Auckland A-League football team in 2024

i like the idea, blue stripes are auckland, black is NZ and as @Bovidae it doesnt hurt having that similarity to Inter
Wimbledon released this kit and we have started a connection with Boca on the back of it
I also like the idea of giving it a proper club name (Auckland FC)...but just mentioning a nickname (Black Knights)...so they can embrace it when it suits but ditch it if it becomes cringy

Smart kit for Auckland FC
When they are lying rolling about on the ground after being tapped on the shin's, the shirts will look like Ponsonby rugby

Cool to have another team from NZ in the A-League, hopefully both sides can push the Aussies on a regular. Phoenix are definitely doing that this year.

No big names yet, but some Kiwis have signed.
Auckland FC have contracted three fringe All Whites and an under-23 international as the new A-League club’s first signings.
The Black Knights unveiled goalkeeper Michael Woud, 25, fullback Francis de Vries, 29, midfielder Cameron Howieson, 29, and forward Jesse Randall, 21, at Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter on Thursday.https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/350295291/all-whites-among-auckland-fc-inaugural-signings-league

Enjoyed that, haven't really followed the A League since the Knights folded in 2007.
Nice to have a local team to support.

@African-Monkey I'm not a football guy but even I might follow them. Especially since they play in Ponsonby Rugby colors!

Must've been a lot of unused freebies in that 'sold out' crowd.
Great to see Akl back in the A League but it was a hard watch at times. Pretty low standard of football.
The A League must be no stronger than the English 3rd division

Yeah, would compare it to league 1. I went to a league 1 game earlier in the season (Charlton v Leyton Orient), it was probably the same standard style wise, maybe slightly better than that but not much better.

I haven't watched much A League TBH but I would say Saturday's game was mid League 2 standard. Maybe the top sides would be League 1 I can't really comment - but hey the Fern....
Mid league 2 standard is a lot worse than that haha.
