I'm assuming that this 3rd will be a once off, and as a modest collector (80+ Palace shirts incl. many match worn/ prepared), I can foresee that this will become a valuable and much sought-after shirt in the future.

People are very enthusiatic about it in Argentina... Palace just gained a lot of new supporters. I'm sure Jules Speroni would approve !!!

All that's missing now is THE SASH !!!!!!!

 


Mine's a light and bitter.

There's no such thing as home and away kits. Our kit is red and blue, then you have alternate kits for when colours clash. Wouldn't class us the same club as the original crystal Palace but nothing wrong paying homage to them with a 3rd kit, every clubs third kit is basically whatever they want it to be.

I get what you are saying, but...... we have our first choice kit, which has the home advantage - we will always wear it at selhurst. When we play away, if they clash, we have to use our alternate, 2nd kit, which is considered the away kit... as you wouldn't wear it at home. However, for marketing purposes, a 3rd kit is introduced and is just a money maker.
There is a home kit, as we always wear it at home.
There is an away kit, as the only time we will wear it is when away...

so.. yeah.

 


This was once a quality forum....

I had or have the yellow cuffed one and love it dearly

Not that I recall.

There was the '69 blue cuff and neck version and the later yellow cuff and neck with the gold 'Crystal Palace' across the stripe.
I have a reproduction which is a mix of the two with the yellow cuffs and neck but with the badge between the stripes.

Away kits are just as much about money as the third kit, our club colours are red and blue. Our away kit could be yellow or green and we could keep that colour every season and there would never be any issues. We change them yearly just to make money. Aslong as we keep red and blue stripes for our home, I couldn't really care what they do with the others

Trying to remember which season it was, think it was back in the early 90's but we had a stupid number of kits. We had traditional red and blue stripes and then some bright spark decided our away kit should be all blue! and then the 3rd kit all red! Was all very silly and we seemed to wear a different kit every week.

The problem with our club is historically our identity is pretty tinpot, we started with the help of Aston villa, lending their kits and wore a variation of white claret and blue for years when we really should have decided our own strip a long time before. We decide to rebrand in the early 70's, changing not only our strip but the clubs nickname, I wasn't alive back then and don't know how fans allowed it to happen, should have remained the glaziers, its pretty disrespectful to the founding members of our football club, maybe the older fans could let us know how it was received.


We then played in an iconic and unique white with red and blue sash which could have remained our club colours but went back to red and blue stripes under Sir Steve and our most successful spell.

Not only that but a new rivalry is started with Brighton so we have fans alive today that have completely different views on who we are as club. There will be some fans who have watched Palace for more years without the red & blue, eagles and Brighton rivalry than they have with it. We can't just keep chopping and changing.

The way the club has now tried to claim the original crystal Palace fc is even more tinpot. Instead of we've found a book in a South Norwood library we are the oldest professional club in the world, they could have just said, we understand the 2 clubs are separate but we belive the original club was indirectly responsible for Crystal Palace 1905 and we will pay homage to them with this new 3rd kit.

Does anyone know if I can buy the adult shirt WITHOUT some gambling company's logo on it ? I really wish the club would find a different shirt sponsor. The sooner all gambling companies are banned from advertising the better.

Steve Martyniuk's The Origin of Crystal Palace FC book has revealed the 1905 side played in cardinal red, not claret. He has the minutes from the founding meetings and newspaper cuttings from the early years stating this. Agree with you on the last point re paying homage to the first CPFC.

No, I believe that sponsorship deals mean that clubs can only sell replica kit with the sponsors name on it.

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

If you break into parish’s house you’ll have the choice of many samples including shirts not chosen. You couldn’t wear them in public or you’ll end up sharing a cell with low life.
