Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's kit history is one of the most distinctive evolutions in English football, shifting from their early claret‑and‑blue origins—echoing their links to Aston Villa—to the bold red‑and‑blue identity that has defined the club since the 1970s. The early decades saw Palace move through claret‑and‑blue halves, then white shirts with claret and blue trim, before adopting white with blue shorts in the mid‑20th century. The transformation came in 1973 when Malcolm Allison introduced the now‑iconic red‑and‑blue vertical stripes, a look that manufacturers such as Umbro, Bukta and Admiral helped cement through the 70s and 80s. The 1990s brought more adventurous interpretations under Ribero, Nutmeg and Adidas, followed by a long run of varied designs from manufacturers including TFG, Diadora, Erreà and Macron, each experimenting with stripe width, sash revivals and modern graphic patterns. Today's kits continue to reinterpret the red‑and‑blue palette with contemporary styling, but the club's identity remains rooted in that dramatic 1970s shift that gave Palace their unmistakable visual character.
