The wait is over. Today, we proudly unveil the full imagery of the new North Wellington FC kits, a collection that marks a new chapter while honouring every step of the journey that brought us here.

More than just a change of strip, these kits are a tribute to our community and the foundations laid by our founding clubs: Onslow FC, Johnsonvilla, and Newlands Paparangi United. Their legacy is now united under the North Wellington banner, woven into the very fabric of what we wear.

The Home and Away Collections

In a first for the club, our home and away kits mirror one another in design and detail. This symmetry symbolises a club that stands together, maintaining a consistent identity no matter where we play.

• The Home Kit: A deep, bold navy that incorporates our traditional maroon and sky blue. It is a modern representation of our strength and local pride.

• The Away Kit: Primarily maroon, this kit offers a deliberate nod to our "Aston Villa" roots and the spirit of the legacy clubs that formed us.

Details That Matter

As teased last week, the finer points of these kits carry the weight of our history. From the Life Members and centurions subtly integrated into the sleeves to our core values printed inside the collar, every player who pulls on this shirt carries our community with them. The year 1972 sits proudly on the back of the neck, marking the year we began our journey as North Wellington FC.

Beyond the Pitch

This launch also introduces our full range for the upcoming season, including:

• High-performance Goalkeeper kits in vibrant, contrasting palettes.

• New Training wear designed for the rigours of the TDP and club sessions.

• A refreshed range of Off-field apparel, allowing our supporters and volunteers to wear the North Wellington colours with pride away from Alex Moore Park.

“We know from feedback that having a shirt which provided a connection to the club’s traditional colours was important. This bespoke design offered the opportunity to do this and more,  and we couldn’t be prouder of how it has turned out.”  Fraser Kirby, Club President

NORTH WELLINGTON FC x PALADIN CRAFTED TOGETHER

Since early 2025, North Wellington FC has worked closely with Paladin Sports, our new official apparel partner, to bring this collection to life.

The process has been one of collaboration and creativity, combining Paladin’s design expertise with the club’s deep desire to have a better connection to its past. From early sketches to the final details, every element was considered through the lens of what North Wellington FC stands for: community, legacy, and pride.

“Working closely with Fraser and the North Wellington FC team over the past few months has been a privilege, and we are proud to be the apparel partner of such a respected club. From our very first conversations, the importance of North Wellington’s history was clear. Honouring that legacy became central to the design process.

The result is a bespoke, high quality range built on strong foundations from the past while looking confidently to the future. 

Every player, coach, and supporter who wears the colours of North Wellington FC can feel that connection. We are excited to grow together and look forward to seeing North Wellington FC continue to thrive with Paladin”.

- Matt Hamilton, Paladin New Zealand Head of Sales & Marketing

This partnership has produced a range that feels authentically ours, built from the ground up to represent not just what we wear, but who we are.

Every name, a story. Every stitch, a legacy.

Our Colours. Our Crest. Our Community.
