The worst thing is the Jets again dissolve their identity. What are they? Not gold anymore, not blue and red stripes anymore. Next season they'll change it up again.
Almost every single team in the league has no idea what they are or any continuity in their designs. The Wanderers are set forever. The Victory have had some good continuity and not having a 'v' for a short while seems an anomaly more than an inconsistency... I guess Brisbane and Sydney have realised they don't want their superfluous blues and oranges respectively. But what about the rest of them?
Melbourne City – white is a bad home colour in Australia. It's very weak and bland, and when every other side in the comp has it as an away strip, you give off a vibe of inferiority. What's their go? Will they really wear that thing forever? Will they just end up recycling Man City's third choices every few years?
Perth Glory – stripes or pinstripes? Purple and white and that's it? Keep the kits to simple designs, bring in a predominately hooped or striped variant for away solutions, but far out... bring back the orange! How many sports sides in the world have purple and orange? And how many can associate it with genuine success and good times? It is arguably THE definitive Australian domestic soccer colourway. It's very bold, but it's also strangely strong. You can have any average and stock Nike/Adidas/Umbro in the world, but just those two colours on it, and it could be a classic.
Adelaide – shit kits since day dot. Terrible missed chances of emphasising a state-identity. Probably not an issue of identity at all, but their poor execution of kits and their logo makes me hate it.
Phoenix – Black home shirt, stripes, mostly yellow or mostly black, all yellow (basically) this year. What is the go? Black and yellow stripes are fine. No one'll hate them for keeping the status quo.
Mariners – I love you but jesus christ. These new strips are absolute gold and I'm seriously considering buying one because, no shit, they'll be up there one day. As anti-classic as the Socceroos spew kit. It's so tacky and regional league and regional club. But aside from that... hoops, stripes, centre-panels, white socks... and they change their home colour every year. Why can't they just jump onto something and keep it? There's enough room to manoeuvre the clash solutions if they want to change things. Why don't they have a distinctive home kit yet? There are so many inspirations worldwide... jump on one.
