Auckland City FC tshirts

The design:
Old style football - like the type that appears on the crests of many established football clubs throughout the world, ie Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea, Benfica, Spurs, Norwich, Rangers, Wigan Athletic, FC Basel etc.
Laurel wreath - a reference to the clothing worn by terrace casuals across the football stadiums of the world.

The ball and wreath image has been used by various Ultra groups for a number of years.  More recently the ball and wreath image has been used by football supporters around the world to signify many of the principles which are central to Auckland City FC's operation, ie affordable football ($50 season tickets, children under 15 free); players who make huge sacrifices to hold down day jobs/tertiary education and still train 4 times a week; and a club run on the dedication and hard work of volunteers.

The colour: AUCKLAND CITY LIGHT BLUE

The price: $35

Wear the tshirt and support the club and the principles it stands for.
