Thats was SP said, and we've all seen the detail posted earlier.

What a wasted opportunity.

If it's possible and OK to use a design from a supporter, why not open it up to the fanbase and make a competition?

Can you imagine the enthusiasm and participation that could have generated. Then we'd all be vested in the new kits.

Missed a great opportunity. Especially in these difficult times when we can't see our team play, etc.

The fan's profile name was Ms. S. Reid.

its like people are being negative just because we didnt beat the top 6 in our final 10 games and we finished the season like lewis hamilton did last weekend.

i hate the sponsor so i wont be buying one, but actually, in my eyes its better than last seasons offerings.

This.

With a vote on kits there will be at least one someone likes and will buy. It all boils down to money that goes to the club so there is no point going down the route of it's just a kit like rashid. Do we not want a kit which a majority would buy resulting in money through merchandise to the club.

In my eyes we have gone from all three kit options of one of the most popular to a big difference of a kit the majority won't buy. When you are wanting to change as much as the kits have, I would have thought (especially as parish was part of a advertising company) he would test these kits on fans first before deciding on what to go with.

As you’ve touched upon Parish has made millions from marketing.

It’s not moaning for the sake of moaning. I’m about as positive as they come on this forum.

The funny thing is that I never buy the kits, the last one I bought was the centenary one in 2005. It’s not something I usually care about and it shouldn’t bother me, but this is a spectacular failure. It’s such an odd looking strip and just doesn’t feel like a Palace kit. I’m astounded that someone passed this off.

It wouldn’t be getting the reaction it is if It was ok looking. We’re gonna look like a right bunch of wallies running out in that! I don’t know how much the club rely on merchandising, but I can’t see many of these being sold.

I tend to agree with this 100% about the white kit, maybe it is an age thing?
If I had to criticise it would be that IMO the 2nd/3rd kits should not follow the same template and possibly be completely different colours (I always like a yellow kit).

Exactly, if it was okish I wouldn't have said a thing and I suspect a number of the other posters wouldn't have been as negative either.

Tbh first reaction, seriously!!. But I think they may be a slow burner and actually be far better than the pics portray.

The 3rd white version is growing on me, maybe a future classic.

The thing is, the home kit needs to be simple, red and blue stripes.

The home hit, it's good enough for me.

The away kit is, in my mind a good chance to have an alternate palace shirt - a colour, style we don't normally have - I have always gone for away shirts for that very reason - they seem more collectible to me.

The 3rd shirt has been a rarity but seems to be a mainstay... this is where you do a crowd pleaser or just something different - like the black sash or a homage shirt.

I have to admit - recently it seems the remit for these shirts is 'appeal or represent the urban, grittier side of south London, the street side' with a lot of our black players - which I find derivative. The music, the editing, too much for me... Sure, tap into that aspect but we have so much more..

 


This was once a quality forum....

PhuketEagle Flag Phuket 14 Aug 20 7.58am

Like the home kit & the third kit, good stuff. But the red, white & blue away shirt with white shorts makes it look like the players are wearing a dress! Come on man, use a darker colour for those shorts!

Its not helpful to bring the colour of someone's skin into this. I doubt the club has launched any kit to appeal to a particular ethnic group and anyway no self respecting Cronx fashionista would be seen dead in any of these hideous concoctions.

We have had the sash, the evil sash, the Brazil kit and now have the toothpaste kit.

So you are claiming Palace only get £3.50 per shirt?

Knowing many people involved in manufacturing etc this is not true at all Palace would be getting at least 20% of retail.

I think you may of read some articles claiming about the poor clubs not making much money when the truth is some of the big clubs may only get that because of the deals they had with sponsors so its a way to manipulate the books.

If some one like Palace only made that much they wouldn't even be able to cover their own costs its a complete lie.

The new kits are awful I really hope people do not buy them to show the club again to listen to the fans it's not hard to let fans choose options for kits via a vote.

listen to the price of football podcast with palace fan kevin day & football finance expert keiran maguire....this will give you facts to work with.

puma would have paid an up front fee to make the clubs merchandise in the 1st place, however after that initial fee most clubs on average only get approx 7% commission on any product sold there after. 7% of £50 is approx £3.50.

the deal liverpool have struck with nike is 20% and thats a one of a kind deal.
