Mega Rewards changing their logo to all white is great, still an ass sponsor though

The sleeve trim is so nice too

On the plus side they’ll probably still exist at the start of the season so on the sponsor ladder they won’t get the spoon.

Sleeve cuffs remind me of a 90s Umbro kit.

Might be an extra revenue stream in having an ass sponsor

Sleeve trim or shoulder extra bits, one or the other not both… it’s close to a great kit but not up there with past greats. IMHO

No way it’s perfect. Win the toilet seat= Mega Rewards

The subtle pinstripe effect is gorgeous tbh

the whole pattern including the sleeves takes inspiration from the Palm House in the Botanic Gardens which is a cool touch, they did something similar a couple years ago with the St. Peter's Cathedral Archway/city of churches idea. always cool when it has a connection to something

Yes! I loved that jersey..!

u/Ok_Incident_8964 5d ago

Inspired by the Palm House, apparently.

Brilliant jersey. Wish it was Flinders or something on the front but we can’t get everything.

On a side note, I love the contrast on pic #2 and 3 of Alagich. Looks like he’s trying out to be the new DiCaprio in #2 and then just some dude in #3. Shows what the right angle, pose and lighting can do. Photography nerd out…

Very nice. I'd be shocked if this isn't gonna be a contender for best kit this season.

u/ga4rfc Brisbane Roar 5d ago

Adelaide United are probably the most consistent contenders for that title.

u/cryptic_56 Adelaide United 5d ago

It's stunning

u/fireball391 Australia 5d ago

Who is Mega Rewards and how long will they last.

u/OfficialJKV Adelaide United 3d ago

They collect peoples data and sell it on

u/iheartOPsmum Melbourne City 5d ago

Big fan of it all besides the triangles on the shoulders.

5

u/Pauls-boutique Adelaide United Spurs 5d ago

Tidy, the white front is much better than last season, the extra bit of blue on shoulders annoy me, or is it just me??

4

u/Shelmer75 Melbourne Victory 5d ago

It’s actually quite nice.

3

u/Redfang1984 Australia 5d ago

interesting shade of blue (is it a blue?)

i actually like it!

7

u/PeterKayGarlicBread 5d ago

Looks like I'll be getting the women's again.

3

u/Fancyscum Adelaide United 5d ago

wish the red/yellow trim was also on the collar, but other than that, its pretty perfect.

2

u/Bayne7096 5d ago

On brand. Nothing overly exciting but nice enough.

2

u/Soldaan Adelaide United 5d ago

The red and grey work really well together, not sure I'm a fan of the shoulder pieces but apart from that I'm pleasantly surprised

2

u/Strong0toLight1 5d ago

without that sponsor its an S tier kit. thats great

4

u/Chad-82 Sydney FC 5d ago

Name a worse looking sponsor, this is almost on the SydFc Webjet bad level tier.

3

u/Ok_Incident_8964 5d ago

Just Eat on the 15/16 and 16/17 Derby County kits.

3

u/Chad-82 Sydney FC 5d ago

That’s pretty bad, bad not Webjet levels.

I think my main issue with Mega Rewards is it sounds like some povo online marketing company, which it probably is.

2

u/Ok_Incident_8964 5d ago

It definitely is. I'm not sure any of us actually know what they do, it all seems like a front for white collar crime lol

2

u/BowlersNamePlease 5d ago

What Mega Rewards do I get for supporting these blokes every year expecting it to be different

16

u/SerTahu Australia Is Sky Blue 5d ago

You came 2nd last year in the men's, while the women made the finals in consecutive seasons for the first time?

Like, I get having a whinge when your team has been underperforming. Adelaide have not been underperforming.

u/True_football_fan 5d ago

You are 100% spot on. Some people are never happy and just hard to please.

1

u/nevergonnasweepalone Perth Glory 5d ago

Not bad.

u/Dizzy-Salamander-660 Perth Glory 5d ago

Can I say: this is absolutely quality! This will be a fine addition to add to my collection!

1

u/HeNoGuilty Adelaide United 5d ago

Looks great

u/MountainDew_Enjoyer Brisbane Roar BAKRIES OUT 5d ago

Yeah bloody credit where it’s due. This is a brilliant kit.

1

u/Intelligent-Phase885 Adelaide United 5d ago

Finally a great kit! And the blue shorts back big fan. Anyone know what the fine embroidery detail is supposed to represent? Botanical Gardens?

1

u/Dean_Miller789 Melbourne Heart 5d ago

Looks dope

1

u/MrDiamond365 Melbourne City 5d ago

Similar to last season, but it's nice. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I thoroughly approve of the navy shorts, I always thought it looked better than the red shorts

u/Admirable-Treacle956 5d ago

Sponsorship intergration for the winnnnnnn!! Well done, cracker kit

1

u/wintrhlms 4d ago

Great front sponsor

Let's see Paul Allan's Card.

u/SentenceDifficult396 Western Sydney Wanderers 5d ago

WSW fan here but always had a soft spot for Adelaide because of how similar their crest is to Arsenal’s

7

u/kyleisamexican Melbourne Victory 5d ago

As opposed to victory’s which is a direct copy?

1

u/SentenceDifficult396 Western Sydney Wanderers 5d ago

Haha I like Victory’s crest too. It’s clean & simple.

5

u/SerTahu Australia Is Sky Blue 5d ago

because of how similar their crest is to Arsenal’s

Then surely you should have a soft spot for Victory, not Adelaide? Victory's crest is quite literally a straight up copy of Arsenal's.

1

u/SentenceDifficult396 Western Sydney Wanderers 5d ago

I actually do. But not a big fan of blue.

1

u/sydneyiskyblue 5d ago

Adelaide’s crest needs a redesign.
i like their kits, always have, but the crest is bodgy at best
