Here they are!

Central Coast Mariners:

Newcastle Jets:

Sydney FC:

Gold Coast FC:

North Queensland Fury:

Wellington Phoenix:

Melbourne Victory:

Adelaide United:

Perth Glory:

Brisbane Roar:

 

[UnitedsNo9]

I do think ours is the best...
Perth and adelaides i like... followed by wellington.
Bling and brisbane kits i think are rubbish and way too generic and boring for my taste.

I like the idea of a bit of tradition being started such as stripes or even the V of the tards.

Adelaide all red is super, i wouldnt mind an all yellow kit for the away mariners either

 

[RADINHO]

Our kit is shit! I think our kiT is almost as bad as the jets kit.

Perth and North Queensland are very nice.

Brisbane, Wellington and Melbourne

 

[Jesus]

Us, nix, perth my favs.
GC's i think is awful. Boring.

Sydneys is boring and not classy enough for a traditional sky blue kit for me

 

[marinermick]

NQ is hands down the worst kit there.

And what were they thinking going for fluoro green??

 

[midfielder]

Ours is the best followed by AU... worst a toss of the coin IMO between Roar & Fury

+1, pass the sick bag, and the roar come second. I Like ours, same reason stated by UnitedsNo9. Sydney - nothing really new, Adelaide is good ... very recognizable and brandable (is there such a word?). I'll probably get dumped on, but I do like the Scum's kit, always have.

NQ's is horrible but unfortunately our's ain't far behind.Wellingtons is so much classier than ours.The difference being narrower stripes and having stripes on the sleeves.Wilko looks like he's wearing an unbuttoned fluro vest.

Oh well another couple of years for the tatty old V1 shirt or perhaps pick up a V2 on special.

:-\

 

[Ted]

IMO Adelaide have the better kits.

 

[Atomic]

Nix home kit is my favourite by far. I like the Perth one too. The thing i dig about AU and MV is that they have some tradition in their strips, and the league is only 4 years old. I'm hoping our home strip will become instantly recognizable in the future amongst all sports fans becasue of tradition... but only time will tell on that one. I would rather have yellow shorts for our away strip.

Bling & GCU are just boring, Scum's strip is shite, Roar's is worse and somebody must have had some bad acid to come up with the Fury's

 

[Morgan30]

Was a tough choice between Adelaide and the Nix, went for Adelaide but am a fan of both very much.

Fury...what were you thinking

 

[thomas477]

Jets away looks good, but home is still not good.

Nix home looks best though

Not sure which is which, but one of the Phoenix strips is bloody identical to ours! You like THAT one right, he he?

Maybe if there's ever a gear mix up we could have the "Battle of the TV Test Patterns" AND find out which players are colour blind (our royal blue is very close to their black). ;D

And I reckon it would be good money spent to bribe the gear steward for Sydney FC into mismatching the shorts and shirts into one pale sickly looking all pale blue kit one day, lol.

Agree that the NQ strips are fugly. Looks like fancy roadworks fluros...

They just need the Stop/Go sign and they're complete.

 

[bulldogmariner]

Nix is the best home and away outfit.
I like Jets away strip as well. It looks very smart for bogans!

What has he got on his head?    Looks like a xmas tree, or maybe something to ward of aliens (the ufo sort) 

 

[Jesus]

fury really had to ditch the fluro. I can not see them selling many shirts. I dont think i will mind it on the field, but i can not think people will go out and buy that shirt.

Gc's though looks like a throw back to our plain boring CWC kit.

Not sure which is worse both are dissapointing

 

[Dr Nick]

Gold coast with the m/arrow makes it look like some budget superhero

sydney, roar= same as before
newcastle's one is at least better than their acl jersey
wellington away= fail

i wouldnt mind an all yellow kit for the away mariners either

agreed

Well given everyone else has done reviews:

Adelaide - Home kit same as always (this is a *good* thing!), away kit is classy. Though having said that, I've heard many comments about black + summer heat = painful gurgling death...

Brisbane - As they make it simpler, it gets better. Don't much like the epaulettes, but it's still an improvement on previous kits.

Central Coast - I'm OK (now) with the shift to navy, would prefer narrower stripes, but if they're going to go down the wide stripes road it'd be good if they stuck to it and built a bit of  a brand identity there. You should be able to take the badge and sponsors off and tell whose kit it is from 100m away. Away kit should be all yellow.

Gold Coast - Looking like our CWC kit is the least of its problems. I happen to really like the simplicity of it. Then there's that f**k off huge logo in the middle of it...

Melbourne - Looks fine, but wtf is with the gills?

Newcastle - Home kit's a big improvement on the AFC CL kit, and the away kit is just class. Reminds me of a very nice looking manc scum away kit from a few years back.

North Queensland - You can make the colours work I think, but the swirl? Looks like a streak of bilious vomit. It's a seriously unfortunate kit for a start-up club. I hope that their other merch isn't so fugly.

Perth - The home kit's great. Perth had a stripy kit with Kappa I think back in about 99-00, and this harks back to that. That will surely please the league's most accomplished whinging home end.

Sydney - Simple, good. Nothing much to say, but there shouldn't be. Better than any kit they've had so far.

Wellington - Both kits look great. I'm jealous.

 

[Arabmariner]

I'm not a big fan of our new strip.

However give me a winning team and they can play in netball skirts for all I care !

 

[Dutch Wives]

i like our home strip, though i think it would look better with the club emblem on the left as opposed to the centre.

there seems to be alot in favour of an all yellow away strip.
would an online petition of sorts help the club come to the same idea?
