Shirt Changes

Following the thread on Black & White scarfs, it got me thinking.
My first ever Palace game was V Bristol Rovers in Oct '63. If my memory serves me right we played in our 3rd
strip of yellow shirts white shorts. As I only attended a handful of games that season was it a one off or did the home side change if there was a colour clash? I know in a lot of local leagues it was common practice.
The following year when I came regularly it definitely wasn't the case.

Slightly before my time but seems it was the away kit and was adopted as the home strip.

The yellowy/tangerine top seemed to have been worn on random occasions in home matches ( and quite possibly away). It was certainly donned in the final game of season v.Oldham, 1963/64. I also particularly remember that strip being worn v. Forest in the cup in Feb. 1965, for no apparent reason (certainly not a colour clash). However,the main kit from 64/65 onwards (for a couple of seasons) was the Real style all white strip with the red,white and blue badge.
