Far too much I agree with, and common sense expressed here to register with those making decisions. If we can’t have a full striped kit then I’d like the Rank Xerox to become the standard default kit. With the sash reserved for anniversaries! Away kit - for me should be amber and black, but accept yellow and blue seems indelibly set for many. Don’t mind if that is varied with navy/yellow (as 2010/11) or stripes as last season. Third kit - I like the red and black, or sky/navy (again, Rank Xerox era)but should give some licence for the club to bugger about and vary it. Within reason. So no Japanese wallpaper designs or psychedelic ‘far out,man’ crap (2022/3 and this year). Two year cycle, good idea, but commercially the club and manufacturers probably wouldn’t suppory that.

Not sure, I recall Gecko did some badge designs. He might have been involved in the shirts at one point.

Fine. Until they turn round. Just looking at the clips on here and the backs look dreadful, very tacky.

It takes years of practice to build the confidence to perfect a dummy like that. You can’t coach it, it’s intuitive.

Introduce him slowly between now and the closure of the transfer window. A couple of goals pre-season and he’ll be at Chelsea before end of August.

Far better in the good old days of The Alehouse when they’d go somewhere and someone would spu their guts up after being under the guidance of Big Ron and the senior pros the night before on the piss.

Not Jander for me. And despite how highly we rate him and the job he does for us, I don’t see Downes in the “big money” category.

And we paid how much for Edozie, Larios etc ???

Even Rupert Lowe invited supporters input in the kit selection. Possibly a lot easier when it’s produced in house, but I doubt we’d end up with the crap we’re served up with if fans views are canvassed. For me a feature on a striped shirt is ‘stripes on the back?’. If that’s not available then I’d sadly be inclined to scrap the stripes altogether.

There were a few on display at the SF, looked really good. Put a lot of modern efforts to shame.

Good, can we loan him to Eastleigh for the rest of the season ?

This is where FAB should come into play and rattle a few at the club, if they have anything about them or serve any purpose. But they probably won’t. Imagine they’re too inclined to just nod along to whatever they’re told, and be grateful the club listen to them on whether the concourse should stock Quavers and Wagon Wheels.

All a matter of opinion but for me the mono colour crest is the least of my concerns. The design and the ridiculous back panel render discussion about the crest pointless. the design is more important, after who will be wearing it of course. Get the team right and I don’t suppose we’ll care too much if the change kit is them playing in their underpants. (In answer to Trousers question I’m pretty sure others have done this with the badge it, but can’t recall who or when).

Not belittling your efforts by any means, but if you can come up with these designs (even those copying earlier kits), why can’t the manufacturers, or the club adopt something better than the shit they’ve agreed ?

Quite simple. Pay up or fuck off. Palace have probably got more money to splash.
