If we do well, this will be a classic kit. If poorly, consigned to the dustbin of history.

Good Points well made. I will go with this. Originally posted by sydtheeagle
Personally, I loathe it. It's visually abhorrent. The colours are "wrong", the diagonal stripes are wrong, they don't end "in the right place" anyway, and all-in-all it looks like tweaking for tweaking's sake. Strange that in a season we produce our best new kit in years (the third kit), we come up with this crime against humanity. But, I said personally. That's just my opinion and I'll be the first to admit that having watched Palace since the late 60s, I'm hardly in my fashion moment. The strange thing is, much as I dislike the kit, I get it. It is "modern". The design is innovative. It does set us apart from virtually every other kit in the PL. It does craft a strong identity for the club. Is it marmite? Definitely. But shops sell a truckload of marmite and marmite is a pretty profitable business. Putting my own personal taste aside, I actually think the shirt is pretty good in so far as it does what you probably want a contemporary football shirt to do. Still thinks it's revolting, but I do get it.

Just a bit boring really. Nice to see the yellow in the second strip and the third strip has nothing to do with Palace! And as for the silly nonsense of a new strip every year..... I had a few pints in A Croydon Micro Pub recently and a guy was wearing the third kit and everyone thought it looked great,even though the wearer was very rotund.

The third strip has everything to do with Palace as it harks back to the origins of the club. If anything Red and Blue has less to do with Palace than say claret and light blue as it formed the basis of kits over a much longer period of time.

Our home kit is growing on me, initially I didn’t take to it upon seeing it - however, over time since release it is a creeper and after watching that review quite clearly it ranked as no.1 and compared to other teams you look at it through different eyes. Not in isolation or through nostalgic tendencies.

If we play Partick Thistle, Shrewsbury Town or Bradford City or any club which has yellow and either red or blue in their home kit (I forgot Galatasaray and maybe even Fenerbahce) then both our first two kits are in danger of clashing, hence our 1861 kit saves the day in such circumstances and it's better to be prepared for all situations rather than regret it nearer the event.
