Melbourne Victory is the most successful club currently in Australia’s A League, winning the league 4 times, completing the League and Championship playoff double, twice. They are also the only team in Australia so far who has completed the domestic treble of winning the League, the Championship playoff, and the Challenge Cup.

The club has had a relatively short life, being launched in 2003, when the National Soccer League was disbanded and replaced with the new A League. In the first season, they where the worst Australian team, with the New Zealand Knights finishing below them.

The 06-07 season saw them finally win the league in a year that saw the largest home and away crowd in their fixture against their big rivals Sydney FC. Melbourne announce a shift of venue which saw a huge jump in crowd numbers. The Grand Final game aw Melbourne clinch the Championship in front of a sell out crowd.

The 2008-09 season saw Melbourne really push for glory, winning the pre-season cup, then claiming the league title just ahead of Adelaide United on goals scored, and finally claimed the Championship by beating Adelaide 1-0 (again) in the Grand Final game. This victory saw Melbourne claim an unprecedented treble. This season also saw Melbourne become the first A League club to pass the 1,000,000 fan mark.

The club plays in blue white and silver. These are the traditional sports colours for teams playing out of the state of Victoria. The logo for the team is a simple blue shield with the club name, and a white chevron. Colloquially known as “The Big V.” A symbol more commonly associated with the Victoria Australian Rules Football team.

For the 2006-07 season the club introduced a grey away jersey with a white chevron on the front. This proved enormously popular with the fans so that the following season they instituted the chevron on the blue home kit. And finally, they ready for the 09-10 season, they switched the away kit. The home kit is blue with a white chevron, the new away kit is the opposite. White with a blue chevron.

The latest home kit is predominantly blue with a white chevron over the chest. The clubs “Big V” logo is located on the left side of the chest, within the chevron. On the right side of the chest is the A League logo. The clubs main sponsor is the Greek betting company, Intralot. Promoting their Australian arm. The sleeves are taken by KFC, and league sponsor Hyundai. The league wide kit supplier Reebok has its name just under the collar.

Under the arms on the sides of the kit are blue panels, but they feature a series of white stripes which fade downwards.
