History
Founded in 2014 by chairman Joshua McCrae, The Plunderers was made predominantly of Mount Albert Grammar School classmates and throughout the history of the club, is yet to sign anyone not educated at 'MAGS'. The club was successful in winning the league title in their initial season but are yet to secure any silverware following this.
Club badge and colours
Plunderers FC's first season (2014/15) was played in a replica Real Madrid kit. The pink base colour in this kit was the driving factor behind what would become the icon of The Plunderers, their vivid pink kits. The Plunderers created their own personalised kit at the start of the 2015/16 season with their crest on the front.
The Plunderers first crest was developed by Chairman and Captain, Joshua McCrae. The fist being a metaphor, conveying IDeaS of power and dominance, epitomizing the values of the club. In 2015, the club's crest was recreated but kept the same iconic image of a fist, this new crest was the first to be put on a Plunderers FC kit.
Kit Manufacturers and Sponsors
Plunderers FC's kit has been supplied by AliExpress for the past two seasons after a deal with Adidas during the debut season fell through.
For the 2014/15 season, Fly Emirates was their main sponsor. However in 2015, media mogul StockGiant signed a three year contract with the club for an undisclosed fee.
