    2009-10 Unique Strips
    Source

    EXCLUSIVE: Season five of the A-League will see a dramatic facelift for the ten teams with the FFA giving the go-ahead for many clubs to come up with their own new designs.

    According to sources, the Mariners' new striped look is just the tip of the iceberg for a league that, thus far, has stuck to a traditional unified look across the board.

    And the changes to the kits have been driven by feedback from the clubs.

    For instance, Adelaide's Reds shirt will feature a red jersey with a subtle white "knitted" effect - but their new away kit will shock and delight fans by abandoning the enforced white for an all-BLACK strip.

    Perth Glory will see stripes - believed to be alternating light and dark purple - on their front but plain on the back.

    Sydney FC will opt for a "cleaner" look with their sky blue shirts. Like the Mariners' new away top, Sydney's home strip is expected to be mainly light blue with only some thin dark blue detailing and just a hint of orange.

    And Wellington Phoenix will also go for stripes in a look similar to Hull City in the EPL, with multiple thin stripes compared to the Mariners' new look broad stripe.

    Newcomers North Queensland Fury's kit will be green - but definitely NOT the green and white hoops of Fury manager Ian Ferguson's former Glasgow rivals Celtic from his time as a Rangers star.

    The A-League kit sponsor is Reebok who are expected to unveil the new-look kits later in the year.

    Thank god. The current kits are so bland it actually makes the league more boring. There is no personality in them at all.

    Mariners and Jets will be using the same kits as their ACL ones for the normal season. None of the others have been released yet, but the descriptions are in the article.

    I did find, however, a pretty cool piece of concept art for the Sydney FC kit. Doubt it would happen though... too cool for the A-League :p

    Hopefully the compulsory wearing of the away strip for away games is abandoned. It's pretty stupid.

    Good news. :thumbsup:

    I've seen the offical kits for every team except for the Gold Coast and Qld.

    The home kit looks decent, but that away strip looks horrible.

    Tell you what though, watching CCM away against Newcastle or Wellington could be a pain. I imagine they'd wear the all-yellow v Wellington and the stripes v Newcastle, but neither of those are exactly a great contrast.

    And to add to that, GC are going to be blue and yellow. That could be a nightmare.
