The Nix kit is designed by Paladin Sports for a sixth season and again includes the tohu gifted to the club by local iwi Te \u0100ti Awa.
The home shirt features subtle pinstripes down the front and back, while the tohu is delicately detailed on the shoulders and sleeves and in a black stripe which follows down both sides of the shirt and continues on to the shorts.
Te Raukura (the plume of white feathers), which is an important symbol to the tribes who affiliate to Te \u0100ti Awa and other Taranaki iwi, once again takes centre stage on the front of the shirt.
OPPO is to the fore of the men\u2019s home kit this season, while fellow principal partner Entelar Group is front and centre on the women\u2019s home strip.
The men\u2019s and women\u2019s Wellington Phoenix home kits for the 2024-25 A-Leagues are available now<\/a>.
\u00a0The club\u2019s away strip for the upcoming seasons will be unveiled next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More about the tohu gifted to the Wellington Phoenix:<\/em>
<\/strong>Acclaimed designer Charmaine Love created a tohu on behalf of Te \u0100ti Awa ki Te Whanganui a Tara in 2022. This taonga was gifted to the Wellington Phoenix and the design was incorporated into the team\u2019s kit for the 2022-23 A-Leagues.
Te Raukura (the white feather or plume of white feathers) is centred on the front of the shirts. It is an important symbol to the tribes who affiliate to Te \u0100ti Awa and other Taranaki Iwi. Te Raukura symbolises the peaceful resistance of their tupuna at Parihaka in the 1880s and the white feather is still worn by their descendants today. Te Raukura represents spiritual, physical, and communal harmony and unity. It is an acknowledgement of a higher spiritual power and is a symbol of faith, hope, and compassion for all.
Ngake and Wh\u0101taitai, the two taniwha of Wellington harbour Te Whanganui-a-Tara feature on either side of the tohu. Taniwha are mythical M\u0101ori creatures and guardians and represent mauri (life force) of a place in physical form and kaitiakitanga (guardianship).
A surrounding element of the tohu features koru (the unfurling new leaf of the ponga fern), symbolising new life, growth, strength and peace. The koru represents the whenua and tangata of Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
Ngaru (waves) and mang\u014dpare (hammerhead shark) are also integrated in the tohu. The ngaru represents the cutting of the waves when waka travelled the waters of Te Whanganui-a-Tara. The mang\u014dpare represents and symbolises strength, courage, determination, leadership and a fighting spirit, all values shared with the Wellington Phoenix.
The tohu also features Taranaki maunga which is hugely important to mana whenua and considered tapu.
\u201cMana whenua are proud to gift this taonga to the Wellington Phoenix, uniting us all, players and fans alike across Te Whanganui-a-Tara and throughout Aotearoa,\u201d Charmaine Love said.
\u201cAs kaitiaki, its new guardians, may you draw strength and inspiration from the mana of the uniform. Kia kaha.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":254,"featured_media":322980,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[329,330,356,343,355],"tags":[],"competition":[],"acf":{"match_card_embed_league":null,"match_card_embed_club":null,"match_card_embed_match":false,"match_card_embed_disable":false,"auto_publish_updates":true,"reference_article":null,"article_featured_video":"","article_featured_video_tagline":"","article_byline":"","article_media_type":"news","article_video":"","gallery":"","shared_ffa_source":"keepup","shared_hide_in_app":false,"article_player":"","article_team":"","article_competition":"","article_match":"","credit":"","related_articles":"","push_to_social":false,"priority":1,"sport":false,"language":"en","private_content":false,"access_level":"","article_id":"","app_featured_image":null,"article_content_group":"news"},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/wellingtonphoenix.com\/news\/nix-unveil-new-home-strip-for-the-2024-25-a-leagues\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Nix unveil new home strip for the 2024-25 A-Leagues","url":"http:\/\/wellingtonphoenix.com\/news\/nix-unveil-new-home-strip-for-the-2024-25-a-leagues\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/wellingtonphoenix.com\/news\/nix-unveil-new-home-strip-for-the-2024-25-a-leagues\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/wellingtonphoenix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/10\/Wellington-Phoenix-Merch-Banner-2200x851-1.png?w=150&h=150&crop=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/wellingtonphoenix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/10\/Wellington-Phoenix-Merch-Banner-2200x851-1.png"},"articleSection":"Breaking News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"brenton"}],"creator":["brenton"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Wellington Phoenix","logo":"https:\/\/wellingtonphoenix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/04\/cropped-Wellington_Phoenix_FC_logo-2.png"},"keywords":[],"dateCreated":"2024-10-01T23:00:00Z","datePublished":"2024-10-01T23:00:00Z","dateModified":"2024-10-01T23:00:00Z"},"rendered":"
