Playing Kit
The general consensus among Phoenix fans was for a kit featuring yellow and black vertical stripes, however this format did not comply with the A-League template required by Reebok at the time Phoenix was admitted into the League. Instead, players wore a predominantly black strip with yellow and white trim for the first two seasons. When Reebok lifted constraints on kit designs in 2009, Phoenix adopted yellow and black vertical stripes. The Phoenix currently have a four-year contract with adidas, and the 2011/12 kit retains the stripes on the front, but has a solid yellow back. The badge is a shield depicting a rising phoenix.
The team's current kit sponsors are Sony (front of kit, and below number on back), TAB (sleeve), Export 33 (front of shorts), Revera (back of shorts) and Nova Energy (back of shirt).

Famous quotes containing the word playing:
“I am now quite lame, from scuffling, all my fingers stiffened by playing ball. Pretty business for a law student. Yes, pretty enough; why not? Good exercise and great sport.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
