The Wellington Phoenix launched their new uniform in the city on Wednesday.

“It’s a bold look that we believe is the most striking of any team in the Hyundai A-League,” says adidas Sports Marketing Strategic Manager Paul Stephens. “It also features the same patented adidas technology that goes into the uniforms of teams such as Real Madrid and Chelsea.”

Scoop has yet to be informed of any outrage over the retail price of replica jerseys.
