Corica and DougK needing to have good hard looks at themselves.
"The scroll of homebred players set to sign for Auckland includes goalkeeper Michael Woud, who spent last season on loan at J2 League Ventforet Kofu from parent club Kyoto Santa.
Former Wellington Phoenix right back Callan Elliott - currently on the books of Scottish Premiership side Motherwell - is also on the hit list, along with fellow All Whites international Elijah Just, most recently contracted to second tier Danish outfit AC Horsens.
Defensive midfielder Bill Tuiloma, currently based with MLS side Charlotte FC, is another Auckland are eager to repatriate.
Sarpreet Singh is also on the wish list, though plucking the exciting attacking midfielder out of 2. Bundesliga side Hansa Rostock remains something of a long shot."
I went down a bit of a Wikipedia rabbit-hole a little while ago, and the amount of Kiwis playing in college teams is insane. You could literally build 2-3 squads from the amount of New Zealanders playing in various U.S. and Canadian College teams.
Well we all know how boring Corica ball will be
I’d love to see Singh back here, very entertaining player.
Volcanoes would actually be fine. But expect one of the FC’s with a black knight logo
Only if they did a giant chemical reaction volcano explosion like we did in school every time they score…
Boutique stadium on Whakaari, what could go wrong?
I think my head might explode if it is just Black Knights FC. Nothing grinds my gears more than sporting teams with no geographical location in their name 
It’s Auckland fc
Black and dark blue for the colours?
They say it’s “electric blue” in this case.
Auckland sports teams have traditionally worn royal blue, and the newest A-League club follows suit with the use of electric blue as their primary colour.
Oh good. Easily distinguishable from Sky Blue™ and City Blue™.
Don’t forget the country’s shame in navy.
And whatever the fuck Newcastle will go back to when they bin the gold again.
So there’s Auckland City FC, Auckland United FC who both play in the New Zealand Div 1, now Auckland FC.
I didn’t hate the Black Knights moniker. Only it was a bit close to the NZ Knights and they were dreadful.
I don’t mind the electric blue/black combo.
Without racking my brain on all the alternate strips currently used in the league, I don’t think we have that shade of blue used by anyone else so there should be no direct clash.
