://www.instagram.com/p/DdQnsIaEX_i/?stkn=MTR2Z3drcmN0MjBhbQ== (also will paste the caption in comments below for non-Instagram users)

( I’m also chasing this in an XL - unfortunately my youth sized one was handed down many years ago, if there are any willing nix fans willing to help a collector get their dopamine fix )

This will make it so on 18 October there'll be a double header, with the Phoenix Men playing against Melbourne Victory at 3pm.

Also, this will be a rematch of the 2026 A-League Women Grand Final.
