The design of the new long sleeve home shirt features an embroidered badge as well as the iKobo.com sponsor logo. The brand is Adidas and the type is Squadra. The shorts are white and the socks are blue. Shorts and socks are generic brands and most tend to be purchased by the players themselves.

The official match balls also come from Asia. These are designed with a retro look of the late 60's and the 1970's. The ball is up to FIFA Approved Standard and is made of a durable material as they are also used on the 6-a-side artificial ground. The footballs have the Sassco and various sponsor logos on them. Sassco are also the official ball supplier to the WCFL.

The recommended branded supplier is always Adidas as it has been since the creation of the 6-a-side League and also the 11-a-side team. All players should attempt to obtain black Adidas tracksuit bottoms with three stripes on either side. Grey polo shirts have been provided to most of the regular team. Other suppliers tend to be sourced from the internet. Some of these are acknowledged on our links page.
