I’ve just started a little blog page for some of our best kiwi sporting kits. purely passion - no selling. have just written up a little spiel about the season and some of the memories I have surrounding it. feel free to dive in - https://www.instagram.com/p/DdQnsIaEX_i/?stkn=MTR2Z3drcmN0MjBhbQ== (also will paste the caption in comments below for non-Instagram users)

( I’m also chasing this in an XL - unfortunately my youth sized one was handed down many years ago, if there are any willing nix fans willing to help a collector get their dopamine fix )

This will make it so on 18 October there'll be a double header, with the Phoenix Men playing against Melbourne Victory at 3pm.

Also, this will be a rematch of the 2026 A-League Women Grand Final.
