New suppliers Paladin Sports created a brand new design for the season, incorporating the modern faded stripes through the shirt "complemented by the traditional features of a Phoenix shirt," says the club.

The famous black and yellow colours remain alongside E Rere Te Keo, recognising Wellington as the home “the resounding call” of the Wellington harbour taniwha Ngake.

The home strip consists of a yellow shirt, black shorts and yellow socks with the away strip being a reverse with a black shirt, yellow shorts and black socks.

The design also allows for the ability to mix the Home and Away kits, depending on the opposition’s colours.

Phoenix General Manager David Dome said he was thrilled by the new kit design and believes fans will be love it too.

''It has been an enjoyable process to create the new playing strips which will breathe new life into the club," he said today.

''It is never an easy process when working with a new kit manufacturer but Paladin Sports have been extremely accommodating and the attention to detail has been second to none.

''I believe the fans will enjoy the fresh new look of the kits and the affordability of the supporter range in general as we look forward to the new campaign and an exciting new future for us and the competition as a whole.''

Skipper Steven Taylor says he will be excited to walk out in the new strip when their season kicks off on October 13 at Westpac Stadium.

''I can’t wait to see our home fans at Westpac and to be wearing our new design will be a fantastic feeling,'' Taylor said.

''There is a real optimism here in Wellington that we can build on our previous success and become a real force within the competition.

''We have a great mix of young talent alongside an experienced core of players which puts us in a good position to succeed this season.

''Those who were here last season are still hurting from our premature exit and so the whole squad is driven to surpass what we achieved.

''Ufuk has given us the tools to succeed and we’re looking forward to showing our potential this season in front of our fans as we fight for the badge.''
