From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Melbourne Vixens are one of 10 netball teams that compete in the trans-Tasman ANZ Championship. They are an amalgamation of the Melbourne Phoenix and Melbourne Kestrels. Like the Adelaide Thunderbirds, NSW Swifts and the West Coast Fever, the Vixens have aligned themselves with an AFL club, in this case Collingwood.[1]
The Team and Brand Colours are Green, Crimson, Black and Navy.
The following quote, from the Vixens' website, explains the colour choice[2]:
"The colours of green and crimson were chosen to reflect that of a female, youthful and dynamic team. The colour of black conveys a sense of sophistication, authority and power. The colour of navy blue represents Victoria’s rich history of success at the elite sports level, a State with proud and active communities that will continue to support netball as we pursue our future triumphs."
The Vixens play their home games at two Melbourne stadiums; Vodafone Arena and the State Netball and Hockey Centre.
Sharelle McMahon will be captaining the team, with Bianca Chatfield as vice captain.
