Wellington collab with international stars to launch ‘everyday, everywhere’ away kit

Check out some of the maddest moments from the history of the A-League

Wellington Phoenix have revealed their new away kit for the upcoming 2024-25 A-Leagues season.

Similar to last year’s away kit which saw both the Isuzu UTE A-League and Ninja A-League sides don a charcoal strip, the ‘Nix have once again opted for the same colour, albeit with a number of fresh changes.

Branded as a being a kit that can be worn “everyday and everywhere”, the Phoenix believe the strip pays tribute to their fans who support the club “from all corners of the world”.

Designed by Paladin Sports, the playing shirt features the tohu gifted to the club by local iwi Te Āti Awa.

Te Raukura (the plume of white feathers), which is an important symbol to the tribes who affiliate to Te Āti Awa and other Taranaki iwi, is the centrepiece of the tohu and takes centre stage on the front of the shirt.

One noticeable change from last season’s kit though is the addition of a collar, which the club believes gives fans the option to wear the shirt in any setting, “offering a clean and contemporary look”.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix revealed they worked with the club’s commercial partners on the look and feel of the strip and ultimately opted for a “white out” approach when it came to sponsorship – allowing fans to wear the kit in both matchday and casual settings.

Furthermore, the club have also teamed up with a host of prominent athletes – including All Blacks flanker Du’Plessis Kirifi and New Zealand international Netballers Mila Reuelu-Buchanan and Jane Watson – to showcase the new away shirt as a “statement of style off the pitch”.
