Sorry, are we aston villa now then?

I do know the history, but we've had iconic red and blue kits for half a century, and are the only team in the league to play in those colours. Why would we ditch that to use colours that half the league play in?

the away kit has full red n blue, so i guess its a nod to our history.
still a nice kit whatever.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Maybe this white one is the third kit…giving a bit more scope for design freedom. Also, an issue for us I think is that sometimes all our kits clash with some opponents as we have red and blue in them all so this is more different, so more useful as a third?

I read this board everyday but never write anything; except this.

Ok I don't usually buy Palace shirts unless I really like them and they're reduced. But f*** me that is beautiful

La la la your mum

You’ve only got to go into the Club Shop or visit the club website to see the claret & blue retro shirts and other souvenirs - which I assume sell in good numbers as they are often different versions every season - to see why the club would use the colours.

Don’t think any Palace fan that saw Palace play in the old colours will ever tell you they didn’t like them - so many memorable matches and great Palace players in those shirts - of course we should be celebrating them, in my view.

Hi! I'm Ed Winchester!

Those are the best kits we've had for years. I sort of agree that the claret should be red but by the time I've spilt have a dozen snakebites down it, it probably will be anyway.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...
