Sydney FC unveil new kit as club embarks on fresh start after a disappointing season

As they return to a revamped Allianz Stadium, Sydney FC have a point to prove after failing to fire last season.

Fresh home, fresh faces, fresh look – it’s the start of a new era at Sydney FC.

The Sky Blues will return to the revamped and upgraded Allianz Stadium when the new A-League season starts next month in what has been dubbed a “Sydney Opera House-inspired strip”.

The Under Armour designed home and away playing kits will highlight a front-of-jersey pattern that resembles the ceramic tiles on the Opera House roof.

The sky blue home jersey will be decorated by a rounded, navy blue collar with a white

stripe, and will be complemented with dark blue shorts and sky blue socks,

The away jersey will have a white base with a grey sublimation of the Opera House sail and a V-neck navy and sky blue collar. The strip will be completed by white shorts and white socks.

“The designs are fantastic,” Sydney FC midfielder Patrick Yazbek said.

“The designs are fantastic. They are clean and slick, and they are the perfect look for our return to Allianz Stadium.”

The Sky Blues – who are seeking redemption after failing to play finals football last season – open their new A-League campaign on October 8 against Melbourne Victory at Allianz Stadium.

There are several new faces in Sydney’s squad, including English pair Jack Rodwell and Joe Lolley, and Slovakian winger Robert Mak.

Among a host of departures are retired Brazilian striker Bobo, and two-time Johnny Warren medallist Milos Ninkovic, who has defected to the Western Sydney Wanderers.

Despite his side’s shock Australia Cup quarter-final loss to NPL Victoria club Oakleigh, Sky Blues coach Steve Corica said there was a “good buzz” in the Sydney camp.

“The new players have settled in really nicely – it’s a good feeling,” Corica said.
