New Balance Auckland FC Away Player Elite Jersey
The New Balance Auckland FC Away Player Elite Jersey is the exact match day specification worn by the Auckland FC squad on the field. Predominantly white with blue detailing inspired by the misty Waitakere Ranges, it combines the club's distinctive away design with a lightweight, flexible player construction and close athletic cut built specifically for football performance.
Unlike the replica version, the Player Elite Away Jersey is the same shirt specification worn by Auckland FC's players on match day. The construction is focused on performance rather than providing the more relaxed feel expected from a supporter jersey.
Its lightweight, flexible construction and close player specific cut are designed to sit neatly against the body during play. For supporters, this is the closest representation of what Auckland FC actually wear on the pitch, rather than a replica interpretation of the match day shirt.
Inspired by the Waitakere Ranges
The away design takes its inspiration from the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park. Lines of small blue raindrops run across the predominantly white jersey and gradually come together towards the hem, creating the appearance of misty mountain tops when viewed from a distance. It's a clever piece of design that gives Auckland FC an unmistakable connection to home when playing away.
The Auckland FC crest sits on the chest alongside the season's gold A-League logo, recognising the club's status as defending champions. Inside the collar, the gold inscription "Always advance, never retreat" adds a more subtle piece of Black Knights identity.
Built for performance
NB DRYTEC moisture management helps manage sweat as intensity increases, while the detailed fabric construction, contrast piping and club graphics complete the same performance focused look worn by the Auckland FC squad.
Who is the Auckland FC Away Player Elite Jersey best for?
The Auckland FC Away Player Elite Jersey is best for supporters who want the same jersey specification worn by the Auckland FC squad on match day. It is also the appropriate choice if you prefer a lightweight, close fitting football jersey rather than the more relaxed construction of a replica supporter shirt.

How does the Player Elite Away Jersey compare with the Replica?
The key difference is construction and fit. The Player Elite is the exact shirt specification worn by Auckland FC's squad on match day, with a lightweight, flexible construction and close player cut designed for performance.
The Replica Away Jersey recreates the team's match day look in a supporter focused jersey. If you want the closest possible version to what the players wear, choose the Player Elite. If your priority is a more casual supporter fit, the Replica is the better option.
