A Legacy in Every Shirt

At North Wellington Football Club, we believe that our future is built on the foundations of our past. Today, we are proud to share the story behind part of our new club kit, a design that serves as a symbolic bridge between our beginnings in 1972 and the ambitious future we are building together.

Honouring Our History on the Field In a first for our club, the new shirt features the names of those who have shaped our story. Sublimated directly into the fabric of the sleeves are the names of players who have made 100+ First Team appearances, scored 50+ First Team goals, or have been named Life Members.

These aren’t just names; they are the stories of dedication and community spirit that define us. When our players take the pitch, they will carry the legacy of names of many who have paved the way for players today.
