New Zealand Home & Away Kits
The iconic all-white home shirt earned the team their famous "All Whites" nickname when they first appeared in an all-white uniform against Taiwan during 1982 World Cup qualification. This distinctive colour choice - a deliberate play on the legendary "All Blacks" rugby team name - has become synonymous with New Zealand football.
The traditional home kit features pristine white as its base, adorned with the silver fern badge on the chest, representing New Zealand's national symbol. Recent Puma designs incorporate subtle pinstripe patterns with black collar, sleeves and cuffs on the white version, while the inverse black version features white detailing. Nike's 2020-21 design featured offset side stripes with repeated black silver fern trees, while the black alternate kit had a sublimated allover graphic based on New Zealand's national tree.

The Iconic 1982 World Cup Kit
The shirt worn at Spain 1982 holds legendary status in New Zealand football. Made by Adidas, this was the kit that launched the "All Whites" era and marked New Zealand's World Cup debut. The simple white design with three stripes became instantly recognisable, and Puma has since recreated this classic look with a 2025 retro edition featuring pinstripe details, proving the enduring appeal of this iconic shirt.
That 1982 squad featured 11 British-born players in a 22-man roster, including captain Steve Sumner and striker Steve Wooddin, both of whom had played club football in England before immigrating. While the tournament results were tough - three losses and 12 goals conceded - the experience established New Zealand on the global football stage.
The Unbeaten 2010 World Cup Campaign
New Zealand's 2010 World Cup shirts, manufactured by Nike, witnessed one of football's most remarkable achievements. The All Whites became the only unbeaten team at the South Africa tournament, drawing all three group stage matches against Slovakia (1-1), Italy (1-1), and Paraguay (0-0). Despite elimination in the group stage, the campaign showcased New Zealand's defensive resilience and tactical discipline.
The all-black away shirt used during this era was made from recycled materials, with Nike innovatively creating each jersey from eight recycled plastic bottles. This environmental consciousness combined cutting-edge sustainability with performance fabric technology, featuring moisture-wicking properties ideal for South African conditions.
New Zealand's Kit Manufacturer Evolution
New Zealand's kit journey spans multiple decades and manufacturers: In-house designs until 1973, Adidas (1978-1982, 1998-2002), Le Coq Sportif (1984), Pony (1989-1991), Ribero (1993), Mitre (1996-1997), Nike (2004-2023), and Puma (2024-present).
The partnership with Puma, announced in December 2023, ended a 20-year relationship with Nike and represents New Zealand's largest-ever kit deal. Puma now outfits all 10 New Zealand Football national teams, including the All Whites, Football Ferns, youth teams at various levels, futsal teams, and even the eFootball squad.
The Nike era (2004-2023) brought technical innovations and clean, modern designs. Nike incorporated M?ori cultural elements, including printing "AOTEAROA" (the M?ori name for New Zealand) on inside necklines, respectfully honouring indigenous heritage while maintaining performance standards.
Puma's 2024 launch featured white kits with teal accents representing New Zealand's natural beauty, and black kits with silver and grey camouflage backgrounds adorned with fern accents. Both designs use smart v-neck styling and feature the famous silver fern badge prominently on the chest.
Technical Specifications & Fabric Innovation
Modern New Zealand shirts utilise cutting-edge performance fabrics designed for professional football:
Moisture Management: Advanced wicking technology pulls sweat away from the body
Breathable Mesh Panels: Strategic ventilation zones in high-heat areas
Lightweight Construction: Sub-150g shirt weights for optimal comfort
Four-Way Stretch: Ergonomic fit allowing complete freedom of movement
Sublimated Graphics: Fade-resistant prints that won't peel or crack
Recent Puma releases appear to be fully sublimated designs, a decision potentially related to the partnership being finalised in December 2023, allowing for complex graphic work including camouflage patterns and fern motifs across the entire garment.
New Zealand's Football Legends
The white and black shirts have been worn by exceptional talent who've represented New Zealand with distinction across generations.
Chris Wood stands as New Zealand's greatest-ever striker and current talisman. With over 229 Premier League appearances and 78 international goals, Wood has consistently scored double-digit league goals in England's top flight - an achievement few players from any nation match.
Ryan Nelsen remains the most experienced New Zealander in Premier League history. The legendary centre-back made 198 Premier League appearances, captaining Blackburn Rovers between 2007-2010 before moves to Tottenham and QPR. His leadership, defensive prowess, and ability to organize from the back made him a Premier League icon. After retiring, Nelsen transitioned to coaching, managing Toronto FC in MLS.
Winston Reid provided defensive solidity at the highest level for over a decade. The powerful centre-back made 166 Premier League appearances for West Ham United, earning the club's Player of the Year award in 2013. His aerial dominance and tactical positioning made him a cornerstone of West Ham's defence during their most successful recent period.
Wynton Rufer was voted Oceania Player of the Century, cementing his place as New Zealand's greatest-ever player. The striker terrorized Bundesliga defences while playing for Werder Bremen, becoming the only New Zealand player to win major European honours. His technical ability and goal-scoring instinct at the highest level inspired generations of Kiwi footballers.
