Crystal Palace have controversially pivoted from their trademark red and blue home kit and will instead don white at Selhurst Park next season.The new kit is a modern twist on Palace’s iconic sash kit, first worn en route to the semi-final of the FA Cup in 1976. Set against a chequered backdrop, the shirt is white with a red and blue sash detailed with white pinstripes. The sleeves also incorporate red and blue stripes with a matching white pinstripe. Palace wore a white sash at home throughout the late 70s and 80s – with a brief revival in the 2008-09 season – before red and blue became the norm. In recent history, the sash has been an away kit. But it will return to Selhurst Park to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its original introduction.
