Eagles go back to sash
 |
| Palace's new home kit |
Crystal Palace are to do away with their traditional red and blue striped shirts for next season.
Instead they are going back to the sash design with one red and one blue stripe next to each other going from the left shoulder to the right hip on a white shirt.
It will be the first time the club have worn the sash since the 1986 -1987 season having worn it for all but one season in the decade before that. During that time they achieved promotion to the old Division Two and Division One leagues, but also suffered relegation from the then top flight in 1981.
The club's away kit will be a yellow shirt with blue shorts.

Changing shirts for next season? another scam to rob the kids of their pocket money.
Greedy football people

The fans asked for a sash shirt and their were petitions on two websites to get this changed. If anyone is to blame it is us the fans and nothing to do with the football club!!

Appologies to Jonathan for getting it wrong regarding Palace changing shirts for next season. Pity our friends at the Guardian didn't say it was the fans decision to change the shirts in their report. I always thought the Palace fans were worth a few bob.

The club was always going to change the kit. The fans just got to pick which one.

Love the new kits, apart from the errea bit on the sleeve of the home kit looks a bit tacky...otherwise a big thumbs up for both home and away kits!

[/quote] It's a bit of a homage to the old Admiral kit of the early 80's, rather than the Adidas version released in the late 70's. I would have prefered to have the Light Blue with Red sash as the away shirt instead of the Yellow.

Does this mean a return to the double-shortarse front line like Alan Whittle and Don Rogers? No more long-balls when your strikers are only 5'6"!

I think the new home kit looks great. I agree that maybe the [italic]errea[/italic] logo going the sleeves does make it look a little pants; but overall I think I will be buying this kit when the new season starts. the Away looks good too.

Just to add that the shirts were voted for [bold]BY THE FANS[/bold] so the fans DID choose the sash as next seasons home shirt. The fans had a choice of the stripes or the sash as the home shirt and the yellow shirt and another variation of the sash. To say the fans didn't want the sash as the home shirt is extremely wide of the mark. Anyway, who cares.... It's only a shirt, if you don't like it you don't buy it.... As fans we do also have that choice!!

Jonathan, you are being very naive!! You have fallen for one of the oldest tricks in the book! Club puts a fans poll up, picks the kit they really want then there can be no complaints cos the fans picked the kit! lol. Having a totally different colour home kit is the perfect way to sell more shirts as most people would look a bit silly wearing red n' ble at Selhurst. I don't know anyone who voted for the sash kit for home - it would have been great for away. And [bold]just 36 per cent[/bold] voted for it on supporters website http://www.holmesdal

Get a grip guys, most Championship teams change their kit every season, if you don't like it, don't buy it. It's only a football shirt.
As for greed, it is not exactly a secret that running a football club outside of the Prem these days is a loss making activity.
