Home needs black shorts.
Jeez it'll be nice to have Nike as our kit supplier.
That'll be the day
Away looks like their home shirts are inside-out. Awful IMHO
Brisbane have announced that UMBRO will be their kit supplier for the next 4 years. With an exclusivity clause to be the only club for the upcoming season with umbro kits. Of note through a partnership with amart and rebel shirts will retail for under $100.

Brisbane Roar Football Club has announced iconic football kit manufacturer Umbro as the club’s apparel partner for the next four Hyundai A-League seasons.
In addition to providing playing and training kit for Brisbane Roar’s Hyundai A-League, Westfield W-League and Foxtel National Youth League teams, the Umbro partnership will leverage the retail strength of Rebel and Amart Sports to manage the club’s game day merchandise and provide an expanded online experience.
Initial exclusivity was a priority for Brisbane Roar, meaning the three-time Hyundai A-League Champions will be the only club in the competition wearing the double diamonds in the 2014/15 season.
Brisbane Roar Managing Director Sean Dobson spoke highly of the new partnership, in particular Umbro’s approach to excellence and innovation.
“We are extremely excited to announce our association with Umbro,” Dobson said.
“Umbro has a strong heritage in our sport and it’s fitting that on the 10 year anniversary of the club’s inception that we partner with such an iconic football brand.
“We’ve worked very closely with Umbro to ensure the best quality and designs for our playing kits and by partnering with Rebel and Amart Sports can confirm the jerseys will retail for under $100.”
Umbro Australia Brand Manager Ryan Pittaway said the partnership marks a special milestone in the brand’s history.
“Umbro celebrates our 90th birthday this year, so to partner with the reigning Hyundai A-League Champions in their tenth anniversary year definitely adds to the excitement of the occasion,” Pittaway said.
“No other football brand comes close in terms of experience and this is what gives us the edge in delivering the world class football kit we know the Brisbane Roar players and fans expect.
“We want to ensure professional quality equipment is accessible to grassroots football teams and fans, so we’ve also developed a range of $40 complete Umbro football kits, which are available at Amart Sports and Rebel stores across Queensland.”
Brisbane Roar will reveal their kit for the upcoming season over the coming days.
Umbro is owned by Nike
Actually nike sold umbro to iconix about 2 years ago.Quote:

I’ll be honest I also think they wasted an opportunity with the new logo, its ok, but a little too simple and Peugeot-esque for my liking.
Having said that its still better then anything HSG has managed to get from a kit supplier and its cheaper too.
If the club wasn't an extension of hollandia-inala but of the Brisbane Knights or Rocklea united, is there any chance a new kit copying the croation national team would have been acceptable for the FFA?
Brisbane kit and logo is ugly
Dutch!!! please. More like tangerine Brisbane mimicking the SeasidersQuote:

I like the design & cut of the strip - just not the colour(s). Much better than our Rugby strip.
The Holland thing is bullshit. The Roar design isn't a national strip. It is an orange strip. There are plenty of others worldwide.
E.G. Blackpool, Barnet, Dundee utd, Wolves, Newport county and that is just from the UK.
I haven't researched any of those orange-wearing teams you've just listed, but how many of them have Dutch heritage in their club, like the Roar do?Quote:

The national club identity policy is a farce as-is, but if the FFA are going to let basically every non-cro ethnic tie through then it is a disgrace. Double standards everywhere. Normal service has resumed from the FFA, after what I thought was a huge positive change when Gallop came in.Quote:
Brisbane’s history as a club dates back to 1957 when Hollandia-Inala Soccer Club was formed by Dutch migrants. The club adopted the name Brisbane Lions in the 1970′s, however they agreed to change their name to Queensland Lions after the formation of an AFL club with the same name.
The Queensland Lions were one of two consortiums who bid for an A-League licence in Brisbane at the inception of the A-League and on 1 November 2004 they were confirmed as the owners of the Brisbane team for the A-League.

Dutch heritage, dutch colours, dutch logo. hard to deny the ethnic ties of the club, regardless of ethnicity of current owners.
The Roar had an existing colour pallette and logo, which they have changed after the introduction of the national club identity policy, which said changes have shown a stronger tie to the ethnic roots on which the club was based on - the logo very similar in design to an existing former (wat) ethnic logo, and the colour pallette more aligned with the ethnic nations. No straws to be clutched, it's a violation of the rules.
What this shows is how weak the legs of the FFA's argument is here, as nearly everything can be linked to ethnic roots and there's a case for every single change in football identity to have failed the club identity policy.
If Asians took control of WSW, had a blue day for a charity (beyond blue?), decided that blue tied in with the clubs direction etc more than black did, ditched the black in the jersey, put blue socks on the home kit - are they allowed to claim there are no Croatian ties to the decision?
So because a club had at some point a shareholder who had x lineage, the entire club can never be considered anything else, is bound by that shareholder for all time and any decisions that are made by a completely separate, new entity with no lineage or ties to the original partial shareholder are based around that small piece of history.
As I said clutching at straws, the Brisbane roar example is very weak.
By that line of reasoning we are a Cypriot team.

No great double standards by the FFA. Brisbane Roar are not making their football club a celebration of being ethnic Dutch. The Croat clubs in Australia have made their football clubs a celebration of being Croat for years and wish to continue this way without broadening their base.
The no ethnic stuff was originally brought in primarily because of the DAMAGE they were doing to the game and had done to the game in this country and less so with the Greek and Italian Clubs.
I live in Adelaide now, so no. No plans to ever go back, bunch of weird cultists that they are.Quote:

It all won't matter within a matter of months though. The Melbourne Knights are fighting the FFA Cup kit case and the policy will be abolished.
:rof: member, yeah how dare the Croat, Italian, Greek clubs be proud of their heritage. They didn't produce 3/4 of the Socceroos or anything like that :rof:
What Policy??Quote:

The Knights fighting this case in court shows once again that this club has far too much self absorbed interest about their Croatian origins than the good of football in this country at heart. They only wanted to put the sponsor on the shirt in the FFA Cup as a **** You to Lowy and the FFA in the first place.
Maybe if they put as much effort into diversifying and strengthening their club they could actually make a compelling case to regain a place at the top table in Australian football again. Unfortunately the club is more interested in fighting some petty agendas than being a positive contributor to football in Australia going forward

Probably not.Quote:
