Agreed. I know in the scheme of things its totally unimpotrant, but I love the logo. It looks very traditional and is very much an Association Football look. The home kit isn’t bad either. Simple, and easily discernable from others in the league.
Now they just have to get the important stuff right but it looks like a good start to this outside observer.

Nice kit and logo by the way, and Parra stadium looks mint with the logo on it.

Red and black hoops! Couldn’t they come up with something better than that? I hope the away shirts are better.

not the worst kit in the world, I’d reckon the logo and home strip is a good start for the club. Now they just need to market the hell out of the first Sydney derby..

I think its a great kit. They listened to the fans and it all actually looks and sounds like a football team, not a creation of a marketing ‘guru’ after a night on the nose candy. In this case I feel that simplicity equals class. It will evolve of course as all kits do, but a basic element of the hoops should be preserved as the club evolves and develops a history of its own.
FWIW, if you’re going to throw around terms like worst kit in the world, best you educate yourself. be prepared though:(

Love the logo. Not totally sold on the strip, but we’ll see how it looks on the pitch.

The club has ticked all the boxes so far. Obviously people will say they don’t like the logo and jersey etc, but this is traditional and a lot better than something like North Queensland’s horrible colours and name.
