Paladin to keep kitting out the Nix

The Wellington Phoenix are delighted to announce Paladin Sports New Zealand is continuing as the club’s official strip partner.

The Phoenix and Paladin have agreed to a multi-year deal for the Kiwi company to be the kit provider for the men’s and women’s A-League sides, as well as the club’s burgeoning academy.

Paladin have provided the Nix with custom-designed quality bespoke team wear for the past three seasons.

“We are very excited to be back on board with Paladin Sports,” Phoenix men’s goalkeeper Oli Sail said.

“They support us both on and off the field with high quality sportswear.”

Women’s captain Lily Alfeld says the team loved wearing Paladin’s clothing during their inaugural season.

“All of the players commented on how amazing the kit is and everyone looked forward to wearing the strip on game day,” Alfeld said.

“All of their gear is all super comfortable so I’m really excited to know Paladin will still be kitting us out this season.”
